This site's exposition

The bronze from the wave offering totaled 70 talents

on Exodus 38:29-31

The bronze total closes the audit, running from the altar down to the tent pegs. The three metals fall by distance from the ark, gold within the veil, silver in the foundations and fittings, bronze in the courtyard.

the bases for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting

The bases at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting are bronze, five of them by John Gill's count from Exodus 26:37. The bases under the frames and the veil were silver, as verse 27 records. The metal changes at the tent door.
