What is a mina (Biblical Hebrew)?

It is an ancient Near Eastern unit of mass found in Biblical Hebrew texts, used historically for weighing precious metals and goods, with a mass estimated roughly between 0.5 and 1 kilogram.

What does exagram [Eg] represent?

An exagram is an SI-derived mass unit equal to 10 to the 18th power grams, used to express very large masses such as those of astronomical bodies or large-scale global materials.

Why convert mina to exagram?

Converting from mina to exagram helps integrate ancient mass data into modern scientific fields that work with large mass quantities, facilitating comparative and large-scale analyses.

What Is This Tool?

This tool helps you convert weights measured in mina (Biblical Hebrew), an ancient mass unit, into exagram [Eg], a modern SI-derived unit representing very large masses. It’s useful for interpreting historical data and integrating it with global-scale scientific measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in mina (Biblical Hebrew) units.
Select mina as the source unit and exagram [Eg] as the target unit.
Initiate the conversion to get the corresponding mass in exagrams.
Review the results for use in historical or scientific analysis.

Key Features

Converts ancient mina units to exagram with a consistent formula.
Supports understanding of historical and modern mass unit relations.
Enables integration of archaeological and astronomical mass data.
Provides example conversions based on accepted conversion rates.

Examples

10 mina (Biblical Hebrew) equals 5.7e-15 exagram [Eg].
100 mina (Biblical Hebrew) equals 5.7e-14 exagram [Eg].

Common Use Cases

Interpreting biblical and ancient texts referencing silver, gold, or tribute weights.
Comparing excavated ancient weights to modern standards in archaeology and metrology.
Estimating masses of metal artifacts for numismatics and conservation research.
Expressing planetary-scale or global mass quantities in scientific contexts.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the historical context when using mina to account for regional variations.
Use the tool primarily for comparative or scientific analysis rather than everyday measurements.
Cross-reference results with archaeological or scientific data for accuracy.
Be mindful that exagram values will be very small due to the large scale of the unit.

Limitations

The mina's exact mass standard changed over time and regions, so conversions are approximate.
Exagram is suited for extremely large masses, making conversions yield tiny decimal results.
Not practical for everyday weight or mass measurements due to scale differences.
