Ibn Ezra on Exodus 26:11/אבן עזרא על שמות כ״ו:י״א
אועשית. קרסי המשכן זהב כי הוא נכבד:
1AND THOU SHALT MAKE. The clasps of the curtains which made up the tabernacle51 were made of gold because they were used for the most important curtains.
בוהאהל כמו מכסה, על כן קרסיו נחשת ואינם נראים כי ב' מכסים על האהל:
2The tent served as a cover over the tabernacle. Its clasps were therefore made of brass.52 The brass clasps were not visible because there were two covers over the tent.53
