出埃及记 38:24-29 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 38:21-31

Here we have a breviat of the account which, by Moses's appointment, the Levites took and kept of the gold, silver, and brass, that was brought in for the tabernacle's use, and how it was employed. Ithamar the son of Aaron was appointed to draw up this account, and was thus by less services trained up and fitted for greater, Exod. 38:21. Bezaleel and Aholiab must bring in the account (Exod. 38:22, 23), and Ithamar must audit it, and give it in to Moses. And it was thus:?1. All the gold was a... read more

A bekah for every man, that is , half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary ,.... A half shekel was called a "bekah", from בקע , "bakah", to divide; because it was a shekel divided into two parts: for everyone that went to be numbered, from twenty years and upwards ; in order to give a ransom, and make an atonement for their souls, as was ordered Exodus 30:12 . for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men ; so that from the time of their... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 38:24

All the gold that was occupied for the work, etc. - To be able to ascertain the quantum and value of the gold, silver, and brass, which were employed in the tabernacle, and its different utensils, altars, etc., it will be necessary to enter into the subject in considerable detail. In the course of my notes on this and the preceding book, I have had frequent occasion to speak of the shekel in use among the ancient Hebrews, which, following Dean Prideaux, I have always computed at 3s... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 38:26

A bekah for every man - The Hebrew word בקי ( beka ), from בקי ( baka ), to divide, separate into two, seems to signify, not a particular coin, but a shekel broken or cut in two; so, anciently, our farthing was a penny divided in the midst and then subdivided, so that each division contained the fourth part of the penny; hence its name fourthing or fourthling, since corrupted into farthing. There appear to be three particular reasons why much riches should be employed in the... read more

First, Christ and his sacrifice; next, the washing of regeneration by him through the Spirit; and, last of all, the gathering together of the Church. This is the Divine order. The true Church has ever this history. None have a right to... read more
