Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand four hundred shekels. Which, according to Paris weight, were 6177 pounds, ten ounces, two drachms, and sixty four grains w: this might be had from the neighbouring mountains of Arabia, where it is said x the metals of brass and iron were first dug.
w Vid. Scheuchzer, ut supra. (Physic. Sacr. vol. 2. p. 253.) x Aristeas de 72. interpret. p. 42. Vid. Hieron. de loc. Hebr. fol. 90. A.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
According to the estimate of the shekel that has here been adopted, the weight of the metals mentioned in this chapter would be nearly as follows, in avoirdupois weight:
| Gold | 1 ton | 4 cwt. | 2 qrs. | 13 lbs. |
| Silver | 4 tons | 4 cwt. | 2 qrs. | 20 lbs. |
| Bronze | 2 tons | 19 cwt. | 2 qrs. | 11 lbs. |
The value of the gold, if pure, in our money would be 175,075 British pounds, 13 shillings, and of the silver, 38,034 British pounds, 15 shillings 10d. These quantities of the precious metals come quite within the limits of probability, if we consider the condition of the Israelites when they left Egypt (see Exodus 25:3 note), and the object for which the collection was made. Many have remarked that the quantities collected for the tabernacle are insignificant when compared with the hoards of gold and silver collected in the East in recent times, as well as in ancient times.
