In Hebrew culture, the go'el was a close relative who had the responsibility to redeem or buy back property or a person who had fallen into debt or slavery. The go'el would act as a savior or deliverer, providing a way for the person to be set free and restored to their rightful position.

A Hebrew shekel equaled about 1/2 ounce. Approximately how much did Goliath's spearhead weigh, in pounds? (Hint: One pound = 16 ounces.)
- A.
  
  17 3/4
- B.
  
  18 3/4
- C.
  
  19 1/2
- D.
  
  20 1/4
Correct Answer
B. 18 3/4

Explanation
The question provides a hint that one pound is equal to 16 ounces. It also mentions that a Hebrew shekel is approximately equal to 1/2 ounce. Since the question asks for the weight of Goliath's spearhead in pounds, we need to find the weight in ounces first. We can do this by multiplying the weight in shekels (1/2 ounce) by the number of shekels in the given answer choices. The only answer choice that gives a weight in ounces that is divisible by 16 (since 1 pound = 16 ounces) is 18 3/4. Therefore, the weight of Goliath's spearhead is 18 3/4 pounds.
