About these units
Bekan (Biblical Hebrew) (bekan)
The bekan (or beka) is a half-shekel unit, approximately 5.6 grams. It appears in the Hebrew Bible as the required contribution for the census tax, symbolizing equality among contributors regardless of wealth. As a practical unit, the beka was useful for small-scale offerings, jewelry, and silverwork. Its precise half-shekel value made it easy to incorporate into the larger Hebrew weight structure. The bekan highlights how weights were intertwined with religious observance and communal obligations in ancient Israelite society.
Centigram (cg)
A centigram, equal to 1/100 of a gram, is an intermediate unit not frequently encountered in everyday life but occasionally useful in laboratory settings and chemical formulations. Its size offers a compromise between the larger gram and the smaller milligram, especially in contexts like dietetics, powdered chemicals, or small-scale industrial ingredients. Though not widely used, the centigram's value lies in its flexibility—providing a metric option for moderate precision without resorting to decimals.
