Senses in use

  1. Specified quantity or prescribed measure · dominant

    All five occurrences are construct-form nouns in contexts of a defined standard. In Exodus 5:8 the APB renders the required brick output as “the tally of the bricks”; in Exodus 30:32 and Exodus 30:37 it renders clauses limiting a preparation made according to “its tally” or “its proportion.” In 2 Chronicles 24:13 and Ezekiel 45:11, the APB describes restoration set “upon its measure” and capacities governed by a corresponding “tally.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies its presentation among “tally,” “proportion,” “measure,” and “quantity.” These renderings show the verses’ contexts rather than establishing separate meanings.
