We have explained in our article Biblical Formatting located on the world wide web at http://www.Rashiyomi.com/biblicalformatting.pdf, that the Biblical Author indicates bold, underline, italics by using repetition. Hence we would translate Ex38-21b using underlines as follows: This is the accounting of the items of the Temple, of the Temple of Testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest. Rashi comments on the bolded repeated of the Temple: The emphasis indicated by the underline phrase of the Temple implies that the measurements of the utensils of the desert Temple utensils apply to all future Temples, such as the Temples of Solomon and Ezra.

Sermonic points: It is well known from all the arts that numbers carry symbolic significance. By making the measurements of the Temple utensils eternal God indicates that their symbolism is independent of time. From time to time in this list we explain the symbols of various desert Temple items. Rashi assures us that these symbolisms are eternal. Those who wish the symbolic interpretation of the Temple symbols should read the Commentary of Samson Raphael Hirsch.
