About these units
Gerah (Biblical Hebrew) (gerah)
A gerah, approximately 0.57 grams, is the smallest unit in the Hebrew weight system. 1 shekel = 20 gerahs Gerahs were used for minute quantities of precious metals or spices for ritual purposes. Biblical texts refer to gerahs in the context of sanctuary offerings and priestly duties.

Bekan (Biblical Hebrew) (bekan)
The bekan (or beka) is a half-shekel unit, approximately 5.6 grams. It appears in the Hebrew Bible as the required contribution for the census tax, symbolizing equality among contributors regardless of wealth.

The bekan highlights how weights were intertwined with religious observance and communal obligations in ancient Israelite society.
