3107. 'Ten [shekels] of gold in weight' means the full amount involved in the introduction. This is clear from the meaning of 'ten', like a hundred, as a complete state, dealt with in 1988, 2636, from the meaning of 'gold' which here is a type of currency whose weight is used to indicate value, and from the meaning of 'weight' as the state of something as regards good, dealt with above in 3104. From this it is evident that 'ten [shekels] of gold in weight' means a complete state of what is being valued as regards good. The fact that the full amount involved in the introduction is meant is clear from the details in this chapter which deals with the introduction or betrothing.
