Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

two-thirds_of_a_shekel
A pim was a weight of silver equivalent to about eight 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try to express this in terms of modern money values, but if you did, that could cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time.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 could either give the equivalent weight or use the biblical term in the text and explain the weight in a note.

and,for,one-third forks
A three-fork was a tool with three pointed prongs, similar to what the author calls “a fork with three prongs” in [2:13](../02/13.md). See how you translated the name of this tool there. Here the author is using a compound noun form. You may be able to describe this tool with a similar form in your language. Alternate translation: [and for a trident] or [and for a three-pronged fork]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

the,goads
The author is not referring to a specific goad (a pointed stick used to guide cattle). He means such tools in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [goads]
