Context — Instructions for the Missiongenerated
Matthew 10:9 is part of Jesus' instructions to His disciples as He sends them out to minister. He emphasizes reliance on God rather than material possessions, instructing them to focus on their mission of healing and preaching. This context highlights the importance of faith and trust in God's provision as they embark on their journey, as seen in the surrounding verses that encourage them to give freely as they have received.

The Key Word — κτήσησθε, ktaomaigenerated
The verb κτάομαι (ktaomai) means to acquire or possess something. It is in the aorist middle deponent form, indicating an action that is intended to be taken by the subject, in this case, the disciples. This form suggests that the action is done for their own benefit, emphasizing the personal nature of the possession.
In this verse, the subjunctive mood indicates a prohibition, meaning the disciples are not to acquire or take along any gold, silver, or copper. This instruction reflects a deeper principle of reliance on God rather than on material wealth.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'Do not carry any gold or silver or copper in your belts.' The KJV uses 'Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,' while the ASV states, 'Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses.'
Where the translations differ is in the rendering of χαλκὸν. The KJV and others translate it as 'brass', while the BSB and others use 'copper'. Additionally, ζώνας is translated as 'purses' in the KJV and ASV, while the BSB and others prefer 'belts'.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the verb κτήσησθε, may take along, with two negative adverbial phrases preceding it: Μὴ and μηδὲ, both indicating what should not be taken. The structure emphasizes the prohibition on carrying valuables.
The noun phrases that follow include the objects of the prohibition: χρυσὸν, ἄργυρον, and χαλκὸν, all in the accusative case, indicating they are the items not to be possessed.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
χρυσὸς is used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew word for gold, זָהָב, found in various contexts where wealth or precious items are discussed.
ἄργυρος similarly corresponds to כֶּ֫סֶף, referring to silver, which is also a common currency and valuable metal in biblical texts.

St. Matthew’s report includes all the three forms of the money then in circulation. The tense of the word rendered “provide” requires notice. It implies that if they had money, they might take it, but they were not to “get” or “provide” it as a condition of their journey, still less to delay till they had got it. In your purses.—Literally, in your girdles—the twisted folds of which were, and are, habitually used in the East instead of the “purse” of the West.

This I have often observed. In a thousand instances an apostolic preacher, who goes to the wilderness to seek the lost sheep, will be exposed to hunger and cold, and other inconveniences; he must therefore resign himself to God, depending on his providence for the necessaries of life. If God have sent him, he is bound to support him, and will do it: anxiety therefore, in him, is a double crime, as it insinuates a…

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,

used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation.

μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively).

gold (zahabh; chrusos):
1. Terms:
No metal has been more frequently mentioned in Old Testament writings than gold, and none has had more terms applied to it. Among these terms the one most used is zahabh. The Arabic equivalent, dhahab, is still the common name for gold throughout Palestine, Syria and Egypt. With zahabh frequently occur other words which, translated, mean "pure" (Ex 25:11), "refined" (1Ch 28:18), "finest" (1Ki 10:18), "beaten" (1Ki 10:17), "Ophir" (Ps 45:9).
Other terms occurring are: paz, "fine gold" (Job 28:17;
Gold
(1.) Heb. zahab, so called from its yellow colour (Ex. 25:11; 1 Chr. 28:18; 2 Chr. 3:5).
(2.) Heb. segor, from its compactness, or as being enclosed or treasured up; thus precious or “fine gold” (1 Kings 6:20; 7:49).
Gold was known from the very earliest times. (Genesis 2:11) It was at first used chiefly for ornaments, etc. (Genesis 24:22) Coined money was not known to the ancients till a comparatively late period; and on the Egyptian tombs gold is represented as being weighed in rings for commercial purposes. Comp. (Genesis 43:21) Gold was extremely abundant in ancient times, (1 Chronicles 22:14; 2 Chronicles 1:15; 9:9; Daniel 3:1; Nahum 2:9) but this did not depreciate its value, because of the enormous quantities consumed by…
A well-known valuable metal, found in many parts of the world, and obtained anciently in Ophir, Job 28:16; Parvaim, 2Ch 3:6; Sheba, and Raamah, Eze 27:22. Job alludes to gold in various forms, Job 22:24 28:15-19. Abraham was rich in it, and female ornaments were early made of it, Ge 13:2 24:22,35. It is spoken of throughout Scripture; and the use of it among and ancient Hebrews, in its native and mixed state, and for the same purposes as at present, was very common. The Ark of the Covenant was overlaid with pure gold; the mercy seat, the vessels and utensils belonging to the tabernacle, and those also of the house of…

The Greek word ἄργυρος (i.e., *arguros*) means silver, derived from the word for shining. It refers to the metal itself and can also denote silver money, though it is less common in this sense compared to ἀργύριον (*argyrian*). The New Testament uses it in contexts related to both the metal and its monetary form, appearing in passages such as Matthew 10:9 and James 5:3.
ἄργυρος, -ου, ὁ
(< ἀργός, shining),
[in LXX for כֶּסֶף;]
silver (on its relation to ἀργύριον, v. MM, s.v.): Mt 10:9, Ac 17:29, Ja 5:5, Re 18:12.†
ἄργυρος, -ov, 6, (ἀργός shining), [fr. Hom. down], silver : 1 Co. iii. 12 [T Tr WH ἀργύριον (reference is made to the silver with which the columns of noble buildings were covered and the rafters adorned); by meton. things made of silver, silver-work, vessels, images of the gods, etc.: Acts xvii. 29; Jas. v. 3; Rev. xviii. 12. silver coin: Mt. x. 9.
ἄργυρος. The distinction between ἄργυρος “5. ver” and ἀργύριον “< silver used as money,” which in classical Greek has exceptions on both sides, is generally observed in NT: ἀργύριον in 1 Cor 3!2 and ἄργυρος in Mt τοῦ are the only clear exceptions. In the papyri ἄργυρος is as rare as ἀργύριον is ubiquitous. It figures frequently in P Leid X, a very long document dealing with metallurgical subjects (ili/iv A.D.). P Par 60 δὲ:33 (c. B.C. 200) has ἀργύρου στατήρων, and BGU IIT. g92it 52° (B.c. 160) χαλκοῦ πρὸς ἄργυρον, but in P Lips I. 6427 (iv/a.p.) &(py)vpov (curiously abbreviated) is “Geld”.

sil'-ver (keceph; argurion, arguros): Silver was known in the earliest historic times. Specimens of early Egyptian and Babylonian silver work testify to the skill of the ancient silversmiths. In Palestine, silver objects have been found antedating the occupation of the land by the Hebrews. This metal was used for making all kinds of ornamental objects. In the mound of Gezer were found bowls, vases, ladles, hairpins, rings and bracelets of silver. The rings and settings for scarabs or seals were commonly of this metal. The first mention of silver in the Bible is in Ge 13:2, where it says that Abraham was rich in cattle, in silver and gold. At that time it was commonly used in exchange in the form of bars or other shapes. Coins of that metal were of a much later date (Ge 20:16…
Silver
Used for a great variety of purposes, as may be judged from the frequent references to it in Scripture. It first appears in commerce in Gen. 13:2; 23:15, 16. It was largely employed for making vessels for the sanctuary in the wilderness (Ex. 26:19; 27:17; Num. 7:13, 19; 10:2). There is no record of its having been found in Syria or Palestine. It was brought in large quantities by foreign merchants from abroad, from Spain and India and other countries probably.
In very early times silver was used for ornaments, (Genesis 24:53) and for vessels of various kinds. Images for idolatrous worship were made of silver or overlaid with it, (Exodus 20:23; Hosea 13:2); Habb 2:19 Bar. 6:39, and the manufacture of silver shrines for Diana was a trade in Ephesus. (Acts 19:24) But its chief use was as a medium of exchange, and throughout the Old Testament we find "silver" used for money, like the French argent . Silver was brought to Solomon from Arabia, (2 Chronicles 9:14) and from Tarshish, (2 Chronicles 9:21) which supplied the markets…
One of the precious metals and the one most commonly used as coin among all nations. It is first mentioned in Scripture in the history of Abraham, Ge 13:2 20:16 23:16, and was used in constricting the tabernacle, Ex 26:19,32, and afterwards the temple, 1Ch 29:4. In employing it as a medium of trade, the ancient Hebrews weighed it out, instead of having coins. In the times of the New Testament there were coins. See SHEKEL, and MONEY.

The Greek word χαλκός (i.e., *chalkos*) means copper or bronze and can refer to items made from these metals, including coins. It appears in the New Testament in contexts related to musical instruments and money, such as in 1 Corinthians 13:1 and Matthew 10:9. The word's usage has evolved to encompass various metal objects, reflecting its historical significance in metallurgy.
χαλκός, -od, ὁ, fr. Hom. down, Sept. for nwn3, brass: 1 Co. xiii. 1; Rev. xviii. 12; (like the Lat. aes) what is made of brass, money, coins of brass (also of silver and of gold), Mt.x. 9; Mk.vi.8; xii. 41. [B.D.s. v. Brass; Dict. of Antiq. 8. v. aes.]
χαλκός. From meaning ‘‘ bronze”’ generally (1 Cor 131, Rev 1815), χαλκός comes to be applied to ““ bronze-money” (Mk 68, 1241): cf. P Lips I. 106!® (a.p. 98) βλέπε δέ, μηδενὶ ἄλλῳ Bois (/. δῷς) χαλκόν, P Tebt 11. 41479 (ii/A.D.) πέμψῃ μοι τὸν χαλκόν, ἔπι ἔρχομαι, ‘send me the money, since I am μοι πόσου χαλκοῦ δέδωκες αὐτῶι, “let me know how much money you have given to him” (Edd.).
χαλκός (chalkos) — copper/bronze/coin.
χαλκός,
Cretan dialect καυχός [Refs 3rd c.BC+], ὁ:— copper, χ. ἐρυθρός [Refs 8th c.BC+]; and of the ornaments of a house, χαλκοῦ τε στεροπήν [Refs 8th c.BC+]; of copper as the first metal that men learnt to smelt and work, τῶν δ᾽ ἦν χάλκεα μὲν τεύχεα, χάλκεοι δέ τε οἶκοι, χαλκῷ δ᾽ εἰργάζοντο, μέλας δ᾽ οὐκ ἔσκε σίδηρος [Refs 8th c.BC+]; χ. ἐρυθρός (compare above) [Refs 5th c.BC+]; alloyed with tin to form bronze, the usual meaning of the word in [Refs 8th c.BC+] and frequently in later writers: σίδηρος δὲ καὶ χ. πολέμων ὄργανα [Refs 5th c.BC+]

anything made of brass or metal, as a spear, sword, knife, etc., Il.; χαλκὸν ζώννυσθαι of a warrior girding on his armour, id. Il., etc.

kop'-er (nechosheth): The word is translated "copper" in only one passage (Ezr 8:27 the King James Version). In the American Standard Revised Version of this passage, "brass" has been substituted. Neither describes the actual alloy according to present definitions so well as the word "bronze." Copper was one of the earliest metals to be known and utilized in alloy, but copper, as a single metal, was probably little used. The remains of spears, balances, arms, vases, mirrors, statues, cooking utensils, implements of all kinds, etc., from Bible times are principally of an alloy of copper hardened with tin known today as bronze (see BRASS). In such passages as De 8:9, where reference is made to the native metal or ores, "copper" should be substituted for "brass" as in the American…
Copper
Derived from the Greek kupros (the island of Cyprus), called “Cyprian brass,” occurs only in the Authorized Version in Ezra 8:27. Elsewhere the Hebrew word (nehosheth) is improperly rendered “brass,” and sometimes “steel” (2 Sam. 22:35; Jer. 15:12). The “bow of steel” (Job 20:24; Ps. 18:34) should have been “bow of copper” (or “brass,” as in the R.V.). The vessels of “fine copper” of Ezra 8:27 were probably similar to those of “bright brass” mentioned in 1 Kings 7:45;
Heb. nechosheth , in the Authorized Version always rendered "brass," except in (Ezra 8:27) and Jere 15:12 It was almost exclusively used by the ancients for common purposes, and for every kind of instrument, as chains, pillars, lavers and the other temple vessels. We read also of copper mirrors, (Exodus 38:8) and even of copper arms, as helmets, spears, etc. (1 Samuel 17:5,6,38; 2 Samuel 21:16)
One of the primitive metals, and the most ductile and malleable after gold and silver. Of this metal and zinc is made brass, which is a modern invention. There is little doubt but that copper is intended in those passages of our translation on the Bible which speak of brass. Copper was known prior to the flood, and was wrought by Tubal-cain, Ge 4:22. Hiram of Tyre was a celebrated worker in copper, 1Ki 7:14. Palestine abounded in it, De 8:9, and David amassed great quantities to be employed in building the temple, 1Ch 22:3-14. In Ezr 8:27, two vessels are mentioned "of fine copper, precious as gold." This was probably a…

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes. The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

ζώνη (zōnē) means a belt or girdle, typically worn around the waist. It can also refer to a purse, as it often served as a receptacle for money. The term appears in several New Testament verses, including Matthew 3:4 and Revelation 1:13. The lexicons note its use in both male and female contexts, with some references to its role in childbirth and as a symbol in various phrases.

Hom. down], a girdle, belt, serving not only to gird on flowing garments, Mt. iii. 4; Mk.i.6; Acts xxi. 11; Rev. i. 13; xv. 6; but also, since it was hollow, to carry money in [A.
