Usage: This term is used in the context of measuring or holding a quantity that can be contained within the palm of the hand. It is often used to describe a small, manageable amount. Context: The Hebrew word שֹׁעַל (sho'al) appears in the context of describing a measure that can be held in the palm of the hand. This term is indicative of a small, specific quantity, often used in agricultural or ritual contexts. The concept of the palm as a measure is rooted in the practical use of the hand as a tool for measuring and holding. In the ancient Near Eastern culture, the hand was a common unit of measure, reflecting the agrarian lifestyle where precise measurements were often less critical than practical, everyday measures. The palm, or handful, represents a personal and immediate measure, emphasizing the human scale of interaction with the material world.
