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. The gerah illustrates the fine-grained precision required for temple rituals and daily commerce in the ancient Near East.
Shekel (Biblical Hebrew) (shekel)
The shekel, approximately 11.3 grams, is the foundational Hebrew weight unit, originally used for silver-based transactions long before it became a monetary term. In Biblical contexts, shekels represent wages, prices, fines, and sacrificial offerings. The shekel's mass-based origins mean that early shekel "coins" were actually weighed pieces of silver rather than minted currency. The modern Israeli currency's name (the New Israeli Shekel) preserves the ancient term, linking present-day society to its deep historical roots.
