What is a mina in Biblical Hebrew?

A mina is an ancient unit of mass used in Biblical Hebrew times to weigh precious metals and goods, with mass estimates generally between 0.5 and 1.0 kilograms.

Why convert mina to proton mass?

Converting mina to proton mass bridges ancient mass units with fundamental physical constants, aiding research in archaeology, physics, and historical studies.

Are conversions from mina to proton mass exact?

No, because the mina’s exact mass varied regionally and over time, conversions are approximate and used mainly for interpretive or theoretical purposes.
