his money
Silver, a precious metal characterized by its pale or shiny appearance, used in the ancient Near East as a means of exchange, a commodity of value, and material for ornamental and cultic objects. By extension, 'keçeph' frequently denotes money or payment, given that silver was the standard medium for transactions in the biblical period.
