It is to have four posts and their four bases.

¹⁷“All the posts around the courtyard are to be banded with silver and have silver hooks and bronze bases. ¹⁸The courtyard is to be 150 feet long, 75 feet wide at each end, and 7½ feet high,^C all of it made of finely spun linen. The bases of the posts are to be bronze. ¹⁹All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use and all its tent pegs as well as all the tent pegs of the courtyard are to be made of bronze.
