Pikudai: PKD
Consider the concept evoked by the word. In the context of the Parsha, it seems to be an accounting. But what does the accounting mean? It means that valuable raw materials were converted to a more valuable finished product, the universally precious was turned into a unique, esoteric item
Previous uses of PKD begin with Sarah. Her beautiful qualities ( cooperation in Egypt and Philistia, expulsion of the pregnant maidservant) were rewarded with a son who would be the heir.
Joseph used PKD as the code word of hope for the people. Gd would make an accounting an free the Hebrew slaves someday.
Moses identified himself with the code word.
Ishmael sailed with captain Ahab on the Piquod.
Go figure... that's what PKD means!
