<p> (מָנֶה, '' | <p> (מָנֶה, ''Maneh','' Ezekiel 45:12, a [[Portion]] as divided by weight; hence the Greek μνᾶ, a ''Mina;'' rendered "pound" in 1 Kings 10:17; Ezra 2:69; Nehemiah 7:21-22), a weight of ''A Hundred Shekels,'' as we gather from 1 Kings 10:17 (compare 2 Chronicles 9:16). Another and somewhat obscure specification is given in Ezekiel 45:12, "twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh;" spoken either of a triple maneh of twenty, twenty-five, and fifty shekels; or of a single maneh of sixty shekels, distributed into three parts of fifteen, twenty, and twenty-five. There are other explanations offered (as by the [[Chaldee]] paraphrast, by Jarchi, J. D. Michaelis, and others), but the latter is generally supposed to be the best. (See Weights). </p> | ||
