The daric was a gold coin used during the Persian Empire, indicating the influence of Persian culture and economy on the Jewish people during this period. The significant amount of gold reflects the dedication and sacrifice of the people, reminiscent of the contributions for the Tabernacle in <a href="/exodus/35-22.htm">Exodus 35:22</a>. This act of giving can be seen as a type of Christ's sacrificial giving, as the people willingly offered their resources for the restoration of Jerusalem, foreshadowing Christ's ultimate sacrifice for the restoration of humanity.<p><b>2,000 minas of silver</b><br>The mina was a unit of weight and currency in the ancient Near East. The substantial amount of silver given by the people underscores their commitment to the cause. Silver, often associated with redemption in the Bible (e.g., <a href="/exodus/30-11.htm">Exodus 30:11-16</a>), symbolizes the people's desire for spiritual renewal and redemption. This contribution parallels the silver used in the construction of the Tabernacle, where it served as a ransom for each Israelite, pointing to the redemptive work of Christ.<p><b>and 67 priestly garments</b><br>The mention of priestly garments emphasizes the importance of worship and the role of the priesthood in the community. These garments were essential for the priests to perform their duties in the Temple, as outlined in <a href="/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28</a>. The provision of these garments signifies the people's recognition of the need for proper worship and the restoration of religious practices. This can be seen as a type of Christ, our High Priest, who provides the ultimate means of worship and access to God.
