We base ourinterpretation upon the supposition, already sufficiently establishedby _J. D. Michaelis_, that the whole purchase-money amounted to thirtyshekels, of which the prophet paid one-half in money, and the otherhalf in the value of money. According to Ezek. Xlv. 11, the homercontained ten ephahs, and a lethech was the half of an homer. We havethus fifteen pieces of silver, and also fifteen ephahs; and thesupposition is very probable that, at that time, an ephah of barleycost a shekel, --t...he more so, as according to 2 Kings vii. 1, 16, 18, in the time of a declining famine, and only relative cheapness, two-thirds of an ephah of barley cost a shekel. We are unable [Pg 196]to say with certainty, why one-half was paid in money, and the otherhalf in natural productions; but a reason certainly exists, as no otherfeature is without significance. Perhaps it was determined by custom, that the sum by which servants were purchased was paid after thismanner. The lowness of their condition was thereby indicated; forbarley, _vile hordeum_, was, in all antiquity, very little esteemed.
