About these units
Stone (US) (st (US))
The US stone was an informal and nonstandardized unit occasionally used in the 19th century, with no single agreed-upon value. Unlike the British stone (14 pounds), the US stone varied regionally and by trade context, typically ranging from 12 to 16 pounds, depending on the commodity and location. Farmers, butchers, and merchants sometimes used stones to weigh produce, meat, or livestock, but the lack of uniform regulation prevented it from becoming an official or widely adopted unit. Today, the US stone is entirely obsolete, but references to it appear in historical American trade documents, agricultural records, and pre-standardization weight systems. It serves as a reminder of the diversity of early American measurements before the widespread adoption of the avoirdupois pound.
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.
