Gamma


The gamma (γ) is a very small unit of mass used mainly in geophysics, soil science, and radiology. It is equivalent to one microgram (1 µg) or 10⁻⁶ grams.


The term "gamma" is often used to express trace amounts of substances or contaminants in samples, helping scientists measure extremely small quantities with precision.


Summary:



  • 1 gamma = 1 microgram = 10⁻⁶ grams



  • Used in soil science, geophysics, and radiological measurements



  • Ideal for quantifying very tiny masses


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
