D. Material Used in the Tabernacle. Ex. 38:21-31.

   "The value of the silver contributed by 603,550 Israelites, at half a
      shekel per man, may be found by an easy arithmetical calculation
      to amount to 45,266 pounds and five shillings.
   The value of the brass at one shilling per pound will amount to 513
      pounds and 17 shillings.
   The gold of the holy place weighed 4,245 pounds.
   The silver of the tabernacle weighed 14,602 pounds.
   The brass 10,277 pounds troy weight.
   The total value of gold, silver and brass of the tabernacle will
      amount to 244,127 pounds, 14 shillings---The total weight---is
      nearly ten and a half tons." (Quotation taken from Adam Clark.)
   NOTE: In Ex. 36:5-7, the people had to be restrained from contributing
         that which was needed to build the Tabernacle. They brought more
         than enough and were told not to bring any more.
