Units explained
Gerah (Biblical Hebrew)
The gerah was the smallest Hebrew weight, about 0.57 gram (one-twentieth of a shekel).
From a Hebrew word for a small grain or bean.
Ancient Israelite metrology.
Part of the smallest divisions of the biblical shekel.
Kilogram-force square second/meter
The kilogram-force second-squared per meter (the hyl or TME) is about 9.807 kg.
The mass unit of the metric gravitational (technical) system.
Older continental European engineering practice.
Used in the metric technical system before SI adoption.
