24:22 After the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka 1 and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels 2 and gave them to her. 3
1 sn A beka weighed about 5-6 grams (0.2 ounce).
2 sn A shekel weighed about 11.5 grams (0.4 ounce) although weights varied locally, so these bracelets weighed about 4 ounces (115 grams).
3 tn The words “and gave them to her” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.
4 tn Heb “whom Milcah bore to him.” The referent (Nahor) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Heb “the servant”; the noun has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
