"On
the day that the Mishkan was erected, on that very day the withdrawal
of half-shekel donations was made from the treasury to pay for the
communal offerings."
-- Talmud Bavli, Shekalim 2a
MISHKAN - This is the human body, about which it is said, "From my flesh I shall see God" (Job 19:26).
MISHKAN WAS ERECTED - This refers to Betzalel, about whom it is said, "Bezalel knew how to combine the letters by which the heavens and earth were created" (Berachot 55a).
THE WITHDRAWAL - These came from Salem. DONATIONS - These were brought to Zion. This is proved from "His Tabernacle was in Salem, and His dwelling place in Zion" (Psalms 76:3).
