9749. 'The hooks of the pillars and their bands [shall be made] from silver' means the modes by which they are linked together through truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'the hooks' and 'their bands' as the modes of linking together (for this meaning of 'the hooks', see 9676; and the same thing is meant by 'bands' through the hooks' attachment to them); and from the meaning of 'silver' as truth, dealt with in 1551, 2954, 5658, 6112, 6914, 6917, 7999.
