Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

The brass, though less valuable, was of use not only for the brazen altar, but for the sockets of the court, which probably in other tents were of wood: but it is promised ( Isa. lx. 17 ), For wood I will bring brass. See how liberal the people were and how faithful the workmen were, in both which respects their good example ought to be followed.

This site's exposition

of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets

on Exodus 38:27-28

The ransom money is accounted for to the shekel and it went into the ground. A hundred talents made a hundred sockets at a talent each, ninety six under the boards of the dwelling and four under the pillars of the vail, so the frame of the tent stands on the price paid for the men who were numbered. Exodus 30:16 said the money was to be appointed for the service of the tabernacle, and this verse says which part of the service it became.
