It is an Aramaic word meaning "weighed." In the context of ancient Near Eastern cultures, weights and measures were crucial for trade and justice, symbolizing fairness and integrity. The use of "TEKEL" signifies divine judgment, as God is portrayed as the ultimate judge who weighs the actions and hearts of individuals and nations.<p><b>means that you have been weighed</b><br>The imagery of weighing suggests a divine assessment of Belshazzar's reign. In biblical terms, God often evaluates the moral and spiritual weight of individuals and nations. This concept is echoed in <a href="/proverbs/16-2.htm">Proverbs 16:2</a>, where it states that the Lord weighs the spirit. The metaphor of scales is used to convey the idea of justice and righteousness, as seen in <a href="/job/31-6.htm">Job 31:6</a>, where Job desires to be weighed in honest scales.<p><b>on the scales</b><br>Scales were a common tool in ancient commerce, symbolizing fairness and balance. In a spiritual sense, they represent God's standard of righteousness. The scales imply that there is an objective measure against which Belshazzar's actions are judged. This reflects the biblical principle that God is just and His judgments are true, as seen in <a href="/psalms/62-9.htm">Psalm 62:9</a>, where people are weighed on a balance and found to be lighter than a breath.<p><b>and found deficient.</b><br>The verdict of being "deficient" indicates that Belshazzar has failed to meet God's standards. This deficiency is not merely in terms of political or military prowess but in moral and spiritual terms. The concept of being found wanting is a warning that echoes throughout scripture, such as in <a href="/romans/3-23.htm">Romans 3:23</a>, which states that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. This phrase underscores the theme of divine retribution and the need for repentance, pointing to the ultimate fulfillment of justice through Jesus Christ, who provides the means to be justified before God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/b/belshazzar.htm">Belshazzar</a></b><br>The king of Babylon during the time of this event.
