1336

Strong’s #3530, kibrat. Feminine. Great one? This is a word for a certain measure just as many other words denote measure, weight, and time. But it is unknown what the measure is from the three occurrences (Gen. 35:16, 48:7, 2 Kin. 5:19). A clue might be found in the root kabar (#3527) which means to plait, braid. See Gesenius.
