sockets shall be of brass.
Ex. 26:19‑21• 19And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
 20And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:
 21And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. (Ex. 26:19‑21)
fillets shall be of silver.
Ex. 36:38• 38And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass. (Ex. 36:38)
;
Jer. 52:21• 21And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow. (Jer. 52:21)
• The material of the pillars is not stated. It might seem, at first sight, from the tenth verse, as if they wore of brass; but on comparing chapter 38:10, it is most probable that the brass refers alone to the sockets. (“The Court of the Tabernacle: Exodus 27:9-19” by E. Dennett)
• They were socketed in brass, and capped with silver (Ex. 38:17). Brass is divine righteousness testing man in responsibility. Hence, indeed, brass is characteristic of the outside, as gold is of the inside, of the Tabernacle. Man’s responsibility must be tested and met before he can be brought into God’s presence. (“The Court of the Tabernacle: Exodus 27:9-19” by E. Dennett)
• Silver speaks of redemption. The pillars were capped with it, and the curtains were suspended upon it. So Christ displays the efficacy of His work. It is His crown of glory even at the right hand of God. If therefore He searches the sinner by the sockets of brass, He declares to him at the same time the value of the blood as shown by the silver. (“The Court of the Tabernacle: Exodus 27:9-19” by E. Dennett)
