24All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

25And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

26A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

Exodus 38:24-26

Biblical Context

Exodus 38:24-26 records the gold and silver offerings given to fund the sacred tabernacle and the half-shekel census tax for those numbered. It highlights that the community's material contributions were intended to support the holy work.

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 38:24-26 becomes a living image in Neville's mood: wealth is a state of consciousness you place at the service of the inner sanctuary. The gold and silver are not metal but inner assets you willingly invest in the temple you carry as I AM. The census count and the half-shekel tax mark your disciplined attention—each state of mind you approve to fund the sanctuary. When you imagine the temple standing now and accept that you fund it with inner wealth, lack falls away and abundance arises as your present reality. The work of the sanctuary is the alignment of your life with your highest idea, a construction of consciousness performed by assumption and feeling. Your offerings are a revision of belief, turning scarcity into fullness, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume you are the inner treasury, and quietly declare I am abundance funding the temple within; feel that wealth as present now.
