# All the gold that was used for the project
"All the gold that the people used for the project"
# twenty-nine talents
"29 talents" or "about 960 kilograms". A talent is about 33 kilograms.
# 730 shekels
"seven hundred and thirty shekels" or "about 8 kilograms." (A shekel is 11 grams).
# measured by the standard of the sanctuary shekel
There were evidently shekels of more than one weight at the time. This specified which one was to be used. See how you translated this in Exodus 30:13.
