  Balance
     occurs in Lev. 19:36 and Isa. 46:6, as the rendering of the
     Hebrew _kanch'_, which properly means "a reed" or "a cane," then
     a rod or beam of a balance. This same word is translated
     "measuring reed" in Ezek. 40:3,5; 42:16-18. There is another
     Hebrew word, _mozena'yim_, i.e., "two poisers", also so rendered
     (Dan. 5:27). The balances as represented on the most ancient
     Egyptian monuments resemble those now in use. A "pair of
     balances" is a symbol of justice and fair dealing (Job 31:6; Ps.
     62:9; Prov. 11:1). The expression denotes great want and
     scarcity in Rev. 6:5.
     

  Balance \Bal"ance\ (b[a^]l"ans), n. [OE. balaunce, F. balance,

        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: In its simplest form, a balance consists of a beam or

           scales or basins of equal weight suspended from its

           our steelyard, consisting of a lever or beam, suspended
           near one of its extremities, on the longer arm of which
           a counterpoise slides. The name is also given to other
           forms of apparatus for weighing bodies, as to the
           combinations of levers making up platform scales; and
           even to devices for weighing by the elasticity of a
           spring.

  BALANCE, com. law. The amount which remains due by one of two persons, who 
  have been dealing together, to the other, after the settlement of their 
  accounts. 
       2. In the case of mutual debts, the balance only can be recovered by 
  the assignee of an insolvent, or the executor of a deceased person. But this 
  mutuality must have existed at the time of the assignment by the insolvent, 
  or at the death of the testator. 
       3. The term general balance is sometimes used to signify the difference 
  which is due to a party claiming a lien on goods in his hands, for work or 
  labor done, or money expended in relation to those and other goods of the 
  debtor. 3 B. & P. 485; 3 Esp. R. 268.
