UTN uW Translation Notes:

לְ⁠אוֹצַ֣ר הַ⁠מְּלָאכָה֒

to,treasury the,work

The work means the project of rebuilding the temple. The treasury was where all of the money would be kept safely until it was needed. Alternate translation: “to the fund for rebuilding the temple”

gold darics six_of ten_thousands and,one_thousand

In ancient times, gold darics each weighed about 8 or 8.5 grams, or about a quarter of an ounce. You could try to express this in terms of modern money values, but if you did, that could cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. Instead, you might say something general like “61,000 gold coins,” or give the equivalent weight, or use the biblical term in the text and give the weight in a note.

Note 2 topic: translate-bmoney

וְ⁠כֶ֕סֶף מָנִ֖ים חֲמֵ֣שֶׁת אֲלָפִ֑ים

and,silver minas five thousand

In ancient times, silver minas each weighed about half a kilogram, or about 1.25 pounds. However, as in the case of darics, it would probably be best to say something general like “5,000 silver bars,” or give the equivalent weight, or use the biblical term and give the equivalent weight in a footnote.

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

וְ⁠כָתְנֹ֥ת כֹּהֲנִ֖ים מֵאָֽה

and,garments priests hundred

Tunics were the special garments that priests would wear while performing their duties in the temple. Alternate translation: “100 special garments for the priests to wear”
