It conveys the idea of something that serves as a benchmark or a point of reference. In biblical contexts, it can imply a standard of righteousness or justice, as well as a literal measure of weight or volume.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, accurate measures and weights were crucial for trade and commerce. The use of fair and honest measures was mandated by the Law of Moses, reflecting God's concern for justice and integrity in economic transactions. The concept of a "token" or standard was not only practical but also symbolic of divine justice and righteousness. The use of measures was deeply embedded in the daily life and religious practices of the Israelites, serving as a reminder of God's standards.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/8505.htm">takan</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a measurement<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>quantity (1), quota (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> I. <font class="hebrew2">תֹּ֫כֶן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Ezekiel 45:11</sup> <font size="+1"><b>measurement</b></font>;
