'Allowance' in the Bible

and his allowance -- a continual allowance -- hath been given to him from the king, the matter of a day in its day, all days of his life.

Better is an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.

And his allowance -- a continual allowance -- hath been given to him by the king of Babylon, the matter of a day in its day, till the day of his death -- all days of his life.
