Reduced to English troy-weight, the Hebrew weights were:
The gerah ( Leviticus 27:25 ; Numbers 3:47 ), a Hebrew word, meaning a grain or kernel, and hence a small weight. It was the twentieth part of a shekel, and equal to 12 grains.
Bekah ( Exodus 38:26 ), meaning "a half" i.e., "half a shekel," equal to 5 pennyweight.
Ma'neh, "a part" or "portion" ( Ezekiel 45:12 ), equal to 60 shekels, i.e., to 2 lbs. 6 oz.
Talent of silver ( 2 Kings 5:22 ), equal to 3,000 shekels, i.e., 125 lbs.
Talent of gold ( Exodus 25:39 ), double the preceding, i.e., 250 lbs.
