measurement, fixed amount, proportion; tale (quota) of items; proper composition or standard
A feminine noun denoting a fixed measurement, proportion, or quota. In Exodus 5:8 it specifies the required tale of bricks that Israel must produce, a daily quota under Pharaoh's oppression. The Exodus 30 passages apply it to the sacred anointing oil's exact composition, which must not be replicated. Ezekiel 45:11 uses it for the standardized proportion between ephah and bath. Spanish 'proporcion' and French 'proportion' mirror the standardization sense faithfully.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A fixed measurement, quota, or proper proportion applied to manufactured goods, sacred recipes, or architectural standards. Exodus 5:8 uses it for the mandated brick quota under Egyptian slavery, while Exodus 30:32, 37 stipulate the exact composition-standard for holy anointing oil. In 2 Chronicles 24:13 it refers to the temple's original measurement or design specification during Joash's restoration. Ezekiel 45:11 applies it to the proportional relationship between dry and liquid measures. The multilingual evidence ('cantidad,' 'proporcion,' 'proportion') underscores the sense of a defined, authoritative standard. 5×
