Subjects in this Topic:
KESITAH is given in RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] as the Heb. word rendered ‘piece of money’ in the three passages Gen_33:19, Jos_24:32, and Job_42:11. No clue has yet been found to the weight, and therefore the value, of the kesitah; but that it was an ingot of precious metal of a recognized value is more probable than the tradition represented by several ancient versions, which render it by ‘lamb.’
