Strong's Lexicon mishqol: Weight, measure Original Word: מִשְׁקוֹל Word Origin: From the root שָׁקַל (shaqal), meaning "to weigh" or "to balance." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2218 ζυγός (zygos) - yoke, balance, pair of scales - G3358 μέτρον (metron) - measure Usage: The term "mishqol" refers to the concept of weight or measure, often used in the context of scales and balances. It signifies the act of weighing or the result of weighing, such as the weight of an object. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used both literally, in terms of physical weight, and metaphorically, to denote fairness, justice, and balance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, weights and measures were crucial for trade, commerce, and daily life. Accurate weights were essential for fair transactions, and the use of dishonest scales was condemned in the Law of Moses. The concept of weight also extended to moral and ethical dimensions, where justice and righteousness were seen as a balance of actions and consequences.
