The meaning of Tale in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
Heb. tokhen, "a task," as weighed and measured out = tally, i.e., the number told off; the full number (Exodus 5:18; see I Samuel 18:27; I Chronicles 9:28). In Ezekiel 45:11 rendered "measure."
Heb. hegeh, "a thought;" "meditation" (Psalms 90:9); meaning properly "as a whisper of sadness," which is soon over, or "as a thought." The LXX. and Vulgate render it "spider;" the Authorized Version and Revised Version, "as a tale" that is told. In Job 37:2 this word is rendered "sound;" Revised Version margin, "muttering;" and in Ezekiel 2:10, "mourning."
