Gold, a precious metal, symbolizes purity and divinity, often associated with God's presence. The hooks' function is to support the veil, which separates the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, emphasizing the separation between God and humanity due to sin. This separation is later bridged by Christ, whose sacrifice allows believers direct access to God (<a href="/hebrews/10-19.htm">Hebrews 10:19-20</a>).<p><b>on four posts of acacia wood</b><br>Acacia wood is known for its durability and resistance to decay, making it a suitable material for the tabernacle's construction. This wood is native to the Sinai region, indicating the Israelites used available resources. The four posts represent stability and structure, supporting the veil. In a typological sense, the wood can symbolize Christ's humanity, which was incorruptible and sinless.<p><b>overlaid with gold</b><br>The overlaying of acacia wood with gold signifies the divine nature of Christ covering His humanity. Gold's presence throughout the tabernacle points to the glory and majesty of God. This combination of wood and gold in the tabernacle's construction reflects the dual nature of Christ as both fully human and fully divine.<p><b>and standing on four silver bases</b><br>Silver in the Bible often represents redemption. The bases provide a foundation for the posts, symbolizing that the structure of the tabernacle, and by extension the presence of God, is founded on redemption. This foreshadows the redemptive work of Christ, who is the foundation of the believer's faith (<a href="/1_corinthians/3-11.htm">1 Corinthians 3:11</a>).
