About these units
Kilogram (kg)
The kilogram is the base unit of mass in the SI system and the only SI unit defined directly by a fundamental constant rather than a physical object. Originally, its definition was tied to a platinum–iridium artifact stored in France—the famous "International Prototype Kilogram." Over time, tiny mass changes in the prototype and its official copies created difficulties for high-precision science. In 2019, the kilogram was redefined using Planck's constant, linking mass to the laws of quantum physics through the Kibble balance. This innovation ensures universality, stability, and reproducibility across the world. The kilogram is central to commerce, science, engineering, and every quantitative field dealing with matter. Its decimal relationships with other metric units (grams, milligrams, tons) make it universally convenient. From groceries to spacecraft mass budgets, the kilogram anchors modern mass measurement.
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.
