Subjects in this Topic:

( ëֶּñֶ , keseph, i.e. silver, as elsewhere rendered; Sept. óßêëïò ; Vulg. argenteus, i.e. siclus understood), a word used once only in the A.V. (Isa_7:23) to signify a piece of silver (q.v.). In this sense it exactly corresponds with the Greek ἀñãýñéïí , which was used, however, for the half shekel, or denarius.
