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.
Hectogram (hg)
A hectogram equals 100 grams and is common in food markets in Italy, Greece, and parts of Latin America. Consumers often purchase cheese, cold cuts, or dry goods in hectograms because it provides a comfortable scale—neither too large nor too small. In scientific contexts, hectograms sometimes appear in hydrology, meteorology, or soil science, where medium quantities are more intuitively expressed using this unit. Though overshadowed globally by the kilogram, the hectogram survives where cultural habits align with metric logic.
