Ezr_8:27 Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.
Ver. 27. Of a thousand drachms] 312 pounds 10 shillings. The Hebrew (or rather Chaldee) word here rendered a drachm seems to be taken from the Greek word Dñá÷ìç .
And two vessels of fine copper] Ex orichalco praestante, Of some choice mixed metal, Auro contra non caro. Overlaid with gold without no dross.
