וְכֶסֶף פְּקוּדֵי הָעֵדָה מְאַת כִּכָּר וְאֶלֶף וּשְׁבַע מֵאוֹת וַחֲמִשָּׁה וְשִׁבְעִים שֶׁקֶל בְּשֶׁקֶל הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃

The silver (collected) by the community census (amounted to) one hundred kikar, and one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekel, (measured) by the Sanctuary standard,

Rashi
בקע. הוא שם משקל של מחצית השקל:
Beka. This is the name of the weight of one half of a shekel.
לשש מאות אלף וגו'. כך היו ישראל, וכך עלה מנינם אחר שהוקם המשכן בספר במדבר, ואף עתה בנדבת המשכן כך היו, ומנין חצאי השקלים של שש מאות אלף, עולה מאת ככר כל אחד של שלשת אלפים שקלים, כיצד, שש מאות אלף חצאין הרי הן ג' מאות, אלף שלימים, הרי מאת ככר, והשלשת אלפים וחמש מאות וחמשים חצאין, עולין אלף ושבע מאות וחמשה ושבעים שקלים:
For six hundred (and three) thousand, etc. This was the count of the Israelites and this, too, was what their number amounted to after the mishkon was erected [when they were counted again] in seifer Bamidbar. Now, too, at the time of the contributions to the mishkon they were that many. The amount of half-shekalim for 600,000 totalled 100 kikar, where each kikar is 3,000 shekalim. How is this calculated? 600,000 half-shekels, which equal 300,000 whole shekalim giving you 100 kikar (100 x 3,000 = 300,000). The remaining 3,550 half-shekalim total 1,775 whole shekalim.
וַיְהִי מְאַת כִּכַּר הַכֶּסֶף לָצֶקֶת אֵת אַדְנֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְאֵת אַדְנֵי הַפָּרֹכֶת מְאַת אֲדָנִים לִמְאַת הַכִּכָּר כִּכָּר לָאָֽדֶן׃
One hundred kikar of this silver was (used) to cast the sockets for the mishkon and the sockets for the paroches (partition). One hundred sockets (were cast) from one hundred kikar, one kikar for each socket.
One hundred kikar of this silver was (used) to cast the sockets for the mishkon and the sockets for the paroches (partition). One hundred sockets (were cast) from one hundred kikar, one kikar for each socket.
Rashi
לצקת. כתרגומו לְאַתָּכָא:
To cast. [לָצֶקֶת is] as Onkelos translates it: “to cast.”
את אדני הקדש. של קרשי המשכן, שהם מ"ח קרשים, ולהן צ"ו אדנים, ואדני פרכת ארבעה, הרי מאה, וכל שאר האדנים נחשת כתיב בהם:
The sockets for the Sanctuary. — for the planks of the mishkon, which totalled 48 planks for which there were 96 sockets, plus the 4 sockets for the curtain giving you a total of 100 [gold sockets]. As for the remaining sockets the Torah records them as “copper.”
וְאֶת־הָאֶלֶף וּשְׁבַע הַמֵּאוֹת וַחֲמִשָּׁה וְשִׁבְעִים עָשָׂה וָוִים לָעַמּוּדִים וְצִפָּה רָאשֵׁיהֶם וְחִשַּׁק אֹתָֽם׃
Of the (remaining) one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five (shekel) he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their caps and made bands for them.
Of the (remaining) one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five (shekel) he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their caps and made bands for them.
Rashi
וצפה ראשיהם. של עמודים מהן, שבכולן כתיב וצפה ראשיהם וחשוקיהם כסף:
(He) overlaid their caps — of the pillars with them (the 1775 shekalim), for regarding all of them (the pillars) it is written: “And their caps and bands were overlaid with silver.”
וּנְחֹשֶׁת הַתְּנוּפָה שִׁבְעִים כִּכָּר וְאַלְפַּיִם וְאַרְבַּע־מֵאוֹת שָֽׁקֶל׃
The copper (donated as) a wave offering (amounted to) seventy kikar, and two thousand four hundred shekel,
The copper (donated as) a wave offering (amounted to) seventy kikar, and two thousand four hundred shekel,
וַיַּעַשׂ בָּהּ אֶת־אַדְנֵי פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וְאֵת מִזְבַּח הַנְּחֹשֶׁת וְאֶת־מִכְבַּר הַנְּחֹשֶׁת אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ וְאֵת כׇּל־כְּלֵי הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃
from which he made sockets for the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, the copper altar with its copper grate, all the altar’s vessels,

וְאֶת־אַדְנֵי הֶֽחָצֵר סָבִיב וְאֶת־אַדְנֵי שַׁעַר הֶחָצֵר וְאֵת כׇּל־יִתְדֹת הַמִּשְׁכָּן וְאֶת־כׇּל־יִתְדֹת הֶחָצֵר סָבִֽיב׃
the sockets around the enclosure, the sockets for the entrance of the enclosure, all the stakes for the mishkon, and all the stakes around the enclosure.

וּמִן־הַתְּכֵלֶת וְהָֽאַרְגָּמָן וְתוֹלַעַת הַשָּׁנִי עָשׂוּ בִגְדֵי־שְׂרָד לְשָׁרֵת בַּקֹּדֶשׁ וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ אֶת־בִּגְדֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר לְאַהֲרֹן כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃ {פ}
From the greenish-blue wool, dark red wool, and crimson wool, they made garments of distinction for service in the Sanctuary, and they made sacred garments for Aharon, just as Adonoy commanded Moshe.

Rashi
ומן התכלת והארגמן וגו'. שש לא נאמר כאן, ומכאן אני אומר שאין בגדי שרד הללו בגדי כהונה, שבבגדי כהונה היה שש, אלא הם בגדים שמכסים בהם כלי הקדש בשעת סלוק מסעות, שלא היה בהם שש:
From the greenish-blue wool, dark red wool, etc. Linen is not mentioned here. And it is from here that I derive that these בִּגְדֵי שְׂרָד are not the priestly garments for the priestly garments did contain linen. But, rather, they are “garments” with which the vessels of the Sanctuary were covered when it was disassembled for travelling, which contained no linen.
ככר. ששים מנה, ומנה של קדש כפול היה, הרי הככר ק"כ מנה, והמנה כ"ה סלעים, הרי ככר של קדש שלשת אלפים שקלים, לפיכך מנה בִּפְרוֹטְרוֹט כל השקלים שפחותין במנינם מג' אלפים, שאין מגיעין לככר:
Kikar. A kikar is the equivalent of 60 maneh and the maneh associated with the Sanctuary was double [the weight of a common maneh] making the kikar equal to 120 [common] maneh, A maneh is equal to 25 selaim (shekalim), making the kikar of the Sanctuary 3,000 shekalim (25 x 120 = 3,000). It is for this reason that it counts as units all the shekalim that add up to less than 3,000, because they do not add up to a kikar.
