A kilogram is the SI base unit of mass representing the amount of matter in an object, defined by the Planck constant since 2019.

What is the talent in Biblical Hebrew context?

The talent is an ancient unit of mass used in Israel and the Near East, roughly equal to 34 kilograms, used mainly for large quantities of precious metals and bulk goods.

Is the conversion from kilogram to talent exact?

No, the conversion is based on an estimated average value since the talent varied historically and was not a fixed unit.
