What Is This Tool?

This converter facilitates the transformation of weights measured in bekan, a smaller Biblical Hebrew unit, into mina, a larger mass unit used historically in ancient Near Eastern measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the weight value in bekan units that you want to convert.
  • Select the target unit as mina (Biblical Hebrew).
  • Initiate the conversion to receive the equivalent weight in mina.

Key Features

  • Converts weight values from bekan (half-shekel unit) to mina (larger mass measurement).
  • Supports understanding of ancient Biblical and Near Eastern weight standards.
  • Browser-based and easy to use for scholars, archaeologists, and numismatists.

Examples

  • 20 bekan converts to 0.20 mina
  • 100 bekan converts to 1 mina

Common Use Cases
