What is the mina (Biblical Hebrew) used for?

It is an ancient mass unit for weighing precious metals, recorded in Biblical Hebrew texts and used historically for large quantities of goods.

How small is one gamma unit?

One gamma equals one microgram, which is one millionth of a gram or one billionth of a kilogram.

Why convert from mina to gamma?

Converting helps relate ancient large mass units to tiny modern mass units, enabling detailed scientific and historical comparison.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure correct unit selection matching your data for accurate conversion
Use this tool for bridging ancient large-scale weights with modern micro-scale analysis
Apply conversions carefully considering regional and temporal variability of the mina
Account for very large numbers when expressing mina in gamma due to their scale difference

Limitations

The mina's exact weight differed by region and era, so conversions are approximate
Gamma units are very small, leading to large figures that may be difficult to interpret
Precision levels must suit the specific historical or scientific context of use
