The sum of what the people offered, and the use to which it was applied All the gold The phrase "All the gold" signifies the totality and completeness of the gold collected for the construction of the Tabernacle. In the Hebrew context, gold (זָהָב, zahav) is often associated with purity, divinity, and kingship. The use of gold in the Tabernacle underscores the sacredness and the divine presence of God among His people. Historically, gold was a precious commodity, symbolizing wealth and divine favor, and its use here reflects the Israelites' dedication and sacrifice in worship. used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary amounted to 29 talents and 730 shekels according to the sanctuary shekel The gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents.--The gold talent is estimated by Poole as = 10,000 shekels, and the gold shekel as worth about 1 2s. of our money. In this case the gold employed in the Tabernacle would have been worth nearly 320,000. Some, however, reduce the estimate to 175,000 (Cook), and others to 132,000 (Thenius). In any case the amount was remarkable, and indicated at once the liberal spirit which animated the people and the general feeling that a lavish expenditure was required by the occasion. There is no difficulty in supposing that the Israelites possessed at the time gold to the (highest) value estimated, since they had carried with them out of Egypt, besides their ancestral wealth, a vast amount of gold and silver ornaments, freely given to them by the Egyptians (Exodus 3:22; Exodus 12:35-36). Verse 24. - The gold. The value of the gold has been estimated by Canon Cook at £175,075 13s. 0d. of our money; by Thenius at 877,300 Prussian thalers, or about £131,595. It was certainly under £200,000. De Wette and others have argued that the possession of so large a sum in gold at this time by the Hebrew nation is inconceivable. But most critics are of a different opinion. Gold was very abundant in Egypt at the period, being imported from Ethiopia, a rich gold-producing country (Herod. 3:23; Diod. Sic. 3:11), as well as taken in tribute from the nations of Asia. The wealth of Rhampsinitus (Rameses III.), a little later than the exodus, was enormous (Herod. 2:121; Rawlinson, History of Egypt, vol. 2. pp. 368, 378). According to the preceding narrative (Exodus 12:35, 36) much of the wealth of Egypt had, at the moment of their quitting the country, passed from the Egyptians to the Hebrews. If they numbered two millions of souls, their gold ornaments are likely to have been worth very much more than £200,000 of our money.
