Strong's Lexicon mesurah: Measure, measurement Original Word: מְשׂוּרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שׂוּר (sur), which means to turn aside or to depart. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for measurement-related terms can be found in Strong's Greek entries such as μέτρον (metron, G3358), which also means measure or measurement. Usage: The term "mesurah" refers to a unit of measurement or the act of measuring. It is used in contexts where quantities or dimensions are being specified or assessed. In the biblical context, it often pertains to the measurement of land, grain, or other commodities. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, measurements were crucial for trade, construction, and agriculture. Accurate measurements ensured fairness and justice in economic transactions, reflecting the biblical emphasis on honesty and integrity. The use of standardized measures was a common practice in ancient Near Eastern cultures, and the Bible often highlights the importance of just weights and measures (e.g., Leviticus 19:35-36).
