Mina (Biblical Hebrew)

The mina was an ancient Hebrew unit of weight used during Biblical times, primarily for precious metals like silver and gold. It was smaller than the talent and often used as a subunit.

A mina is generally estimated to weigh about 1/60 of a talent, roughly 1 pound (about 0.5 kilograms), though exact values varied by region and era.

The mina was commonly used for trade, taxation, and wealth measurement in ancient Near Eastern economies.
