“The wealthy may not give more and the poor may not give less than half a shekel when giving the contribution to the Lord to atone for your lives.”
Exodus 30:15 CSB
This atonement ransom interestingly points to the gospel. The amount of the ransom is not correlated to how much they can afford, or their position or even reputation…they all needed the same ransom, just like we all need the same payment for our sins. Jesus is the only possible payment for the ransom we owe and God was pointing that out here, thousands of years before He even sent Jesus.
