pen´shun (1 Esdras 4:56, the King James Version "and he commanded to give to all that kept the city pensions and wages"; κλῆρος , klḗros , "allotted portion," usually (here certainly) of lands (the Revised Version (British and American) "lands")): Literally it means simply "payment," and the King James Version seems to have used the word in order to avoid any specialization of klēros . There is no reference to payment for past services. See LOT .
