And gave for the service of the house of God
For building and adorning it, and providing proper utensils for it:

of gold five thousand talents;
which, according to Scheuchzer F12, came to 61,100,000 ducats of gold: and these, with "the 10,000 drachms"; make of our money, according to Brerewood F13, 22,507,500 pounds; some reckon a drachm at two ducats and a half, and somewhat more F14:

and of silver ten thousand talents;
which, according to the former writer, amounted to 450,000,000 imperials, or rix dollars; and, according to the latter, they made of our money 3,750,000 pounds:

and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand

1 Crónicas 29:7 In-Context

5 y oro para las cosas de oro, y plata para las cosas de plata, y para toda la obra de manos de los oficiales. ¿Y quién quiere consagrar hoy ofrenda al SEÑOR?
6 Entonces los príncipes de las familias, y los príncipes de las tribus de Israel, tribunos y centuriones, con los príncipes que tenían a cargo la obra del rey, ofrecieron de su voluntad;
7 y dieron para el servicio de la Casa de Dios cinco mil talentos de oro y diez mil sueldos, y diez mil talentos de plata, y dieciocho mil talentos de bronce, y cinco mil talentos de hierro.
8 Y cado uno dio las piedras preciosas con que se halló para el tesoro de la casa del SEÑOR, en mano de Jehiel gersonita.
9 Y se alegró el pueblo de haber contribuido de su voluntad; porque con entero corazón ofrecieron voluntariamente al SEÑOR.
