Geneva Bible - And when the camels had left drinking, the man took a golden (*) (k) habiliment of (l) half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands, of ten shekels weight of gold;
(*) Or, earring.
(k) God permitted many things both in apparel and other things which are now forbidden specially
when they appertain not to our mortification.
(l) The golden shekel is here meant and not that of silver.
