Senses in use

  1. A small unit of silver · dominant

    In 1 Samuel 2:36, the construct singular noun occurs in the request that those left in the house will bring before him. The APB renders the clause "for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread," placing the silver amount beside bread and the plea for a priestly office.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Samuel 2:36, the APB presents the term within "a piece of silver and a loaf of bread." That wording confirms the clause's setting rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
