The Tabernacle, Measured and Portable
Exodus 38 gives the metal by weight, to the shekel. Exodus 26 gives every dimension. Numbers 7 gives the carts. The three together make a transport problem with almost no free parameters — and one that dominates everything.
Reference: Exodus 26 · Exodus 36 · Exodus 38:24–31 · Numbers 7:1–9
An internal check worth watching. The census gives 603,550 men at a half-shekel poll. That is 301,775 shekels, and the stated silver is 100 talents and 1,775 shekels — which at 3,000 shekels to the talent is exactly 301,775. The two figures come from different chapters and they agree to the shekel.
