It holds significant historical and theological importance, appearing in various contexts within the Scriptures. The term "shekel" is derived from the Hebrew word "שֶׁקֶל" (sheqel), which means "weight." Historical Context In the ancient Near East, the shekel was primarily a unit of weight used for trade and commerce. It was commonly used to measure precious metals such as gold, silver, and bronze. The weight of a shekel varied over time and by region, but it is generally estimated to be approximately 11.4 grams or 0.4 ounces. The shekel later evolved into a form of currency, particularly during the period of the united monarchy and the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Biblical References The shekel is mentioned numerous times throughout the Bible, often in the context of trade, offerings, and temple contributions. One of the earliest references is found in <a href="/genesis/23-15.htm">Genesis 23:15-16</a>, where Abraham purchases the cave of Machpelah as a burial site for Sarah: "Listen to me, my lord. The land is worth four hundred shekels of silver, but what is that between you and me? Bury your dead." Abraham agreed to Ephron’s terms and weighed out the silver to him. In the Mosaic Law, the shekel is used as a standard for various offerings and valuations. <a href="/exodus/30-13.htm">Exodus 30:13</a> specifies the use of the shekel in the census tax: "Each one who crosses over to those already counted is to give a half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the LORD." The shekel also appears in the context of temple contributions and religious obligations. In <a href="/2_kings/12-4.htm">2 Kings 12:4</a>, King Jehoash commands the priests to collect money, including shekels, for temple repairs: "Let every priest receive it from his constituency, and let it be used to repair any damage found in the temple." Theological Significance The use of shekels in the Bible underscores the importance of fair trade, justice, and integrity in economic transactions. The shekel's role in religious offerings highlights the principle of giving to God as an act of worship and obedience. The consistent use of a standardized weight and currency reflects the biblical emphasis on honesty and fairness, as seen in <a href="/leviticus/19-36.htm">Leviticus 19:36</a>: "You must maintain honest scales and weights, an honest ephah and an honest hin. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt." Cultural and Archaeological Insights Archaeological discoveries have unearthed various weights and coins inscribed with the term "shekel," providing insight into the economic practices of ancient Israel and its neighbors. These findings corroborate the biblical accounts and offer a tangible connection to the historical context of the Scriptures. In summary, the shekel serves as a vital element in understanding the economic, religious, and social fabric of biblical times. Its presence in Scripture provides a window into the daily life and spiritual practices of the ancient Israelites, reflecting broader themes of justice, worship, and covenantal faithfulness.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/5007.htm">5007. talanton -- a balance, hence that which is weighed, ie a ...</a> ... 5006, 5007. talanton. 5008 . a balance, hence that which is weighed, ie a talent (about 3000 shekels in weight).
