What is a mina (Biblical Hebrew)?

It is an ancient Near Eastern unit of mass noted in Biblical Hebrew texts, used for weighing precious metals and goods, with weight standards that varied over time and region.

What does the stone (US) represent in mass units?

The stone is a traditional British mass unit equal to 14 pounds or exactly 6.35029318 kilograms, used historically for human and commodity weights, and occasionally recognized in US contexts.

Why might conversions between mina and stone not be exact?

Because the mina's true mass changed depending on region and era, and the stone (US) is infrequently used in America, conversions serve as approximations rather than precise calculations.
