It played a crucial role in the economic and religious life of the Israelites. The shekel was used in trade, temple offerings, and as a standard for measuring precious metals. The use of standardized weights and measures was essential for maintaining fairness and integrity in commerce, reflecting the biblical emphasis on justice and honesty.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps garment<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sack (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">צִקָּלֹן</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> doubtful word; — suffix <font class="hebrew2">בְּצִקְנֹוֺ כַרְמֶל</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/4-42.htm">2 Kings 4:42</a> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ6</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <em>garment</em>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> omitted, but A <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">βακελλεθ,</font> Arm. <em>bakela</em> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">θ</font> whence Lag<sup>Armen.
