BIBLICAL HETERONYM

Can you think of a frequently used, single-syllable Biblical word that is a heteronym?  That is, it can be pronounced two different ways - each with a different meaning - as in DOVE (the bird) and DOVE (past tense of DIVE)?

HINT:
The non-Biblical meaning is an informal term for money.

Answer:

THOU - meaning "you" in the Bible and "thousand" informally.
