When I saw — He accurately describes the progress of his sin, which began at his eye, which he permitted to gaze upon them, which inflamed his desire, and made him covet them; and that desire made him take them; and having taken, resolve to keep them; and to that end hide them in his tent. Babylonish garment — Which were composed with great art with divers colours, and of great price, as appears both from scripture, and Heathen authors. Two hundred shekels — To wit, in weight, not in coin; for as yet they received and payed money by weight. The silver under it — That is, under the Babylonish garment; covered with it, or wrapt up in it.

21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedgee of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
