Quintal (Metric) [cwt]


The metric quintal is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms. It is widely used in agriculture and commerce for measuring bulk goods like grains, produce, and livestock feed.


Though called "quintal," it differs from other regional versions like the British hundredweight (cwt). In some countries, especially those using the metric system, the quintal serves as a convenient intermediate unit between kilograms and metric tons.


Summary:



  • 1 metric quintal = 100 kg



  • Common in farming and trade for easy large-quantity measurements




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
