EXODUS 38:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.”
One beka per person, that is, half a shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, from everyone who had crossed over to those counted, twenty years old or more, a total of 603,550 men. The census count: 603,550 men twenty years old or more. The same number appears in Numbers 1:46. The beka per person multiplied by 603,550 produces the silver total of verse 25. The mathematical precision of the accounting confirms the completeness of the census: every counted man contributed, and the total materials match the expected total. The tabernacle built on the ransom of 603,550 lives stands on a foundation of comprehensive atonement.
