Deal
del: The noun deal is not found in the Revised Version (British and American). The King James Version translation of , issaron, the tenth deal (Exo 29:40; Lev 14:10, et al.) is rendered uniformly the tenth part in the Revised Version (British and American) (see WEIGHTS AND MEASURES). The verb to deal often means to apportion, to distribute (compare 2Sa 6:19; 1Ch 16:3; Isa 58:7; Rom 12:3), but more frequently it is used in the sense of to act to do, to have transaction of any kind with. In the Psalms to deal always means to confer benefit, to deal bountifully, with the exception of Psa 105:25, where it means to deal subtly with. The expression to deal, i.e. to be engaged in, is not found in the Scriptures. The translation of , sugchraomai, in Joh 4:9, Jews have no dealings with Samaritans, conveys the idea that they have nothing in common.
