And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

All estimation shall be made according to the side of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.

And all thy valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

And let all your values be based on the shekel of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

All estimation shall be weighed according to the shekel of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.

Omnis autem aestimatio tua erit secundum siclum sanctuarii: viginti obolorum est siclus.

On the shekel and the gerah, see Exodus 30:13, note; Exodus 38:24, note.

Shekel of the sanctuary - A standard shekel; the standard being kept in the sanctuary to try and regulate all the weights in the land by. See Genesis 20:16; Genesis 23:15.

And all thy estimation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary,.... The shekel kept in the sanctuary, which was the standard of all shekels; not that there was a shekel in the sanctuary different from the common one; for every shekel ought to have been as that, of the full weight and worth of it; and the estimation was to be according to such a shekel, and the money paid in such, even in full weight:
twenty gerahs shall be the shekel; which the Targum of Jonathan calls "meahs" or "oboli", one of which was about three halfpence of our money, scarce so much, and weighed near eleven grains, as Bishop Cumberland (i) has calculated: see Ezekiel 45:12.
(i) Of Scripture Weights and Measures, ch. 4. p. 111.

All valuations were to be made according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

The shekel - About 2s. 6d.
