weight; measured heaviness, the property of being weighed
Ezekiel uses this word when instructing the prophet to eat bread 'by weight' during his symbolic siege of Jerusalem. Eating food by weight implies scarcity and rationing—carefully measuring each portion because supplies are limited. It's part of the prophet's enacted prophecy of siege conditions, where normal abundance gives way to desperate conservation. The term emphasizes the measured, deliberate aspect—not weight in general but the act of weighing out portions carefully.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The property of being weighed or measured, used in Ezekiel 4:10 in the phrase 'by weight,' describing how the prophet must eat his rations. The context is symbolic siege conditions where food is scarce and must be carefully rationed. Eating 'by weight' means measuring out each portion precisely because there isn't enough to eat freely. The image evokes the desperation of siege warfare when supplies dwindle and every morsel must be accounted for. This is not weight as abstract property but weight as the basis for careful, anxious measurement of scarce resources. 1×
