Footnotes

  1. 47 Heb “went.”
  2. 48 The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 31,500 pounds of gold (cf. ); , “sixteen tons”; “more than 14,000 kilogrammes.”
