{{heb|התורה אסרה עלינו לספור את בני ישראל במיפקד ישיר.  זאת אומרת שאסור לספור אותם ישירות איש-איש; אלא חייבים לספור על-ידי חפץ. ובהמשך כתוב: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;זֶה יִתְּנוּ, כָּל-הָעֹבֵר עַל-הַפְּקֻדִים -- מַחֲצִית הַשֶּׁקֶל, בְּשֶׁקֶל הַקֹּדֶשׁ&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0230.htm#13|שם יג}}. הם נפקדים על ידי נתינת מחצית-שקל כל אחד, ולא על ידי ספירה ישירה.  השאלה הטבעית היא: מדוע הקפידה התורה על כך?}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{heb|אנשים נוהגים לספור את נכסיהם.  כמה מטבעות יש לי?  כמה צלחות, כמה ספרים?  ואין אדם מישראל נחשב &amp;quot;נכס&amp;quot; של הזולת, אלא &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;כִּי-לִי בְנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, עֲבָדִים -- עֲבָדַי הֵם&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0325.htm#55|ויקרא כה:נו}}.  כלומר שאין לאף אחד בעלות על זולתו, לכתחילה -- כי כולם עבדי ה&amp;#039; יתברך, ורק לו יש רשות למנות את נכסיו.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{heb|&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;הֶעָשִׁיר לֹא-יַרְבֶּה, וְהַדַּל לֹא יַמְעִיט, מִמַּחֲצִית, הַשָּׁקֶל&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0230.htm#15|שם טו}}.  הסכום הניתן אינו מראה על ערכו של הנמנה, אלא אות היא לזכור שהוא &amp;quot;עבר תחת השבט&amp;quot;.  אולי בא לרמוז שערכו שלאדם אינו כרוך ברוב נכסיו, אלא במהותו כבן אדם ובמעשיו הטובים. ועל כך נותן &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;כֹּפֶר נַפְשׁוֹ&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; -- שנפשו שלאדם הוא הנכס האמתי היחידי שלו, הדבר שהוא מעשיר בעולם הזה ע&amp;quot;י עשיית מצוות ה&amp;#039;, ושכרו טמון לו לעולם הבא.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{english}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{pasuq|When you take the sum of the children of Israel, according to their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when you number them; that there be no plague among them, when you number them|p/pt/pt0230.htm#12|Ex 30:12}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Torah forbade us counting the Children of Israel by means of a direct census.  That is to say, it is forbidden to count them one by one directly; rather they are to by counted by means of another object.  And in continuation it says: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;This they shall give, every one that passes among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0230.htm#13|ibid 13}}.  They are counted by their giving over a half-shekel each, but not by direct counting.  The natural question is: why is the Torah so strict about this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People tend to count their possessions. How many coins do I have?  How many plates, how many books?  But no Jew is considered a &amp;quot;possession&amp;quot; of his fellow, rather &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;For unto Me the children of Israel are servants; they are My servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0325.htm#55|Lev 25:55}}.  That is to say that nobody &amp;quot;owns&amp;quot; his fellow, initially -- because they are all servants of God, may He be blessed, and only He has permission to count His possessions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; {{hcite|p/pt/pt0230.htm#15|ibid 15}}.  The amount given is not a reflection of the worth of the one counted, but rather a sign to recall that he &amp;quot;passed under the staff&amp;quot;.  Perhaps it also hints that a person&amp;#039;s value is not contained in the abundance of his possessions, but rather in the sort of person he is, and in his good deeds.  And for that reason he gives &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;a ransom for his soul&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; -- because a person&amp;#039;s soul is his only true possession, that which he enriches in this world by fulfilling His commandments, and reaps the reward in the world to come.&lt;br /&gt;
