Gold and Silver and Bronze – 1
60) “This is the donation which you shall take from them: gold and silver and bronze.” This verse is to the upper side, the side of Kedusha, right, and to the lower side, to the other side, left, since the tabernacle was built from the left side first, and was then connected to the right. When the Creator created the world, He began to create from the side of silver, right, since silver is above gold, for silver is Hesed and right, and gold is Gevura and left. In the making of the tabernacle, Malchut, He began from the left, gold, and then from the right, silver, since the tabernacle is from the left. This is why here it begins from the left, from gold, and in the creation of the world, from the right.
