The weight of each silver bowl was 130 shekels, and that of each basin was 70 shekels; all the silver of the silver vessels weighed in total 2,400 shekels according to the value of the sacred shekel.
Numbers 7:85
The first day of the month of Nissan in the year 2449 from creation, was the the first day that the Mishkan (Tabernacle) began functioning officially, The tribal princes offered up a series of special sacrifices designed to "inaugurate" the Altar, i.e., to enable it to elevate physical reality to its Divine source.
After concluding the account of each prince's offerings, the Torah summarizes all the princes' offerings, giving the grand totals of each component.
Even though the Torah is here giving the total of all the princes' offerings together, it nonetheless repeats the unit weight of a single bowl, basin, and spoon. It does this in order to teach us that by joining together to form a collective totality, the unique, individual aspects of the princes' offerings were also enhanced. Becoming partner of the greater whole did not undermine their individuality; it enriched it.
Similarly, our individual goals and lives are enhanced by becoming part of the greater, collective purpose of humanity. By playing our parts in the collective effort to make the world into G-d's home, our individual roles in this process becomes consummately significant.
