6. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Balance
occurs in Lev. 19:36 and Isa. 46:6, as the rendering of the
Hebrew _kanch'_, which properly means "a reed" or "a cane," then
a rod or beam of a balance. This same word is translated
"measuring reed" in Ezek. 40:3,5; 42:16-18. There is another
Hebrew word, _mozena'yim_, i.e., "two poisers", also so rendered
(Dan. 5:27). The balances as represented on the most ancient
Egyptian monuments resemble those now in use. A "pair of
balances" is a symbol of justice and fair dealing (Job 31:6; Ps.
62:9; Prov. 11:1). The expression denotes great want and
scarcity in Rev. 6:5.

7. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |

2. In the case of mutual debts, the balance only can be recovered by
the assignee of an insolvent, or the executor of a deceased person. But this

3. The term general balance is sometimes used to signify the difference
which is due to a party claiming a lien on goods in his hands, for work or
labor done, or money expended in relation to those and other goods of the
debtor. 3 B. & P. 485; 3 Esp. R. 268.
