Gods Scales Weigh A King

• Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found
  wantingFor all have sinned, and come short of
  the glory of God. Daniel 527, Romans 323

2
The Facts, Please.

• A scale is a device for determining the weight of
  any substance. All types of weighing scales are
  based on the principle of balance.

3
More Facts, Please.

• The balance scale probably originated in ancient
  Egypt about five thousand years before Christ.
  The very first balance scales may have suspended
  a beam of wood by hanging it from a cord. Later,
  the crossbeam was supported in the middle by a
  vertical bar. Two pans of equal weight were hung
  on either end of the crossbeam.

4
More Facts, Please.

• A known weight was placed in one pan, and the
  object to be weighed was put in the other. By
  adding or subtracting known weight until both
  sides were balanced, the weight of the object
  could be learned. If a balance scale crossbeam
  tilts down on the side of the known weight, the
  object being weighed is too light. If it tilts
  the other way, the ofject is too heavy.

More Facts, Please.

• Balance scales are mentioned in several places in
  the Bible, going back to Jobs and Moses times.
  They are still in use today, with very little
  change.
