[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 4534304, member: 75525"]Lots of good comments, thanks. I am aware that the Old Testament Shekel was a measure of weight. You can tell that by reading the two passages from Exodus below. The temple tax and measures of ingredients for anointing oil were both in shekels. I can not tell the weight in grams from Exodus. Exodus 30:13 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a [B]shekel[/B] after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD. 30:14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD. 30:23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred [B]shekels[/B], and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, 30:24 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: 30:25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.[/QUOTE]
