EXODUS 38:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:”
The silver obtained from those of the community who were counted in the census was 100 talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel. The silver accounting: 100 talents and 1,775 shekels — the census tax collected from the counted Israelites. The silver came from the ransom of every life counted: half a shekel per person. Every man over twenty who was counted contributed equally; the total is the sum of all their equal contributions. The accounting confirms that the silver foundation of the tabernacle represents the ransom of every member of the community.
