Exodus 26:15-25 - "You are to make the frames for the tabernacle out of acacia wood as uprights. Each frame is to be fifteen feet long, and each frame is to be two feet three inches wide, with two projections per frame parallel one to another. You are to make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. So you are to make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side, and you are to make forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames—two bases under the first frame for its two projections, and likewise two bases under the next frame for its two projections; and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, twenty frames, and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first frame, and two bases under the next frame. And for the back of the tabernacle on the west you will make six frames. You are to make two frames for the corners of the tabernacle on the back. At the two corners they must be doubled at the lower end and finished together at the top in one ring. So it will be for both. So there are to be eight frames and their silver bases, sixteen bases, two bases under the first frame, and two bases under the next frame." (NET Bible)
Exodus 30:11-16 - "The Lord spoke to Moses: 'When you take a census of the Israelites according to their number, then each man is to pay a ransom for his life to the Lord when you number them, so that there will be no plague among them when you number them. Everyone who crosses over to those who are numbered is to pay this: a half shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel weighs twenty gerahs). The half shekel is to be an offering to the Lord. Everyone who crosses over to those numbered, from twenty years old and up, is to pay an offering to the Lord. The rich are not to increase it, and the poor are not to pay less than the half shekel when giving the offering of the Lord, to make atonement for your lives. You are to receive the atonement money from the Israelites and give it for the service of the tent of meeting. It will be a memorial for the Israelites before the Lord, to make atonement for your lives.'" (NET Bible)
