It can also denote a measurement or standard. In the context of tribute, it often implies a levy or tax imposed by a ruling authority, typically in the form of goods or services. As a measurement, it refers to a standard or unit used for quantifying something.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern societies, tribute was a common practice where subjugated peoples or vassal states paid taxes to their overlords. This could be in the form of agricultural produce, livestock, or other goods. The concept of measurement was also crucial in these societies for trade, construction, and various religious practices. Accurate measurements ensured fairness and consistency in economic transactions and religious observances.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/4060b.htm">middah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>tribute<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>tax (1), taxes (1), tribute (3).<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">מִנְדָּה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מִדָּה</font> (?) <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>tribute</b></font> (Assyrian loan-word, compare Biblical Hebrew II.
