Commentary on Exodus 30:16

Theological / Devotional

A memorial. For the disposition of the “atonement money,” see ch. 38:25-28. Becoming a permanent part of the sanctuary, it was a continual “memorial” to remind the people of their spiritual privileges and responsibilities.

For your souls. Preferably, “for yourselves” (RSV; see on v. 12).
