What is this about

It's about the Bible--one of the most significant influences that have shaped human history in the past and which continues to inform contemporary society. If you are not interested in learning about it, you really are wasting your time here.

If you have some insight about what Scripture says about inflation, please do share.

Happily by adhering to quantities of gold and silver, Biblical values as stated are pretty well inflation proof. Sixty-nine shekels, for instance, would be either a specific weight in gold or in silver. Similar systems have existed that we're vaguely familiar with. A pound weight of silver was a Pound sterling at one time. A cheap enough metal, easy to look up the price. There are also gold coins of specific weights.

The advantage is that your coin is always worth the same amount, namely, an ounce of gold (in the above example) or of silver if it's a silver coin and so on. There may be platinum coins, I quite like iridium brooches and I'm sure a mint somewhere would make me iridium coins if I wanted them. Palladium is another one; the point remains however that whatever your coin's made out of, that's what it will be worth at any time. This idea that money changes in value all the time (downwards, mostly) so that an ounce of gold, or sixty-nine ounces, or shekels or tons, will forever be seeming to increase in price – even though its value remains the same @ 1 (or 69) unit(s) of gold (or silver, or platinum, or iridium, or palladium) but in this case God states the value of a daughter to be 50 units of weight.

various comments

HOMEWORK
Were the units of gold or silver?
How many other metals were used back then?
Has inflation affected the price of people as stated by God when buying one?

There are so many ignorant types out there who have no idea what God's values really are, set out with considerable detail provided in The Bible. Making up a belief system in which social justice is ascribed according to worldly criteria cannot possibly lead to God. The more people reject Him, the more His Perfect Love is compromised. What values are important to you? Eternal joy? Or eternal agony.

You'll have to explain it to me. Type slowly.

Nice catch, but you really can't take those to the bank. Picky bastards.

I was thinking more astrological symbols.

I sold my daughter for 10 Bitcoins - back in 2011. Almost makes me wish I had another daughter.

Maybe you're confusing the Temple shekel with the fiat shekel. The temple no longer exists, of course. Jesus explained why. Perhaps you could find that verse?

Numbers 5:21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
Numbers 5:27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

God made the female form in a certain way for a reason, to enable sharp eyed men to identify suitable females. An inflated one is false advertising.

Yes. Inflated women are really nasty and unGodly! Women like this:

James, the number's 19. 19.00$ Theonomics dictates you need to account for inflation.

Theonomics

You're confused, dear. Theonomics is not a portmanteau of theology and economics. From wiki

Theonomy, from theos (god) and nomos (law), is a hypothetical Christian form of government in which society is ruled by divine law. Theonomists hold that divine law, particularly the judicial laws of the Old Testament, should be observed by modern societies. The precise definition of theonomy is the starting presumption that the Old Covenant judicial laws given to Israel have not been abrogated therefore all civil governments are morally obligated to enforce them (including the specific penalties) and furthermore that all civil governments must refrain from coercion in areas where Scripture has not prescribed their intervention (the “regulative principle of the state”).

Re: How much do you guys think I could sell my daughter for?

The Bible tells us that a female is worth 30 shekels about $9.00 in real, US Dollars.

James, the number's 19. 19.00$ Theonomics dictates you need to account for inflation.
