darics (Persian gold coins)
Persian gold coins called darics, named after Darius the Great or the Persian word for gold. These coins appear in Chronicles and Ezra as part of temple contributions. First Chronicles 29:7 records that leaders gave 10,000 darics of gold for the temple, and Ezra 8:27 mentions bowls worth 1,000 darics. The daric was a standardized gold coin weighing about 8.4 grams, facilitating large transactions. The term's appearance in texts describing pre-exilic donations involves anachronism—the Chronicler used the Persian-period coinage familiar to his audience to quantify ancient contributions.

1. sense 1 — The daric (Hebrew with prosthetic aleph: 'adarkon/darkon') was Persia's standard gold currency. Chronicles and Ezra use it to measure temple donations, though the coinage didn't exist until Persian rule—the Chronicler updates older weight measures into monetary equivalents his readers understood. First Chronicles 29:7 values temple gifts at 10,000 darics; Ezra 8:27 appraises gold bowls at 1,000 darics. This reflects historiographic practice: translating ancient economics into contemporary terms. The multilingual context (Persian word in Hebrew/Aramaic text) testifies to Israel's imperial setting. 2×
