CHAPTER XVII.-MONIES, WEIGHTS, AND MEASURES OF THE SCRIPTURES.

THE several monies, weights, and measures mentioned by the sacred writers, were not all of Hebrew origin. Some of them were Greek, and others Roman, as these people in succession conquered the east; for with their government they introduced their coins and methods of policy. There is considerable difficulty in making accurate calculations respecting both coins and measures; and learned men differ in several particulars relating to them. The following tables have been prepared from the most judicious writers on the subject.

1. Mite, Mark xii. 42., it weighed half a barley-corn, and was in value about of a farthing English

2. Farthing, or quadrans, two mites, or about of our farthing

3. Assyrium, or ass, Matt. x. 29., the tenth part of a Roman penny, or about three farthings English
