SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:72
Y lo que dio el resto del pueblo fue veinte mil dracmas de oro, y dos mil libras de plata, y sesenta y siete vestiduras sacerdotales.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 72. And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drachms of gold , etc.] Worth as many pounds of our money, and somewhat more: and two thousand pound of silver ; of which (see Gill on “ Nehemiah 7:71”): and threescore and seven priests’ garments ; having been so long in Babylon, and no use of sacrifices, and so not of garments to minister in, no care was taken to provide any; which seems to be the reason why so many were given, when they returned to their own land, and sacrificed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-73 - Nehemiah knew that the safety of a city, under God, depends more upo the inhabitants than upon its walls. Every good gift and every goo work are from above. God gives knowledge, he gives grace; all is of him, and therefore all must be to him. What is done by human prudence must be ascribed to the direction of Divine Providence. But woe to those who turn back from the Lord, loving this present world! and happ those who dedicate themselves, and their substance, to his service an glory __________________________________________________________________
