fourth part, quarter; one of four equal divisions
This noun denotes a fourth part or quarter of something. In Numbers 23:10, Balaam speaks of seeing 'the fourth part of Israel'—either a quarter of the population or the dust of their multitude, emphasizing Israel's vast numbers. In 2 Kings 6:25, during the siege of Samaria, famine drove prices so high that a quarter-kab of dove's dung sold for five shekels—illustrating desperate economic collapse. The term functions as a fractional measurement in both demographic and commercial contexts.

1. sense 1 — Translation is consistent: Spanish 'cuarta parte,' English 'fourth/quarter,' French 'quatrième/quarter,' German 'vierter/quarter.' Numbers 23:10 uses the fraction to convey Israel's countless multitude—even a quarter exceeds counting. 2 Kings 6:25 uses it as a standard dry measure (quarter of a kab) to show how even tiny amounts of worthless material commanded extortionate prices during starvation conditions. Both demonstrate fractional division for emphasis. 2×
