9624. 'And you shall make fifty clasps of bronze' means a complete ability derived from external good to join things together. This is clear from the meaning of 'fifty clasps' as a complete ability to join things together, dealt with above in 9611; and from the meaning of 'bronze' as natural or external good, dealt with in 425, 1551.
