Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [4]
PIECE . Piece is used in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] for (1) a measure equal to a firkin ( 1Es 8:20 ‘an hundred pieces of wine’); (2) an instrument of war ( 1Ma 6:51 ‘pieces to cast darts, and slings’).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [5]
pēs : In the King James Version the word (singular and plural) represents a large number of different Hebrew words, many of which have more or less the same significance, e.g. piece of meat or flesh ( Genesis 15:10; 2 Samuel 6:19; Ezekiel 24:4 ); of bread or cake ( 1 Samuel 2:36; 1 Samuel 30:12; Jeremiah 37:21 ); of ground or land ( 2 Samuel 23:11 ); of wall ( Nehemiah 3:11 , Nehemiah 3:19 ff); of an ear ( Amos 3:12 ); of cloth or garment ( 1 Kings 11:30 ); of millstone ( Judges 9:53 ). It is used frequently in paraphrastic renderings of various Hebrew verbs: "break," "tear," "cut," etc., in pieces ( Genesis 44:28 , etc.).
In the New Testament "piece" renders ἐπίβλημα , epı́blēma , "piece" or "patch of cloth" ( Matthew 9:16; Mark 2:21; Luke 5:36 ). It is also found in paraphrastic renderings - broken in pieces ( Mark 5:4 ), pulled in pieces ( Acts 23:10 ).
