Ezra 2:69 as explained by Adam Clarke
Verse 69. Threescore and one thousand drams of gold] ×“×¨×›×ž×•× ×™× darkemonim, drakmons or darics; a Persian coin, always of gold, and worth about 1£. 5s., not less than £76,250 sterling in gold.
Five thousand pounds of silver] ×ž× ×™× manim, manehs or minas. As a weight, the maneh was 100 shekels; as a coin, 60 shekels in value, or about 9£.; 5000 of these manehs therefore will amount to £45,000, making in the whole a sum of about £120,000; and in this are not included the 100 garments for priests.
Thus we find that God, in the midst of judgment, remembered mercy, and gave them favour in the land of their captivity.
