N.B.-The above Table will explain many texts in the Bible, especially those which are placed within brackets. They also make the following, from Isa. v. 10, much more clear :

"Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah."

The curse upon the covetous man was, that 10 acres of vines should produce only 7 gallons of wine-i.e., 1 acre should yield less than 3 quarts, and that 32 pecks of seed should only bring a crop of 3 pecks, or in other words, nine-tenths of the seed sown should die in the ground, and so produce nothing, only one-tenth sprouting up into plants.

N.B.-A Shekel would probably purchase nearly ten times as much as the same nominal amount will now buy.

NOTES. From these tables we learn the following lessons:Naaman offered Elisha 6000 pieces (shekels) of gold, i.e., more than £10,000.

The debtor had been forgiven 10,000 talents, i.e. £3,000,000.

He refused to forgive his fellow-servant 100 pence, i.e. £3, 2s. 6d.
Judas sold our Lord for 30 pieces of silver, i.e. £3, 10s. Sd, the
legal compensation for a slave, if killed by a beast.
Joseph was sold by his brethren for £2, 7s. Od.

TIME.

The natural DAY was from sunrise to sunset.
The NIGHT was from sunset to sunrise.

But the civil day was from sunset one evening to sunset the next,-"for the evening and the morning were the first day."

N.B.-Our Lord's words predicting his resurrection are the usual expressions for the civil, not the natural day. Thus, three "days and nights" is in the Greek all one word, which would be more correctly translated three "civil days," implying that the intervening nights were included, and that He did not mean that He should be in the grave by day and not by night.
