Okay Hashem instructed Moshe if you want to find out how many Jews there are do not count them
for as each Jew is being counted sat on the evil angel points out his sins and the man's of
of me Hashem to punish the Jew for his sins. You so use a different method to find out the
number of Jews collect from each person a coin and then count the coins. Hashem told Moshe
to count the Jews before they began to build the Mishkan after the sin of the golden calf. Hashem
instructed Moshe let each Jewish man from the age of twenty and up pass before you and hand you
a silver coin weighing a half a shackle then count the half shackles of coins to know how many Jews
there are. Use the silver coins for the counting for the Mishkan melt them down and cast the
silver into a hundred. I've done them to hold the wooden beams and pillars of the Mishkan. Hashem
showed Moshe a half shackle of fire taken from under it is heavenly thrown and told them this is
the coin the bane Israel shall give for the counting. Later at the time of the Baith Ta'miq
dosh every Jew had to give one half shackle coin once a year to the treasures of the Baith Ta'miq dosh
these coins we use to buy animals for the kabuna tibua sacrifice the whole community
behind the best punishment.
Right.
