Shekel (Biblical Hebrew)

The shekel (Biblical Hebrew) is an ancient unit of weight and currency used in biblical times, primarily for measuring silver and other precious metals.

History/Origin

Originating in ancient Mesopotamia, the shekel was used as a standard weight and currency in the ancient Near East, notably in biblical Israel. Its weight varied over time and region, but it generally represented a specific mass used for trade and taxation.

Current Use

Today, the shekel is the official currency of Israel (Israeli New Shekel), but the biblical shekel as a unit of weight is no longer in use. The term is primarily historical and religious in context.


Stone (Uk)

A stone (st) is a British unit of weight equal to 14 pounds avoirdupois, primarily used for measuring body weight.

History/Origin

The stone has origins in medieval England, where it was used as a practical unit of weight for trade and commerce. Its use has persisted in the UK for measuring human body weight, despite the metric system's adoption elsewhere.

Current Use

Today, the stone is still commonly used in the UK and Ireland for personal weight measurement, especially in the context of health and fitness, although it is largely replaced by kilograms in official and international contexts.
