piece (of silver) — unit of payment or currency
This rare feminine noun appears in 1 Samuel 2:36, where a destitute priest begs 'for a piece of silver' to buy bread. The term denotes a small unit of currency or payment, emphasizing the humble scale of the petitioner's need. Cross-linguistic evidence shows translations rendering it as 'piece' or 'coin,' capturing the concrete monetary reference in a narrative about the collapse of Eli's priestly house.
