Shekel (Biblical Hebrew)
The shekel (Biblical Hebrew) is an ancient unit of weight and currency used in biblical times, primarily for measuring silver and other precious metals.
History/Origin
Originating in ancient Mesopotamia, the shekel was used as a standard weight and currency in the ancient Near East, notably in biblical Israel. Its weight varied over time and region, but it generally represented a specific mass used for trade and taxation.
Current Use
Today, the shekel is the official currency of Israel (Israeli New Shekel), but the biblical shekel as a unit of weight is no longer in use. The term is primarily historical and religious in context.
Lepton (Biblical Roman)
A lepton is a small, lightweight unit of weight used in the Biblical Roman system, historically representing a very small amount of mass.
History/Origin
The lepton originated in ancient Roman and biblical contexts as a minimal unit of weight, often used in religious and commercial transactions to denote small quantities. Its usage has declined with the advent of modern measurement systems.
Current Use
Today, the lepton is primarily of historical and academic interest, with limited practical application in contemporary measurement systems or conversions.
