fourth
re.va marks a fourth-based unit or grouping in offerings, a silver amount, movement, and measured structures.
The supplied verses place the term in construct-form expressions concerning a silver amount and offering measures, as well as movement and the dimensions of an altar and enclosure; the APB presents these contexts with quarter quantities or four-sided language, though it does not align individual English words to the Hebrew term.

The masculine construct forms occur in clauses about a silver amount in 1 Samuel 9:8 and offering measures in Exodus 29:40, and also in descriptions of movement and measured structures in Ezekiel 1:8, Ezekiel 1:17, Ezekiel 10:11, Ezekiel 43:16, and Ezekiel 43:17. In these verses the APB renders the surrounding contexts with “a quarter shekel,” “a quarter of the hin,” and language about “four sides,”.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the quantity contexts with “a quarter shekel” and “a quarter of the hin,” while the Ezekiel contexts use “four sides.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings identify the verse contexts rather than assigning an exact English equivalent to every token.
