The first usage of money in The Bible is when Abraham buys a burial plot for Sarah from the Hittites for 400 shekels of silver (Genesis 23). The second usage is when Joseph is sold by his brothers to the Ishmaelites for 20 pieces of silver (Genesis 37:28). How much do you think these amounts would be worth in modern currency?
