They used 3 3Ú4 tons of that silver to make the 100 bases for the {Lord’s} holy place and for the curtain. They used 75 pounds [447] of silver for each base.
Moses set up the Holy Tent like the Lord had said. He put the bases down first. Then he put the frames on the bases. Then he put the braces on and set up the posts.
The people from the Merari family were given the job of caring for the frames of the Holy Tent. They cared for all the braces, posts, bases, and everything that was used with the frames of the Holy Tent.
