And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means (note: Heb. by their hand).
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver (note: 600 shekels is approximately 15.1 pounds or 6.8 kilograms of silver.), and a horse for a hundred and fifty (note: 150 shekels is approximately 3.8 pounds or 1.7 kilograms of silver.). Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
