What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms weights from the ancient shekel used in Biblical Hebrew texts into the metric quintal, a unit measuring bulk mass. It is designed for users interested in relating historical units to modern metric measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in shekels (Biblical Hebrew) into the input field.
  • Select the target unit as quintal (metric) [cwt].
  • Click the convert button to get the result in metric quintals.
  • Review examples to understand typical conversions.
  • Use results for research, comparison, or educational purposes.

Key Features

  • Convert ancient shekel units to metric quintals with a simple interface.
  • Supports historical and modern mass units useful for scholars and researchers.
  • Browser-based tool accessible without installation.
  • Includes examples for quick understanding.
  • Provides contextual information about unit usage and definitions.

Examples

  • 10 shekels (Biblical Hebrew) converts to 0.00114 quintal (metric) [cwt].
  • 100 shekels (Biblical Hebrew) equals 0.0114 quintal (metric) [cwt].

Common Use Cases

  • Analyzing ancient temple contributions and census taxes recorded in Biblical texts.
  • Interpreting silver and metal payments in ancient Israelite trade and legal contracts.
  • Comparing historical weights for archaeological and biblical scholarship.
  • Reporting bulk agricultural commodity weights in metric quintals for trade or statistics.
  • Facilitating modern understanding of ancient mass units within historical research.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use the tool to approximate ancient weights within a modern metric framework.
  • Be aware that shekel weights varied historically and regionally, so consider conversions as estimates.
  • Do not confuse the metric quintal with traditional hundredweight units used in Britain or the US.
  • Apply conversions thoughtfully when comparing small shekel measures due to the large size of the quintal.
  • Use this conversion for educational, archaeological, or commercial analyses involving historical data.

Limitations

  • The shekel's actual mass varied across different times and locations making exact conversions approximate.
  • Converting small shekel amounts into large bulk quintal units results in very small fractional values.
  • The metric quintal differs from British and US hundredweight units, so care is needed to avoid confusion.
  • This tool does not reflect precision used in scientific or legal weight standards but historical approximation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a shekel (Biblical Hebrew)?
It is an ancient Near Eastern mass unit cited in Biblical Hebrew texts, traditionally equal to 20 gerahs and commonly estimated around 11.3 grams.

How much does one metric quintal weigh?
A metric quintal, also known as a metric centner, equals 100 kilograms and is used to measure bulk weights.

Can I use this converter for precise scientific measurements?
No, due to historical variation of the shekel mass and the large size of the quintal, conversions are approximations for contextual understanding.

Key Terminology

Shekel (Biblical Hebrew)
An ancient unit of mass used in Israelite commerce, estimated at about 11.3 grams and divided into 20 gerahs.
Quintal (metric) [cwt]
A metric unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms, used for measuring large bulk weights.
Gerah
A subdivision of the Biblical Hebrew shekel, where one shekel equals 20 gerahs.
Hundredweight (cwt)
Traditional units of mass differing by region: British long cwt is about 50.802 kg; US short cwt is about 45.359 kg, distinct from the metric quintal.
