Kesitah:
(Gen 33:19, R.V., marg., a Hebrew word, rendered, A.V., pl. "pieces of money," marg., "lambs; Jos 24:32, "pieces of silver; Job 42:11, "piece of money"). The kesitah was probably a piece of money of a particular weight, cast in the form of a lamb. The monuments of Egypt show that such weights were used. (See PIECES.)
Kesitah:
kes'-i-ta, ke-se'-ta (qesiTah).
Pieces:
(1) of silver. In Psa 68:30 denotes "fragments," and not properly money. In 1Sa 2:36 (Heb. agorah), properly a "small sum" as wages, weighed rather than coined. Jos 24:32 (Heb. kesitah, q.v.), supposed by some to have been a piece of money bearing the figure of a lamb, but rather simply a certain amount. (Gen 33:19).
(2.) The word pieces is omitted in many passages, as Gen. 20:16; 37:28; 45:22, etc. The passage in Zec 11:12, 13 is quoted in the Gospel (Mat 26:15), and from this we know that the word to be supplied is "shekels." In all these omissions we may thus warrantably supply this word.
(3.) The "piece of money" mentioned in (Mat 17:27) is a stater=a Hebrew shekel, or four Greek drachmae; and that in Luke (Luk 15:8,9; Act 19:19), a Greek drachma=a denarius. (See PENNY.)
