A few studies that I read suggested that the gold, silver, and
brass that was included in the construction of the tabernacle was a little over
8 TONS!
GOLD 29 talents 730 shekels = 1 1/4 tons
SILVER 100 talents 1,775 shekels = 4 1/4 tons
BRASS 70 talents 2,400 shekels = 4 tons
Imagine the manpower it would take to just haul that around.
24 people were assigned to carry the tabernacle utensils alone, with carts and oxen.
We will read more about the transportation of the tabernacle in Numbers.
