A dekagram (dag) is a metric unit of mass equal to 10 grams, used for everyday small weights.

What is the mina in Biblical Hebrew measurement?

The mina is an ancient Near Eastern unit of mass used in Biblical times for weighing precious metals and goods, with variable regional standards.

Why is the mina's weight variable?

The mina's mass changed depending on region and era, so conversion results are approximate based on modern estimates.

Can I use this converter for precise scientific work?

No, because the mina’s historical variability limits the precision of conversions for scientific purposes.
