What is a gerah in Biblical Hebrew?

A gerah is an ancient mass unit equal to one twentieth of a shekel, used in biblical accounting and law, roughly corresponding to about 0.57–0.7 grams.

What does Planck mass represent?

Planck mass is the fundamental mass scale in Planck units significant in quantum gravity and high-energy physics, approximately 2.176434×10^−8 kg.

Why convert gerah to Planck mass?

Converting gerah to Planck mass helps relate ancient weight measures to fundamental physical constants, useful in archaeology, history, and theoretical physics research.
