資料來源(11): Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]

  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.
