'Pounds' in the Bible

About seventy-five pounds of pure gold is to be used for it and for all these utensils.

"Take choice spices: twelve and a half pounds of free-flowing myrrh, half that -- about six and a quarter pounds -- of sweet-smelling cinnamon, six and a quarter pounds of sweet-smelling cane,

and twelve and a half pounds of cassia, all weighed according to the sanctuary shekel, and four quarts of olive oil.

He made the lampstand and all its accessories with seventy-five pounds of pure gold.
