1 tn Or “tokens of peace”; NIV, TEV “fellowship offerings.”
2 tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 9,000 pounds of gold (cf. NCV, NLT); CEV “five tons”; TEV “4,000 kilogrammes.”
3 tn Heb “there has not come like those spices yet for quantity which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.”
