List of metals used

Exo 38:21–31

38:21 List of metals used

21These are the records from making the sacred tent (where the stone transcripts were kept). They were recorded by the Levites according to Mosheh’s instructions and supervised by Ithamar (a son of Aharon the priest).

22Bezalel (son of Uri son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah) made everything that Yahweh had instructed Mosheh to make. 23Oholiab (son of Ahisamak, from the tribe of Dan) worked with him—he was an engraver and a designer and an embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet, and in fine linen.

24The gold that they used for the construction of the sacred tent was measured at 965kg. This was the gold from the wave offering and was weighed using the official standard weights. 25The silver contributed by the people was measured at 3,420kg also using the official weights.[ref] 26During the census, every male who was twenty years old or older paid a 5g silver coin—a total of 603,550 men.[ref] 27They’d used 3,400kg of silver to make the bases under the pillars that supported the sacred tent’s curtains (34kg for each of one hundred bases) 28and the other twenty kilograms were used for the hooks for the pillars and for the caps on the tops of them. 29The bronze from the wave offering came to 2,400kg 30and it was used to make the bases for the pillars at the tent entrance and for the altar and its grating and all the utensils, 31and for the bases for the posts for the curtains around the courtyard and at the entrance, and for the tent pegs for the main structure and around the courtyard.

Exo 30:11-16:

30:11 The tax for making the tent

11Then Yahweh told Mosheh: 12Whenever you take a census of the Israeli men, each man must pay a ransom to Yahweh for his life when they’re counted, and then the counting won’t cause a plague among them. 13As each man crosses over to stand with those who’ve been counted, he must pay give a half-shekel coin as an offering to me. (That’s half of the official shekel weight of 12 grams.)[ref] 14Every man who’s twenty or older must pay this contribution to me when he’s counted— 15the wealthy aren’t expected to pay more, and the poor must not pass less than this amount when they pay this ransom to me to make atonement for your lives. 16Then you must take that money from the Israelis and use it for work on the sacred tent—it will be a reminder to me that you all have made atonement for your lives.
