What Is This Tool?

This online converter allows you to translate weight measurements from the bekan, an ancient Biblical Hebrew unit representing half a shekel, into the US assay ton, a historical mining mass unit used to report precious metal content. The tool supports understanding and converting these historical and specialized units for scholarly and industrial purposes.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value you want to convert in the bekan unit field
  • Select bekan (Biblical Hebrew) as the input unit
  • Choose ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)] as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent weight
  • Review example conversions provided for reference

Key Features

  • Converts weight from bekan (Biblical Hebrew) to ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)]
  • Provides unit definitions for both ancient and modern measurements
  • Includes example calculations to illustrate conversions
  • Supports use in archaeology, Biblical studies, and mining industries
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation

Examples

  • 2 bekan (Biblical Hebrew) equals 0.3908570982 ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)]
  • 5 bekan (Biblical Hebrew) equals 0.9771427455 ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)]

Common Use Cases

  • Assessing the half-shekel temple tax or census contributions described in Biblical texts
  • Describing ancient prescribed silver amounts for offerings and legal payments
  • Analyzing ancient Hebrew silver weights in numismatic and archaeological research
  • Reporting precious-metal concentrations on assay certificates as ounces per assay ton
  • Calculating payments or settlements for ore shipments based on metal content
  • Normalizing historical assay data for resource estimation and comparison

Tips & Best Practices

  • Understand that the bekan's exact weight varies based on the shekel standard referenced
  • Specify the exact mass of the US assay ton to avoid ambiguity in modern contexts
  • Use the provided conversion factor carefully, recognizing historical variations
  • Cross-check conversions when dealing with archaeological or mining data
  • Apply conversions thoughtfully within the specific historical and industrial frameworks

Limitations

  • The bekan weight differs according to the referenced ancient shekel standard, impacting precision
  • The US assay ton's mass has varied historically and geographically, requiring context
  • Conversions assume general equivalences and may not represent exact mass due to variable definitions
  • Users should be aware of possible discrepancies when interpreting results in research or industry

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bekan in Biblical Hebrew?
The bekan is a Biblical Hebrew unit of weight representing half of a shekel, used in ancient texts mainly for silver weights and temple contributions.

What does the US assay ton represent?
The US assay ton is a historical mass unit used in mining and assaying to define sample weights for precious metals, with mass values varying by jurisdiction.

Why is the conversion between bekan and assay ton not exact?
Because both the bekan and the assay ton have varied historically and regionally in their exact masses, precise conversion requires specifying the standards used.

Key Terminology

Bekan (Biblical Hebrew)
An ancient weight unit equal to half a shekel, used in Biblical times primarily for silver tax and offerings.
Ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)]
A historical mining mass unit defining sample weight for reporting precious-metal content; its mass varies by jurisdiction and practice.
Conversion Rate
The factor used to translate a measurement in bekan to an equivalent mass in ton (assay) (US), here approximately 0.1954.
