Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - The application of the "atonement money" is stated more distinctly in Exodus 38:27, 28. It was employed for the silver sockets that supported the boards of the tabernacle, and for the hooks, capitals, and connecting rods of the pillars which surrounded the court. Thus employed, it was a continual "memorial" in the eyes of the people, reminding each man of his privileges and duties

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Thou shalt . . . appoint it for the service of the tabernacle.--It appears, by Exodus 38:27-28, that the silver collected by this tax, which amounted to above a hundred talents, was employed for making the sockets which supported the boards of the tabernacle (Exodus 26:19-25), and those of the pillars of the vail (Exodus 26:32), together with the hooks for the pillars of the court, their capitals, and connecting rods. Thus, so long as the tabernacle stood, the precious metal paid as ransom remained in the sight of the people, and was a continual "memorial," or reminder, to them of the position into which they were brought by covenant with God.
