( 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).
