“Take the finest spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half that amount (250 shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of fragrant cane,

Note 500 shekels is approximately 12.6 pounds or 5.7 kilograms of myrrh.

Note 250 shekels is approximately 6.3 pounds or 2.9 kilograms of cinnamon.

Note 250 shekels is approximately 6.3 pounds or 2.9 kilograms of cane.

Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,

“Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;
