About these units
Shekel (Biblical Hebrew) (shekel)
The shekel, approximately 11.3 grams, is the foundational Hebrew weight unit, originally used for silver-based transactions long before it became a monetary term. In Biblical contexts, shekels represent wages, prices, fines, and sacrificial offerings. The shekel's mass-based origins mean that early shekel "coins" were actually weighed pieces of silver rather than minted currency. The modern Israeli currency's name (the New Israeli Shekel) preserves the ancient term, linking present-day society to its deep historical roots.
Decigram (dg)
A decigram equals 1/10 of a gram and appears in older scientific literature, pharmaceutical compounding, and some food chemistry applications. Today, milligrams and grams are more common, but decigrams still offer practical value when describing masses that naturally fall between these scales, such as certain supplements or cosmetic ingredients. The decigram remains a reminder of the metric system's logical progression, offering users a consistent, scalable set of units.
