And he made the laver of brass, and the socket thereof of brass, with graceful images to adorn the entrance of the tabernacle of meeting. Washbasin arrangement. To the story 18th century. 30 ch. Regarding the construction of the laver, the present verse makes one important addition, noting that it was made from “mirrors of women’s gatherings” (bemarot gazzobot). According to the LXX translation (“from the mirrors of fasting women”). Philo, Josephus and the entire Jewish tradition mean by “bemarot” specifically women’s mirrors, suggesting that they were included in the washstand, without losing their appearance, and were soldered to it. According to Philo, the priests, washing their hands in the sink, looked into the mirror that was there. As for Russian reading, it arose due to the fact that the word “bemarot” is understood in the general meaning – “image, image”, and the expression “gazzobot” is derived from a root meaning “beauty, grace”. But what kind of images these were, the text does not explain with further words: “decorating the entrance of the tabernacle of meeting.” Perhaps these were images of cherubs. Exodus 38:9.

The amount of people's offerings. The talent was admittedly worth 3,000 shekels; therefore, 29 talents 730 shekels of gold (Ex. 38:24) would be 87,730 shekels of gold. Assuming that a shekel weighs a little over 3 spools, we get about 3,000 pounds of gold. The amount of silver collected was 100 talents and 1,775 shekels (Ex. 38:25), i.e. 301,775 shekels.
