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, weighing Meaning: The term מִשְׁקָל refers to "weight" or "weighing." It is used to denote the concept of weight as a measure of mass or heaviness. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁקַל (shaqal), which means "to weigh." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2218 ζυγός (zygos): Often translated as "yoke" or "balance," this term can relate to the concept of weighing or balance in a metaphorical sense. • G3358 μέτρον (metron): Meaning "measure," this term is used in contexts involving measurement, which can include weight. • G4976 σκεῦος (skeuos): While primarily meaning "vessel" or "implement," it can be associated with items used in weighing or measuring. These Greek terms reflect the broader biblical themes of measurement, balance, and fairness, paralleling the Hebrew concept of מִשְׁקָל. Usage: The word מִשְׁקָל appears in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often related to the physical weight of objects, precious metals, or commodities. It is used to describe the act of weighing or the result of weighing. Context: מִשְׁקָל (mishqal) is a noun masculine in Biblical Hebrew, primarily used to indicate the weight of an object. It is often found in contexts involving trade, commerce, and offerings, where precise measurements were crucial. The concept of weight in the ancient Near East was significant for ensuring fair trade and accurate transactions. In the Bible, weights were often standardized using stones or other materials, and the term מִשְׁקָל would be used to describe the weight of precious metals like gold and silver, as seen in various passages. For example, in 1 Kings 10:14, the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year is described: "The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents." Here, מִשְׁקָל is used to quantify the substantial amount of gold received. The concept of weight also extends metaphorically in the Scriptures, symbolizing the value or worth of something, whether material or spiritual. The accurate weighing of goods was a matter of justice and righteousness, reflecting the broader biblical theme of fairness and integrity in dealings.
