Parshas שקלים The סילוק  לפרשת שקלים* starts with "אז"- "then" when Hashem created the world ------------ראית,וספרתה,והכנת,וחקרת, ומדדת, ושקלת The קליר uses 39 different words describing all the actions Hashem did to create the world. The גאון מוילנא explains that the 39 words represent the 39 מלאכות that was done by Hashem to create the world. So too are the 39 מלאכות at the construction of the משכן which the Midrash compares to the creation of the world. Since כי בו שבת מכל מלאכתו  Hashem rested on Shabbos from the 39 מלאכות, so too the בני ישראל  must refrain from the 39 מלאכות on Shabbos. *The last Yotzer before the Shachris Kedusha (R. E. Hakalir)Parshas  שקלים ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The מדרש תנחומא writes משה רבינו complained to Hashem, How is it possible to count the בני ישראל? They are like  the dust of the earth/sand of the sea. Hashem told Moshe, all he has to do is add the גמטריא of the first letter of the שבטים (except לוי) and multiply them by a thousand. ראובן            200,000 שמעון            300,000              יהודה              10,000  יששכר             10,000 יוסף                10,000 נפתלי              50,000 זבולון                 7,000 דן                      4,000        גד                     3,000 בנימין                 2,000 אשר                   1,000 Total  597,000   = 600,000 minus 3,000 who were killed at the עגל By knowing this מדרש we will understand the יוצר לפרשת שקלים "פיוט "אמן בשמעו from the קליר which is based on this מדרש. By learning the פיוט you will have a better understanding in  the מדרש because, In the 6th stanza "יקר שלישי בתוכם לא הפקד" the קליר explains why the third son (לוי) is not included in the ראשי תיבות count. (The King's Legion needs a separate count)
