All the posts around the courtyard shall have silver bands
on Exodus 27:17-19
Every post carries “silver bands,” and Exodus 38:25 to 38:28 traces that silver to the half shekel each man paid when counted. The linen wall stands “five cubits high,” above a man's head, screening the altar from anyone outside.

the court of the tabernacle--The enclosure in which the edifice stood was a rectangular court, extending rather more than fifty yards in length and half that space in breadth, and the enclosing parapet was about three yards or half the height of the tabernacle.
