A decigram is an SI-derived unit of mass equal to one tenth of a gram, useful for measuring small masses with finer detail than grams.

What does the biblical Hebrew mina represent?

The mina is an ancient unit of mass used in Near Eastern texts to weigh precious metals and goods, with its mass varying regionally over time.

Can I use this converter for scientific measurements?

This tool is designed mainly for interpretive and historical comparisons, as the mina is not standardized for exact scientific use.
