qe.si.tah denotes a monetary piece used in a field purchase and in an individual gift.

Senses in use

  1. Monetary piece in payment or gift · dominant

    In Genesis 33:19 and Joshua 24:32, the singular absolute form occurs in the clause describing a field purchased for a hundred such pieces; the APB renders the payment as "a hundred pieces of money." In Job 42:11, each visitor gives Job one such piece alongside a gold ring, and the APB renders this as "one piece of money."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all three verses, the APB presents the term with "pieces of money" or "one piece of money." These renderings confirm the monetary setting without isolating every detail of the Hebrew term.
