BrLXXΚαὶ ἦν ὁ τρυγητὸς ἕτοιμος τοῦ θερίζειν· τὰ δὲ σκεύη ἦν τρεῖς σίκλοι εἰς τὸν ὀδόντα, καὶ τῇ ἀξίνῃ καὶ τῷ δρεπάνῳ ὑπόστασις ἦν ἡ αὐτή.

BrTrAnd it was near the time of vintage: and their tools were valued at three shekels for a [fn]ploughshare, and there was the same rate for the axe and the sickle.


13:21 Gr. Such is the meaning of ὀδοὺς according to the old interpretors.

ULTAnd the charge was a pim for the plowshares and for the mattocks and for three picks and for the axes and for straightening the goads.

USTThey needed to pay about eight grams of silver for the sharpening of their plow blades and their picks. They needed to pay about four grams of silver for the sharpening of their axes or sickles, or to straighten the goads used to drive the oxen.

BSBThe charge was a pim [fn] for sharpening a plowshare or mattock, a third of a shekel for sharpening a pitchfork or an axe, and a third of a shekel for repointing an oxgoad.[fn]


13:21 A pim possibly refers to a polished stone weighing approximately 0.25 ounces or 7 grams found in excavations. This is equivalent to about two-thirds of a shekel and likely refers to the price charged by the Philistines for the services listed.

13:21 Hebrew does not include the currency unit of a shekel charged for sharpening a pitchfork, an axe, or an oxgoad; alternatively, possibly a third of a pim for each.


OEBThe charge was two thirds of a shekel for ploughshares and mattocks, and one third of a shekel for sharpening the axes and setting the ox goads.

WEBBEThe price was one payim[fn] each to sharpen mattocks, ploughshares, pitchforks, axes, and goads.


13:21 A payim (or pim) was 2/3 shekel of silver, or 0.26 ounces, or 7.6 grams

WMBB (Same as above including footnotes)

NETThey charged two-thirds of a shekel to sharpen plowshares and cutting instruments, and a third of a shekel to sharpen picks and axes, and to set ox goads.

LSVand there has been the file for mattocks, and for coulters, and for three-pronged rakes, and for the axes, and to set up the goads.

FBVThe fee was two-thirds of a shekel[fn] for plowshares and pickaxes, and a third of a shekel for sharpening the axes and cattle prods.


13:21 “Two-thirds of a shekel”: literally “one pim.”

T4TThey needed to pay one fourth of an ounce/8 grams► of silver for sharpening a plow, and an eighth of an ounce/4 grams► of silver to sharpen an axe, or a sickle, or an ox goad/a pointed rod to jab an ox to make it walk►.

LEBThe charge[fn] was two-thirds of a shekel[fn] for the plowshare and for the mattock, and a third of a shekel for the pick[fn] and for the axe, and to set the goading sticks.


13:21 Or “fee”

13:21 Literally “a pim” (possibly a stone weight used as a measure)

13:21 Literally “and for three, a pick” (uncertain; perhaps meaning “a third of a shekel,” or a three-pronged pick”

BBEFor they had instruments for putting an edge on their ploughs and blades and forks and axes, and for putting iron points on their ox-driving rods.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

13:19-22 no blacksmiths: The Philistines kept the Israelites unarmed by gaining a monopoly on the iron necessary to make weapons. Iron technology had not existed long in Canaan; it might have developed in the Aegean area, and metalworking skills were possibly introduced into Canaan through seafaring peoples, including the Philistines.
