TALENT
A. Noun.
(
1
, 5007), originally “a balance,” then, “a talent in weight,” was
hence “a sum of money” in gold or silver equivalent to a “talent.” The Jewish “talent”
contained 3,000 shekels of the sanctuary, e.g., Ex. 30:13 (about 114 lbs.). In NT times the
“talent” was not a weight of silver, but the Roman-Attic “talent,” comprising 6,000
denarii or drachmas, and equal to about L/240. It is mentioned in Matthew only, 18:24;
25:15, 16, 20 (twice in the best texts), 22 (thrice), 24, 25, 28 (twice). In 18:24 the
vastness of the sum, 10,000 talents (L/2,400,000), indicates the impossibility of man’s
clearing himself, by his own efforts, of the guilt which lies upon him before God.¶
Note:
That the “talent” denoted “something weighed” has provided the meaning of
the Eng. word as “a gift or ability,” especially under the influence of the parable of the
talents (Matt. 25:14-30).
B. Adjective.
(
