Esdras 8:26 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 8:26

I even weighed unto their hand six hundred fifty talents of
silver
Which, according to Scheuchzer F1 amount to 975,000 imperials, and, of our money, 2,229,450 pounds sterling: and silver vessels one hundred talents; which came to 35,300 pounds, or 50,000 imperials; according to Jarchi, there were one hundred vessels, and every vessel weighed a talent, and so Aben Ezra, which, with Brerewood {b}, was three hundred and seventy five pounds:

and of gold one hundred talents;
which, according to Scheuchzer F3, were equal to 1,222,000 ducats of gold; the value of gold now is above 14 and a 3d to the value of silver, by which may be judged the difference between one hundred talents of gold and one hundred talents of silver; according to David de Pomis F4, there were two sorts of talents; common talents, which weighed sixty pounds, and the talent of the sanctuary, which weighed double to that.

Esdras 8:26 In-Context

24 Então separei doze dos principais dentre os sacerdotes: Serebias e Hasabias, e com eles dez dos seus irmãos;
25 e pesei-lhes a prata, o ouro e os vasos, a oferta para a casa do nosso Deus, que o rei, os seus conselheiros, os seus príncipes e todo o Israel que estava ali haviam oferecido;
26 entreguei-lhes nas mãos seiscentos e cinqüenta talentos de prata, e em vasos de prata cem talentos; e cem talentos de ouro;
27 e vinte taças de ouro no valor de mil dáricos, e dois vasos de bronze claro e brilhante, tão precioso como o ouro.
28 E disse-lhes: Vós sois santos ao Senhor, e santos são estes vasos; como também esta prata e este ouro são ofertas voluntárias, oferecidas ao Senhor, Deus de vossos pais.
