The value of 5000 shekels of brass would depend on the current market price of brass per shekel. You would need to multiply the number of shekels by the per-shekel price of brass to determine the total value.

How much is 1100 shekels of silver in the old testament?

According to Judges 17:10, ten shekels was a decent day's wage. So 1100 shekels would have been 110 day's worth of pay. It was about 28 pounds of silver, which today would only bring about $12,544.


How much is seventeen silver shekels in the old testament?

In the Old Testament, seventeen silver shekels would be equivalent to a certain weight of silver, rather than a specific monetary value. The value of silver can fluctuate based on market conditions, so it is not possible to determine an exact amount without more information.


Why were the children of Israel defeated by men of Ai?

The Children of Israel were defeated because Achan did not obey God's command to not covet or to take things that were consecrated to God for himself: Joshua 6: 18-19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD. . In Joshua 7, Achan confesses to his sin: 20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: 21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.


How much did Goliath's spear weigh?

The weight of his spear wasn't given, the weight of the spear head was. That weight was 600 shekels, a shekel is .4 ounces. If my math is correct that means the head weighed 240 ounces, which is 15 pounds. A very big spear head! The shaft was the "size of a weaver's beam" which is about 2-3" around and about 6-8' long. A very big spear. Considering Goliath was 9' 9" tall, he was big enough to handle it.
