When the King makers (wise men)came from the east They came with what? GOLD, Frankinscence and Mirh. These guys were coming to pay tribute and looking for the King of the Jews. They brought a tribute, how big? I don't know but I believe it took care of the family for a long time. My opinion.

Yes, very good. It likely took care of the family for a number of years. Since they were poor prior to that time, it was the way that G-d providencially financed their excursion and 2 year stay in Egypt.

But is wasn't the reason why Judas was the treasurer, and it didn't finance the feeding of the 5,000 (or 4,000), which incidentally were not financed at all.
