Gerah (Biblical Hebrew)

The gerah was the smallest unit of weight in ancient Biblical Hebrew measurement systems. It is traditionally considered 1/20 of a shekel.

Since a shekel weighed about 11 grams, a gerah would weigh roughly 0.55 grams. The gerah was used to measure small amounts of precious metals like silver and gold, important in commerce and religious rituals.

Summary:

• 
  

  1 gerah = 1/20 shekel ≈ 0.55 grams

  
  
• 
  

  Smallest Biblical Hebrew weight unit

  
  
•

Attogram [ag]

The attogram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-quintillionth of a gram.

• 
  

  1 attogram = 0.000000000000000001 grams = 10⁻¹⁸ grams

  
  
• 
  

  1 attogram = 10⁻²¹ kilograms

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Used in cutting-edge scientific fields like nanotechnology, physics, and molecular science

  
  
• 
  

  The prefix "atto-" means $10^{-18}$ (one quintillionth)

  
  
• 
  

  Enables measurement of extraordinarily tiny masses, such as single molecules or atoms

  
  

The attogram is vital for quantifying masses at the smallest scales currently measurable in science.
