So I think this shows it couldn't be money, but it was a weight system for precious metals, and things of that nature. A barter system a going rate in weight.

I'm just asking. So, you don't think that when the Bible mentions the word money, 32 times in Genesis, 117 times total in the Old Testament and 25 times in the New Testament, that it doesn't mean money? Not any of those times?
