פרשת תרומה
Parshas Terumah
ויקחו לי תרומה (תרומה כה:ב)
And let them take for me a donation.Why does it say the word – “ויקחו” – you shall take a donation – one gives a donation, which translates: “ויתנו” – And let them give me a donation. The Alshich HaKodosh zt”l resolves this dilemma as follows: When a woman gives a coin to her husband, who is a dignified person, the fact that he accepted her present is as if he has given her a gift. With this, we can answer our question: the pasuk uses the word “ויקחו“since Hashem agreed to receive donations from the Jewish people to build the Mishkan (Tabernacle) – even after they sinned with the golden calf – this is considered as if He gave them a precious gift.
