Variantly: One verse states "of one of your tribes," and another, "of all your tribes." The money (paid for the site) from all of the tribes, and the place, from one tribe (Benjamin). And thus is it written (II Samuel 24:24) "And David bought the threshing floor and the cattle for fifty silver shekels." And another verse states (I chronicles 21:25) "And David gave to Ornon for the place gold shekels weighing six hundred." How can these two verses be reconciled? There were twelve tribes. He took fifty shekels from each tribe, six hundred shekels in all. Variantly: "of one of your tribes" — (the sanctuary of Shiloh); "of all of your tribes" — (the Temple of) Jerusalem.
