A talent was worth more than fifteen years' wages of a laborer

Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

A talent was a measurement of weight, usually 58-80 pounds. One talent of silver was worth more than 15 years' wages. One talent of gold was worth even more. 10,000 talents would be an inconceivable amount of debt for a slave in the king's service to repay.
