Exodus 38:27-28 NIV

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

And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail ,.... The sockets for the boards of the tabernacle, into which they were put; and the sockets for the vail, which divided between the holy and the most holy place, in which the pillars were set the vail was hung upon, and which was the silver foundation of the whole fabric: one hundred sockets of the one hundred talents, a talent for a socket ; there were ninety six sockets for the... read more

And of the thousand seven hundred seventy five shekels ,.... Which remained of the sum collected, Exodus 38:25 after the silver sockets were cast: he made hooks for the pillars : on each side of the court of the tabernacle on which the hangings were hung; these hooks, as Kimchi says F20 Sepher Shorash. Rad. וו . , were in the form of the letter ו , and were made to hang the sacrifices upon, when they took their skins off; and so it is said in the Misnah F21 Pesachim, c.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 38:21-31

The enumeration of the metals used. This served a useful purpose— 1 . As an account rendered to the people of what had been done with their gifts. 2 . As gratifying a very laudable wish of the contributors to know how much the sum-total of their contributions amounted to. 3 . As giving a just idea of the splendour and costliness of the building. 4 . As a testimony to the liberality, willingness, and unstinting self-sacrifice of all classes in the congregation. 5 . As... read more

Great wealth worthily employed. I. THE AMOUNT EXPENDED BY THE ISRAELITES WAS GREAT ABSOLUTELY . Although the materials contributed for the construction of the tabernacle are quite within the estimate which would reasonably be formed of the wealth of the Israelites from the general tenor of the narrative, yet they certainly reach altogether to such an amount of value as would constitute a very serious call on the resources of such a people. The worth of the metals alone... read more
