$103.6914 or $103.70.

You have to decide whether you're asking about the weight of 400 shekels at today's worth (4.4 kilo silver at today's price) or its ancient purchasing power, which was quite different. A single silver shekel was enough to support a small family for about one week, so 400 shekels could feed them for about eight years.

Converting from the ancient weight for silver spot (today when I'm answer this) 11-14-2020, I get about $4000.  But likely, silver was even more valuable at that time.
