The concept of scales is often associated with balance, justice, and discernment, reflecting the broader themes of righteousness and divine judgment. Literal Use 1. Commerce and Trade: Scales were an essential tool in ancient commerce, used to weigh goods and ensure fair transactions. The Bible emphasizes the importance of honesty in trade, condemning dishonest scales as an abomination. <a href="/proverbs/11.htm">Proverbs 11:1</a> states, "Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an accurate weight is His delight." Similarly, <a href="/leviticus/19-35.htm">Leviticus 19:35-36</a> instructs, "You must not use dishonest measures of length, weight, or volume. You shall maintain honest scales and weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin." 2. Symbol of Justice: Scales are also a symbol of justice and equity. In the ancient Near East, scales were often associated with the administration of justice, reflecting the idea that actions and intentions are weighed by God. <a href="/job/31-6.htm">Job 31:6</a> expresses this sentiment: "let God weigh me with honest scales, and He will know my integrity." Metaphorical Use 1. Spiritual Blindness: In the New Testament, scales are used metaphorically to describe spiritual blindness or the removal thereof. In <a href="/acts/9-18.htm">Acts 9:18</a> , after Saul's encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus, "immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he could see again." This event signifies Saul's (later Paul) transition from spiritual ignorance to enlightenment and understanding of the truth of the Gospel. 2. Judgment and Accountability: The imagery of scales is also employed to convey the idea of divine judgment and accountability. <a href="/daniel/5-27.htm">Daniel 5:27</a> recounts the judgment against King Belshazzar: "TEKEL means that you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient." This passage underscores the belief that God evaluates the moral and spiritual weight of individuals and nations. Cultural and Historical Context In the ancient world, scales were a common sight in marketplaces and courts, symbolizing fairness and integrity. The biblical injunctions against dishonest scales reflect a broader concern for social justice and ethical conduct, principles that are deeply rooted in the character of God as depicted in Scripture. Theological Implications The use of scales in the Bible serves as a reminder of God's omniscience and His role as the ultimate judge. It calls believers to live lives of integrity, ensuring that their actions align with divine standards of righteousness. The metaphor of scales falling from one's eyes highlights the transformative power of divine revelation, leading individuals from darkness to light. In summary, the concept of scales in the Bible encompasses themes of justice, integrity, and spiritual awakening, serving as a powerful symbol of God's righteous judgment and the call for His people to live justly.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>SCALESskalz (1) qasqeseth "fish-scales"; (2) meghinnah, maghen, "scales of the crocodile"; (3) lepis, with verb lepizo "scale away" (Tobit 3:17; 11:13)): (1) The first Hebrew word qasqeseth means the imbricated scales of fish, which together with the dorsal fin were a distinguishing mark of all fish allowed as food to the Israelite (<a href="/leviticus/11-9.htm">Leviticus 11:9</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/14-9.htm">Deuteronomy 14:9 f</a>). In the figurative sense the word is used of a coat of mail (<a href="/1_samuel/17-5.htm">1 Samuel 17:5, 38</a>). (2) Meghinnah from maghen, literally, "a buckler" or "small shield" (<a href="/2_chronicles/23-9.htm">2 Chronicles 23:9</a> <a href="/jeremiah/46-3.htm">Jeremiah 46:3</a>), is used in the description of the crocodile (see LEVIATHAN) for the horny scales or scutes imbedded in the skin, not imbricated upon it (<a href="/job/41-15.htm">Job 41:15</a> (Hebrew verse 7)). (3) The Greek lepis, which in classical language has a much wider range of meaning than the above Hebrew words ("rind," "husk," "shell," "fish-scale," "scale of snake," "flake of metal and of snow," etc.), is found in the New Testament description of Paul's recovery from temporary blindness, "And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight" (<a href="/acts/9-18.htm">Acts 9:18</a>). There is nothing in the words of the sacred text which compels us to think of literal scales. (In Tobit, however, a literal flaking-off of foreign substance is meant.) We have here rather a description of the sensation which terminated the three days' period of blindness which the apostle suffered after his meeting with the risen Lord on the road to Damascus. The apostle himself does not use this expression in his own graphic description of the same experience: "In that very hour I looked upon him" (<a href="/acts/22-13.htm">Acts 22:13</a>). The phrase has, however, come into English, for we speak of "scales falling from one's eyes" when we mean a sudden illumination or remembrance or a dissipation of harassing doubt.
