What is a mina in Biblical Hebrew context?

A mina (also called maneh) is an ancient Near Eastern weight unit mentioned in Biblical Hebrew texts, used historically to weigh precious metals and large goods, with estimated modern equivalents around 0.5 to 1 kilogram.

What does a kiloton represent in this converter?

Here, a kiloton (kt) is defined as 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms, used to express very large masses.

Can this converter be used for explosive energy measurements?

No, this tool converts mass units only. Kiloton values referring to explosive energy represent a different measurement type and are not covered.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand the regional and historical variability of the mina unit before interpreting results.
Use the tool to relate ancient weights to contemporary mass units for comparative studies.
Avoid using this conversion for small quantities due to the very large size of a kiloton.
Be aware that kiloton values related to explosives measure energy, not mass, which differs from this context.

Limitations

The mina’s mass standard varied historically and regionally, making precise conversion approximate.
Kiloton units are much larger, so converted values are very small fractions, limiting practicality for small weights.
Kiloton used in explosive contexts refers to energy, not mass, so this tool strictly covers mass conversions.
