NET Notes

¹tn The verb again is the perfect tense in sequence; the meaning of “take” may be interpreted here with the sense of “collect.”

²tn The idea is expressed simply by repetition: “take five, five, shekels according to the skull.” They were to collect five shekels for each individual.

³tn The verb form now is the imperfect of instruction or legislation.

⁴tn Heb “them,” referring to the five shekels.

⁵sn The sanctuary shekel was first mentioned in Exod 30:13. The half-shekel of Exod 38:26 would then be 10 gerahs. Consequently, the calculations would indicate that five shekels was about two ounces of silver for each person. See R. B. Y. Scott, “Weights and Measures of the Bible,” BA 22 (1951): 22-40, and “The Scale-Weights from Ophel, 1963-1964,” PEQ 97 (1965): 128-39.
