About these units
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.
Dekagram (dag)
A dekagram, equal to 10 grams, is used more commonly in parts of Europe, particularly in culinary contexts such as baking or meat sales. Its size is practical for recipes, nutrition labeling, and small food packages. It avoids large numbers in grams without jumping to the heftier hectogram or kilogram. While less familiar in English-speaking countries, the dekagram is valued in regions where metric cooking traditions are strong.
