Balance, scale, weighing device (Proverbs 16:11; Isaiah 40:12)
This noun refers to a balance or weighing scale, always appearing alongside the more common term for scales (mo'znayim). Proverbs 16:11 speaks of honest scales and balances belonging to the Lord—emphasizing commercial integrity. Isaiah 40:12 uses it rhetorically: who has weighed mountains in scales and hills in a balance? The answer: only God, highlighting his incomparable power.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A weighing instrument, specifically a scale or balance used in commerce or rhetoric. Spanish 'balanza' and French 'péles' (scale) identify this measuring device. Both passages pair it with standard scales terminology, suggesting this may be a specific part (the beam?) or a poetic synonym. Isaiah's cosmic imagery makes the literal commercial tool into a metaphor for divine sovereignty. 2×
