* an hundred talents of silver.
   Estimating the shekel at 2s. 6d., and the talent, being 3,000
   shekels, (see Ex 38:25, 26,) at 375(9c2e), one hundred talents
   would amount to 37,500(9c2e); which, divided among 100,000; men,
   quotes only 7s. 6d.; hence we may suppose, that this was only
   an earnest of their pay, or that they expected to be enriched
   by the plunder of the Edomites.
