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 Nombré doce jefes de los sacerdotes —Serebías, Hasabías y otros diez sacerdotes—
25 para que se encargaran de transportar la plata, el oro, los recipientes de oro y los demás artículos que el rey, sus consejeros y funcionarios, y todo el pueblo de Israel había presentado para el templo de Dios.
26 Pesé el tesoro mientras se lo entregaba a ellos y el total sumaba lo siguiente:
22 toneladas
de plata,
3400 kilos
de objetos de plata,
3400 kilos de oro,
27 20 recipientes de oro (equivalentes al valor de 1000 monedas de oro),
2 objetos finos de bronce pulido (tan valiosos como el oro).
28 Luego les dije a los sacerdotes: «Ustedes y esos tesoros son santos, separados al Señor
. La plata y el oro son una ofrenda voluntaria para el Señor
, Dios de nuestros antepasados.
