Exodus 38 Scofield

38:1 And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.

“shittim”

i.e. acacia.

38:27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

“silver”

Silver thus receives its symbolic meaning--redemption. The sockets were made of the redemption money of the children of Israel. Cf. Ex 26:19; Ex 30:13–16; Num 3:44–51.

“sockets”

(See Scofield "Ex 26:19").
