(Genesis 33:19, R.V., marg., a Hebrew word, rendered, A.V., pi. “pieces of money,” marg., “lambs;” Joshua 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.)
