Silver (Redemption)

Silver came to 9,600 lbs. Throught the Scriptures, silver symbolizes redemption. It was always used as redemption money:

Ex 30:16 "And you shall take the redemption money of the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD, to make atonement for yourselves."

It prefigures the preciousness of Christ as the ransom for sinners.
