Why is the shekel (Biblical Hebrew) mass approximate?

Shekel weights varied depending on historical period and region, so a standard estimated mass of 11.3 grams is used for conversion.

What fields benefit from converting shekels to electron rest mass units?

Archaeometry, quantum physics, particle physics, and historical metrology use this conversion to relate ancient weights to atomic-scale measurements.

Is this conversion practical for everyday commerce?

No, the conversion is mainly theoretical and suited for scientific and educational purposes, not for common measurement or trade.

Expresses results in electron mass units significant in particle and atomic physics
Facilitates cross-disciplinary scientific analysis bridging archaeology and physics

Examples

2 Shekels (Biblical Hebrew) converts to approximately 2.5029119129682 × 10^25 Electron mass (rest)
0.5 Shekel (Biblical Hebrew) converts to approximately 6.2572797824205 × 10^24 Electron mass (rest)

Common Use Cases

Assessing ancient temple contributions and historic tax weights in biblical studies
Analyzing ancient trade and payment amounts by translating shekel weights into atomic units
Supporting archaeometric and historical metrology research by bridging ancient and modern mass units
Applying unit conversion in quantum physics and particle physics for theoretical mass comparisons

Tips & Best Practices

Use scientific notation for handling large numbers resulting from the conversion
Consider historical context for shekel mass variations when interpreting results
Apply this conversion primarily for educational or scientific research rather than commercial purposes
Cross-check converted values when comparing across different fields like physics and archaeology

Limitations

Shekel mass values varied historically and regionally, so the conversion uses an approximate standard mass
Electron rest mass units are extremely small, resulting in very large conversion outputs that can be cumbersome
This conversion is theoretical and mainly intended for scientific or educational contexts rather than everyday use

Key Terminology

Shekel (Biblical Hebrew): An ancient unit of mass used in Israelite commerce and ritual, commonly estimated at about 11.3 grams.
Electron mass (rest): The invariant mass of a free electron in its rest frame, approximately 9.109 × 10^−31 kilograms.
Conversion Rate: The factor used to translate from one unit of measure to another; here, 1 Shekel equals approximately 1.2514559564841 × 10^25 Electron mass (rest).

Quick Knowledge Check
