Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁹ And a number of the ones who had practiced kishshuf (magic, sorcery) brought together their occult sfarim and were burning them publicly; and they added up the price of these occult sfarim, and they found it to be fifty thousand silver pieces.

²⁰ So the dvar Hashem, the Besuras HaGeulah, was growing with ko’ach and was prevailing.

²¹ And when these things were fulfilled, Rav Sha’ul resolved in his ruach to travel through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Yerushalayim, saying "After I have gone there, it is necessary for me also to see Rome."
