It is often used in the context of wealth, trade, and offerings. Silver was a common medium of exchange and a symbol of prosperity and economic stability. In the Bible, it is frequently mentioned in the context of temple offerings, trade, and as a metaphor for purity and refinement.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, silver was a significant commodity and was used as currency long before the invention of coinage. It was often weighed and measured in shekels. Silver's value and beauty made it a symbol of wealth and status. It was used in various religious and cultural artifacts, including temple utensils and idols. The process of refining silver, which involves removing impurities, is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe spiritual purification.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
