Genesis 49:33

“And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.”

yielded up the ghost - seems to mean - died

I think most people would agree with that, for it is a saying often used today.

There's a specific Hebrew verb. The NKJV, NLT, NIV, ESV, and NASB translate it as "breathed his last," and that's probably the best translation.

A big error in the NKJV is found in the verse as to the 666 talents of gold that came to Solomon. It has that it was a yearly amount.

A number of translations and commentators have "yearly." Is your Hebrew expertise enough to say that they are wrong?
