What is a dalton used for?

A dalton is a unit of mass equal to one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom, commonly used to express atomic and molecular masses in chemistry and biochemistry.

What does the bekan represent in biblical terms?

The bekan is a biblical Hebrew unit of weight roughly equal to half a shekel, used historically for temple taxes and offerings as described in biblical texts.

Why are conversions between daltons and bekans very small?

Because the dalton is an atomic-scale unit of mass and the bekan is an ancient weight on the order of grams, the conversion results in extremely small decimal values.

Key Terminology

Dalton (Da): A unit of mass equal to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, used to express atomic and molecular masses.
Bekan (Biblical Hebrew): A biblical Hebrew unit of weight considered half a shekel, used historically for temple taxes and silver offerings.
Shekel: An ancient unit of weight and currency in the Hebrew Bible; the bekan is half of this measure.
