then fully examine it; please do!

search the Bible for 'silver' and see how many times the law requires it or allows it as a ransom or atonement
and then check 'gold' to see if it ever is used in the law as a ransom or atonement


:)

by all means, don't just stand on your opinion that "this has value" and "this also has value" therefore "they are interchangeable"
see what scripture says; that is how to find out what these things mean as symbols, as God defines them
“search the Bible for 'silver' and see how many times the law requires it or allows it as a ransom or atonement
and then check 'gold' to see if it ever is used in the law as a ransom or atonement”

amen gold in the ot is most ( not always ) but mostly associated with the day of atonement , the high priest who made the atonement , the golden censor of atonement , the altar of atonement , the mercy seat where the blood atonement was sprinkled seven times for sin , and candlestick of gold with seven lamps.

It’s always associated with the figures of the New Testament revelation of those things where as the silver is associated with the price of atonement and not the service of atonement or altar , mercy seat, ect the atonement price is silver but the service and servants and instruments of service is of gold in the law

later of course we have revelation of those man made figures of gold and silver

“And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; and in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

…the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1:12-13, 20‬ ‭

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum:

We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things,

as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭8:1-2, 4-6‬ ‭

it seems Moses saw patterns and figures of Christ to come later revealing his plan of salvstion through the gospel

Oh yes, it all confirmed my own studies very insightful. It did highlight a new fact for me about gold abd frankincense in the millennium kingdom. That was new to me.

Studying the astrology behind the star is interesting as well. Not sure if the astrology behind the star can be verified as factual but supposedly astrological signs took place in those years and the magi was expecting the signs due to Daniel 9 which Daniel was special in their eyes as their chief magi.
