16. Abraham weighed . . . the silver —The money, amounting to £50 was paid in presence of the assembled witnesses; and it was weighed. The practice of weighing money, which is often in lumps or rings, each stamped with their weight, is still common in many parts of the East; and every merchant at the gates or the bazaar has his scales at his girdle. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-19" class="com-number"
