What is a Biblical Hebrew talent?

The Biblical Hebrew talent, or kikkar, is an ancient mass unit used in Israel and the Near East, commonly estimated at about 34 kilograms, representing large quantities of metals and other goods.

Can I use this conversion for everyday weighing?

No, the conversion is mainly for historical, archaeological, or academic use due to the significant size difference and small decimal results.
