Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation,.... This was not the offering of silver, Exo 35:24 but what was collected in numbering the people, where everyone
of twenty years old and upwards paid half a shekel, Exo 30:12 the sum was an hundred talents, one thousand seven hundred and threescore fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; which, according to Brerewood (q), make of our money, 37,721 pounds, seventeen shillings, and six pence; according to Waserus (r), the whole amounted to 150,887 dollars and a half: and so, according to Lundius (s), the sum is so many imperials, and forty five creutzers or cross pennies.
