56 Now the reckoning is thus: a senine of gold, a seon of gold, a shum of gold, and a limnah of gold.

57 A senum of silver, an amnor of silver, an ezrom of silver, and an onti of silver.

58 A senum of silver was equal to a senine of gold; and either for a measure of barley, and also for a measure of every kind of grain.

59 Now the amount of a seon of gold was twice the value of a senine; and a shum of gold was twice the value of a seon; and a limnah of gold was the value of them all;

60 And an amnor of silver was as great as two senums; and an ezrom of silver was as great as four senums; and an onti was as great as them all.

61 Now this is the value of the lesser numbers of their reckoning, a shiblon is half of a senum: therefore a shiblon for half a measure of barley; and a shiblum is a half of a shiblon; and a leah is the half of a shiblum.

62 Now an antion of gold is equal to three shiblons.

63 Now this is their number, according to their reckoning.

64 Now it was for the sole purpose to get gain, because they received their wages according to their employ;

65 Therefore they did stir up the people to riotings, and all manner of disturbances and wickedness, that they might have more employ;

66 That they might get money according to the suits which were brought before them; therefore they did stir up the people against Alma and Amulek.
