Pound.

1. A weight. See Weights and Measures.

2. A sum of money put in the Old Testament, 1 Kings 10:17; Ezra 2:69; Nehemiah 7:71, for the Hebrew, maneh, worth in silver about $25.00. In the parable of the ten pounds, Luke 19:12-27, the reference appears to be to a Greek pound, a weight used as a money of account, of which sixty went to the talent. It was worth $15.00 to $17.00.
