Exodus 38:26-28

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁶ The rate was one beka a head (that is, half a shekel a head), measured by the shekel of the sanctuary. One beka was given by each man as he passed over to those who had been counted—a beka each was given by 603,550 men from twenty years old and older. ²⁷ The one hundred talents of silver were used for casting the sockets for the sanctuary and the sockets for the veil. One hundred sockets were made from the one hundred talents, a talent per socket.^{[a] 28} From the 1,775 shekels, Bezalel made hooks for the posts, overlaid their capitals, and made connectors for them.
