¹⁶ “If a person consecrates to the Lord any inherited landholding, its assessment shall be in accordance with its seed requirements: fifty shekels of silver to a homer of barley seed.

³⁴ There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold.^{(A) 35} They laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.^{(B) 36} There was a Levite from Cyprus, Joseph, to whom the apostles gave the name Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”). ³⁷ He sold a field that belonged to him, then brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.^(C)

² So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer of barley and a measure of wine.^[a](A)

¹¹ The ephah and the bath shall be of the same measure, the bath containing one-tenth of a homer and the ephah one-tenth of a homer; the homer shall be the standard measure. ¹² The shekel shall be twenty gerahs. Twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, and fifteen shekels shall make a mina for you.^(A)

Offerings
