Bekan (Biblical Hebrew)


The bekan (also spelled bēqān) was an ancient Hebrew unit of weight mentioned in the Bible. It is generally understood to be half a shekel in weight.


Since a shekel weighed about 11 grams, the bekan would be approximately 5.5 grams. It was used mainly for weighing precious metals, especially silver, in trade and offerings.


Summary:



  • Equal to half a shekel (~5.5 grams)



  • Used in ancient Hebrew commerce and religious contexts



  • Important for measuring silver and other valuables




It looks like you mentioned "pound-force square second per foot". This is a compound unit that can be broken down into:



  • pound-force (lbf): a unit of force



  • square second (s²): time squared



  • per foot (ft⁻¹): per unit length



What does this unit represent?


It could be a unit for something like mass or inertia-related quantities in imperial units, depending on context. For example, it might show up in equations involving force, time, and length — possibly in mechanics or engineering.



To understand or convert it:



  1. Pound-force (lbf) is a force unit, where:



1 lbf=4.44822 N1\, \text{lbf} = 4.44822\, \text{N}

  1. Second squared (s²) is just time squared.



  2. Foot (ft) is length:



1 ft=0.3048 m1\, \text{ft} = 0.3048\, \text{m}

Example usage


If you want to convert pound-force square second per foot (lbf⋅s2/ft)(\text{lbf} \cdot \text{s}^2/\text{ft}) into SI units:


lbf⋅s2/ft→Newton⋅s2/meter\text{lbf} \cdot \text{s}^2/\text{ft} \rightarrow \text{Newton} \cdot \text{s}^2/\text{meter}

Since


1 lbf=4.44822 N,1 ft=0.3048 m1\, \text{lbf} = 4.44822\, \text{N}, \quad 1\, \text{ft} = 0.3048\, \text{m}
1 lbf⋅s2ft=4.44822 N⋅s20.3048 m≈14.6 N⋅s2m1\, \frac{\text{lbf} \cdot \text{s}^2}{\text{ft}} = \frac{4.44822\, \text{N} \cdot \text{s}^2}{0.3048\, \text{m}} \approx 14.6\, \frac{\text{N} \cdot \text{s}^2}{\text{m}}

Could you tell me more about where or how you want to use this unit? That would help me give a more specific explanation or conversion!
