What is a talent (Biblical Hebrew)?

The talent (Biblical Hebrew) is an ancient mass unit used in Israel and the Near East, commonly estimated at about 34 kilograms and traditionally defined as 3,000 shekels.

A slug is a mass unit in the Imperial/US customary system defined as the mass accelerated by 1 ft/s² with a net force of one pound-force, approximately equal to 14.5939 kilograms.

Why convert talent to slug?

Converting talent to slug helps link ancient mass measurements to modern US customary engineering and physics applications such as dynamics and inertial calculations.
