ExplanationCommentary
Verse 32. Bond man, and so forth of any of those uncircumcised nations, (Jonathan) whom it was lawful to put to death; and hence their life was esteemed of less value. Bible.—Sicles. Septuagint “didrachmas.” This was the price of a slave, for which our Saviour was sold: that of a free-man was double. Calmet.
A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces, so 30 shekels is about 300 grams or about 10.6 ounces.
