Description

Is the Torah's "kesef" a coin, a value or a metal? And how do we evaluate the perutah today, when barley kernels change in size? [Re: Asimon in the discussion, see Rashi and Tosafot Bava Metzia 44b. And for more re: coins in Chumash, see The Monetary Legal Theory Under the Talmud, available at local.droit.ulg.ac.be/sa/rida/file/2008/02.Geva.pdf.
