Hello George:

The points of the thread.

What was the weight of the shekel in the time of the biblical hebrew
language? 1/2 ounce?

Did the shekel weight of gold differ from the shekel weight of silver or
weight of other products at that time?

The noun מקום . Does it mean "standing place?" And in the context of this
verse, does it mean the real estate or land (aka acreage) surrounding the
threshing floor, or continue to mean just the threshing floor itself?

regards,

fred burlingame
