silver in Genesis 23
SIL-ver
This thing shows up in Genesis 23:15: ““My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 23:15
““My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.””
