**The whole BDB entry:** n. sufficiency (der. obscure: Aramaic מִיסַּת, ܡܶܣܰܬ, common in 𝔗 𝔖, both absol. and cstr., in sense of sufficiency, enough; e.g. for Heb. רַב 2 S 24:16 𝔗, דַּי Ex 36:7 𝔗 𝔖, Ob 5 𝔗 𝔖, for לְפִי Ex 12:4 𝔖; ܡܶܣܰܬ ܚܰܘܒܬܳܐ the amount of the debt, PS2183);—Dt 16:10 and thou shalt keep the pilgrimage of weeks מִסַּת נִדְבַת יָֽדְךָ according to (adv. acc.) the sufficiency of the free-will offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give, i.e. with the full amount that thou canst afford (cf. דֵּי שֶׂה Lv 5:7; 12:8; 𝔗 כְּמִיסַּת אִימְּרָא).
