Of a Sicle.

A Sicle was a kind of weight currant among the Iewes, con∣taining precisely halfe an ounce of siluer or gold, which that it might be distinguished, had a particular effigies or super∣scription; viz. vpon one side was to be seene the measure wherein they kept Manna in the Sanctuarie, with this superscription, The Sicle of Israel: and on the other the rod of Aaron flourishing, with

this inscription, Holy Ierusalem, which is ordinarily worth in Eng∣lish mony 2 s. 6 d. and in gold 15 s. and more or lesse according to the purenesse or basenesse of either.

A sicle was diui∣ded into these parts

• Into a Drachma, i. 7 d. ob. whereof 4 make a sicle, Gen. 13.15. Exod. 21.32, &c.
• Halfe sicles, mentioned Exod. 30.13.15. ca. 38.26. which was the yearely tax imposed vpon euerie man toward the building of the Tabernacle, i. 15 d. Eng∣lish.
• Quadrans Sicli, or the fourth part of a Sicle, which was also in vse among the Iewes, 1 Sam. 8.9. which a∣mounts to a Roman peny, and in our mony to 7 d. ob. and by the Grecians were called Drachma.
• Gherahs, Exod. 30.13. which was the 20 part of a sicle, and was worth 1 d. ob.

Of Sicles there were three sorts

• A common sicle, which weighed a quarter of an ounce, and was worth 15 d.
• The Kings sicle, which weighed 3. Drachma's, that is in our mony 22 d. ob.
• The sicle of the Temple, which weighed directly halfe an ounce, and was worth 2 s. 6 d.
