Silver, often associated with redemption in biblical symbolism, was collected as a ransom offering from the Israelites (<a href="/exodus/30-11.htm">Exodus 30:11-16</a>). This connects to the idea of redemption and atonement, as each Israelite contributed a half-shekel of silver as a ransom for their lives. The bases of the sanctuary, made from this silver, provided a foundation for the structure, symbolizing the foundational role of redemption in the relationship between God and His people.<p><b>and the bases of the veil</b><br>The veil separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. This separation emphasized the holiness of God and the barrier between God and humanity due to sin. The bases of the veil, made from the same silver, underscore the theme of redemption as the means by which this barrier could eventually be overcome. In the New Testament, the tearing of the temple veil at Jesus' crucifixion (<a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a>) signifies the removal of this barrier, allowing direct access to God through Christ.<p><b>100 bases from the 100 talents</b><br>The precise number of bases and talents reflects the order and meticulousness in God's instructions for the tabernacle's construction. This attention to detail underscores the importance of obedience to God's commands. The number 100, being a complete and rounded figure, may symbolize completeness and sufficiency in the provision for the tabernacle, ensuring that every part had a firm foundation.<p><b>one talent per base</b><br>The allocation of one talent per base indicates a uniformity and equality in the foundation of the sanctuary. This can be seen as a reflection of the equal value of each person's contribution to the community and the equal standing of all before God. In a broader theological sense, it points to the idea that each believer, redeemed by Christ, is equally foundational in the spiritual house of God (<a href="/1_peter/2-5.htm">1 Peter 2:5</a>), where Christ is the chief cornerstone.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who received the instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle from God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/b/bezalel_and_oholiab.htm">Bezalel and Oholiab</a></b><br>Skilled craftsmen appointed by God to oversee the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable sanctuary where God dwelled among the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sanctuary_and_the_veil.htm">The Sanctuary and the Veil</a></b><br>The inner parts of the Tabernacle, including the Holy of Holies, separated by the veil.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God who contributed materials for the construction of the Tabernacle.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a></b><br>The Israelites followed God's specific instructions for the Tabernacle, highlighting the importance of obedience in our walk with God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_and_purpose.htm">God's Provision and Purpose</a></b><br>The use of silver for the bases shows God's provision and the purposeful design of His dwelling place, reminding us that God equips us for His purposes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_the_tabernacle.htm">Symbolism of the Tabernacle</a></b><br>The Tabernacle serves as a symbol of God's presence and holiness, encouraging us to live lives that reflect His holiness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_contribution.htm">Community Contribution</a></b><br>The construction of the Tabernacle was a communal effort, illustrating the importance of each member's contribution to the body of Christ.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/christ_as_the_fulfillment.htm">Christ as the Fulfillment</a></b><br>The Tabernacle points to Christ, who is the ultimate dwelling place of God among men, encouraging us to find our identity and purpose in Him.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_exodus_38.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 38</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/biblical_weights_and_measures.htm">What are the Biblical weights and measures?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_israelites_get_and_move_metals.htm">How could the Israelites realistically acquire and transport the vast amounts of gold, silver, and bronze mentioned in Exodus 38:24-31 while wandering in the desert?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_exodus_38_21-23_and_numbers_align.htm">How do the measurements and quantities listed in Exodus 38:21-23 harmonize with other parts of Exodus and Numbers that detail Israel's population and resources?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_the_damascus_altar_conflict_with_exodus.htm">Does the altar design brought from Damascus (2 Kings 16:10-11) conflict with earlier temple instructions in Exodus and Leviticus?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/38.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(27) <span class= "bld">The sockets of the sanctuary.</span>--On these, see <a href="/exodus/26-19.htm" title="And you shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.">Exodus 26:19</a>; <a href="/exodus/26-21.htm" title="And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.">Exodus 26:21</a>; <a href="/exodus/26-25.htm" title="And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.">Exodus 26:25</a>.
