A coat of scales was a type of armor made of overlapping metal plates sewn onto a leather garment. If your readers would not be familiar with what this is, in your translation you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [with armor made of metal plates]

These shekels each weighed about 11 grams or about a third of an ounce. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this in terms of modern measurements, either in the text or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [And the coat was made of bronze, and it weighed over 50 kilograms] or [And the coat was made of bronze, and it weighed 125 pounds]
