Text Appearing Before Image:
weight, Gen. 23 : 16, and the Hebrew word for this metal denoted money in general, as does the French word argent. The pieces of silver (thirty of which were given as the price if innocent blood, Matt. 26 : 15 ; 27 : 3) were probably shekels of silver, worth fifty cents each. The silverling, Isa.7 : 23, is supposed to have been of like value. In Mai. 3:2, 3 there is manifest reference to the cupellation of silver by means of lead, the process of purification employed before the discovery of quicksilver. A very beautiful phenomenon, knownas the fulguration of the metal, attendsthe removal of the last portions of leadfrom the silver. During the earlierstages of the process the film of oxideof lead, which is constantly forming over the melted mass, is renewed as rapidly as it is removed: but when the lead has all been oxidized, the film of litharge upon the silver becomes thinner and thinner as it flows off.

SILVERLING. Isa. 7 : 23. See Silver. SIMEON (o hearing). 1. Son of Jacob and Leah. Gen. 29 : 33. According to the prediction of Jacob, Gen. 49 :5-7, and as a punishment for his offence in the matter of the Shecheinites, Gen.34 (see Dinah), his posterity dwindled, comp. Num. 1: 22, 23 ; 26 : 14, and their inheritance was only a dismembered portion of the terrritory of Judah. Josh
