Exodus 38:24 All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the wave offering, was 29 talents and 730 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. (NASB ©1995)Exodus 30:13 "This is what everyone who is numbered shall give: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as a contribution to the LORD.
Leviticus 27:25 'Every valuation of yours, moreover, shall be after the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.
Numbers 3:47 you shall take five shekels apiece, per head; you shall take them in terms of the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs),
Numbers 18:16 "As to their redemption price, from a month old you shall redeem them, by your valuation, five shekels in silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. (NASB ©1995) Treasury of Scripture Knowledge All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.all the gold. If we follow the estimation of the learned Dean Prideaux, the value of the twenty-nine talents, and 730 shekels of gold, will be 198,347l. 12s. 6d. The value of the silver contributed by 603,550 Israelites, at half a shekel, or 1s.6d. per man, will amount of 45,266l.5s. The value of the 70 talents, 2400 shekels of brass, will be 513l.17s. The gold weighed 4245 pounds, the silver, 14,603 pounds, and the brass, 10,277 pounds, troy weight. The total value of all the gold, silver, and brass, will consequently amount to 244,127l.14s.6d.; and the total weight of these three metals will amount to 29,124 pounds troy, which reduced to avoirdupois weight, is equal to fourteen tons, 226 pounds!--It may, perhaps, seem difficult to imagine how the Israelites should be possessed of so much wealth in the desert; but it should be remembered, that their ancestors were opulent men before they came into Egypt; that they were further enriched by the spoils of the Egyptians and Amalekites; and that it is probable, they traded with the neighbouring nations who bordered on the wilderness. There appear to be three reasons why so much riches should have been employed in the construction of the tabernacle. To impress the people's minds with the glory and dignity of the Divine Majesty, and the importance of his service. To take out of their hands the occasion of covetousness. To prevent pride and vain glory, by leading them to give up to the divine service even the ornaments of their persons. 1Ch 22:14-16 29:2-7 Hag 2:8 offering Ex 25:2 29:24 35:22 the shekel Ex 30:13,14,24 Le 5:15 27:3,25 Nu 3:47 18:16 Concordance Entries Amount Construction 730 Gold Holy Hundred Nine Occupied Offering Prepared Sanctuary Scale Seven Shekel Shekels Talents Thirty Twenty Twenty-nine Wave Wave-offering Weight Jump to Previous Occurrence Amount Construction Gold Holy Hundred Nine Occupied Offering Sanctuary Seven Shekel Shekels Talents Thirty Total Twenty Twenty-Nine Used Wave Work Jump to Next Occurrence Amount Construction Gold Holy Hundred Nine Occupied Offering Sanctuary Seven Shekel Shekels Talents Thirty Total Twenty Twenty-Nine Used Wave Work New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
