J#136

• Hand-made Star of David in 14k gold with ancient coin  (widow 's mites)The poor widow moth and Jesus sat on the treasury, and looked at how the people's treasury: and many of the rich cast them a lot.  And the wage of a poor widow, who is three in two fils, which is separated.  So he called his disciples and said to them: ((Ferebe is a tray for you, that this poor widow has thrown in her more than all those who threw into the treasury, because all that they threw out of their bounty, but from her desire she cast all that she had, ... (Mark 12: 41-44)  Since Jesus indicated how poor this widow was, and how little money she threw into the treasury, there is no doubt about that. The widow's mite was the smallest coin in circulation in Jerusalem at that time. Even though the small bronze coins of Alexander Janius (  No. 12, 13) was minted long before this incident, archaeological evidence tells us that it ran well after the death of Christ. There is another reference to "moths" in Luke 12:59.
