The word crowd is a singular noun that refers to a group of people. If your language does not use singular nouns in that way, you can use a different expression. Alternate translation: “a group of people” or “many people” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-collectivenouns]])

*the household of God, which is the church of the living God* (1 Timothy 3:15)
This phrase gives us further information about **the household of God**. It is not making a distinction between a household of God that is the church and one that is not the church. If it would be helpful in your language, you can make the relationship between these phrases clearer.

*forty silver shekels* (Nehemiah 5:15)
In ancient times, a silver shekel weighed about 11 grams or about a third of an ounce. You could try to express the equivalent in terms of modern money values, but if you did, that could cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. Instead, you could say something general like “40 silver coins” or give the equivalent weight or use the biblical term in the text and explain the weight in a footnote.
