Exodus 30:13
Evangelical Heritage Version
13 Each one shall give this redemption as he passes over to the group which has already been registered—half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs),[a] half a shekel for an offering to the Lord.

- Exodus 30:13 A shekel is a unit of weight (about two fifths of an ounce), but it is also the standard monetary unit. When shekel refers to a monetary unit, this translation retains the term shekel. It appears that the temple shekel was larger than the regular shekel, but we do not know how much a gerah weighed.
Exodus 30:13
New International Version
13 Each one who crosses over to those already counted is to give a half shekel,[a] according to the sanctuary shekel,(A) which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the Lord.
