The Math / Science

The Biblical weight of a talent is equal to approximately 34 kilograms.  To compute the current value of gold, one uses the following equation:

        Gold Value = weight • %pure • Gold SPOT PRICE

where:

• Gold Value = The current value of gold content
• weight = The weight of gold item
• %pure = Percent of purity of the gold (e.g. 24k gold is 100% pure)
• Gold SPOT PRICE = The current market value of pure gold bullion.

Therefore, the value of one hundred and twenty talents of gold  = 120 • 34 kilograms • 100% •  Gold SPOT PRICE TODAY
