your study.

1. Look up in any Bible dictionary, under "Weights and Measures," the

dry measure, and "hin," which was their common unit for measuring
liquids.

2. From the facts given in this chapter, calculate in pounds
avoirdupois, the approximate weight of a talent.

3. To what extent does the Old Testament reflect the experiences of
shepherd life? Look up "shepherd" in any concordance.

4. What are some valuable lessons which great spiritual teachers among
the Hebrews learned from their shepherd life? Read Psalm 23.
