Kesitah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kesitah - (Genesis 33:19, RSV, marg., a Hebrew word, rendered, A.V., pl. "pieces of money," marg., "lambs;" Joshua 24:32, "pieces of silver;" Job 42:11, "piece of money").

The kesitah was probably a piece of money of a particular weight, cast in the form of a lamb. The monuments of Egypt show that such weights were used.
