'Talent' in the Bible

And he also that had received the one talent coming to him said, My lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered,

and being afraid I went away and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast that which is thine.

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that has the ten talents:

and a great hail, as of a talent weight, comes down out of the heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, for the plague of it is exceeding great.
