'Allowance' in the Bible

and for his allowance, a regular allowance was given him by the king, a portion for each day, all the days of his life.

Moreover, from the day that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, for twelve years, neither I nor my kinsmen have eaten the governor’s food allowance.

Now that which was prepared for each day was one ox and six choice sheep, also birds were prepared for me; and once in ten days all sorts of wine were furnished in abundance. Yet for all this I did not demand the governor’s food allowance, because the servitude was heavy on this people.

For his allowance, a regular allowance was given him by the king of Babylon, a daily portion all the days of his life until the day of his death.
