BILL . 1 . In the parable of the Unjust Steward ( Luke 16:6 f.) ‘bill,’ RV [Note: Revised Version.] better bond , renders the Gr. grammata , the equivalent of the contemporary Heb. legal term shetâr (lit. ‘writing’), an acknowledgment of goods or money received written and signed by the debtor himself ( Baba bathra X. 8). Edersheim’s statement ( Life and Times of Jesus , ii. 272) that the Gr. word was adopted into Hebrew is based on a false reading. See, further, Debt. 2 . Bill of divorce; see Marriage.
