The parallel also, in its ver. 29, states the prices of a chariot from Egypt as "six hundred shekels qu. bekas of silver" (i.e. about either or and of a horse for the cavalry, perhaps, not for the chariot, as "one hundred and fifty shekels qu. bekas of silver" i.e. 10s. or 5s., estimating the shekel as worth three shillings with us).
