And you shall make for the screen uses the singular you. Five pillars of acacia uses the same word for pillars as verse 32. Here again they may be referred to as “posts” (Good News Translation), “poles” (New Jerusalem Bible), or “columns” (New American Bible). And overlay them with gold uses the singular “you.” (For overlay see the comment at 25.11.)

Their hooks shall be of gold refers to the same kind of hooks as in verse 32, which here are to be attached to five pillars instead of four. The five bases for these pillars were to be different from those in verse 32. They were to be bases of bronze rather than of silver. (See the comment at 25.12.) They were also to be cast, meaning that the bronze was to be melted and poured into a mold. (See the comment at verse 11.) Since the screen was to be farther away from the ark and the Holy of Holies, a less expensive metal was to be used. (See the introductory comments to chapter 27.)
