It signifies the act of weighing or the result of weighing, such as the weight of an object. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used both literally, in terms of physical weight, and metaphorically, to denote fairness, justice, and balance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, weights and measures were crucial for trade, commerce, and daily life. Accurate weights were essential for fair transactions, and the use of dishonest scales was condemned in the Law of Moses. The concept of weight also extended to moral and ethical dimensions, where justice and righteousness were seen as a balance of actions and consequences.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/8254.htm">shaqal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>heaviness, weight<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>weight (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">מִשְׁקוֺל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>heaviness, weight</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בְּמ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/4-10.htm">Ezekiel 4:10</a> <em>by weight.</em> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>weight <p>From <a href="/hebrew/8254.htm">shaqal</a>; weight -- weight. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/8254.htm">shaqal</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בְּמִשְׁק֕וֹל במשקול bə·miš·qō·wl bemishKol bəmišqōwl<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezekiel/4-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezekiel 4:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/4.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֹּאכֲלֶ֔נּוּ <b> בְּמִשְׁק֕וֹל </b> עֶשְׂרִ֥ים שֶׁ֖קֶל</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezekiel/4.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> a day <span class="itali">by weight;</span> you shall eat<br><a href="/kjvs/ezekiel/4.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> which thou shalt eat <span class="itali">[shall be] by weight,</span> twenty<br><a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/4-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> which eat <span class="itali">weight</span> twenty shekels<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4946.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4946.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4946<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/bemishkol_4946.htm">bə·miš·qō·wl — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4945b.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4945b"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4945b" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4947.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4947"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4947" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
