Strong's Lexicon mishqal: Weight, measure Original Word: מִשְׁקָל Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: mishqal Pronunciation: mish-KAHL Phonetic Spelling: (mish-kawl') Definition: Weight, measure Meaning: weight, weighing Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁקַל (shaqal), meaning "to weigh" or "to balance." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2218 ζυγός (zygos) - yoke, balance - G3358 μέτρον (metron) - measure Usage: The term "mishqal" refers to a weight or measure, often used in the context of commerce and trade in the ancient Near East. It denotes the physical weight of an object, which was crucial for fair trade practices and economic transactions. The concept of weight also extends metaphorically to signify balance, justice, and fairness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, weights and measures were essential for trade and daily life. The use of accurate weights was a matter of justice and righteousness, as emphasized in the Torah. The Israelites were commanded to use honest scales and weights (Leviticus 19:35-36; Deuteronomy 25:13-16). The integrity of weights was a reflection of one's moral and ethical standing before God and the community.
