Kejadian 24:22
Konteks24:22 After the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka 1 and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels 2 and gave them to her. 3
Keluaran 32:3
Konteks32:3 So all 4 the people broke off the gold earrings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.


[24:22] 1 sn A beka weighed about 5-6 grams (0.2 ounce).
[24:22] 2 sn A shekel weighed about 11.5 grams (0.4 ounce) although weights varied locally, so these bracelets weighed about 4 ounces (115 grams).
[24:22] 3 tn The words “and gave them to her” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.
[32:3] 4 tn This “all” is a natural hyperbole in the narrative, for it means the large majority of the people.
