Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Brian wrote:In the section "Mass and Weight Conversion, Biblical", you calculate that 60 shekels equals 1.5 pounds. However Ezekiel 45:12 states that a pound equals 60 shekels. Therefore it appears that your calculations are off.
The contemporary unit of pound was defined many years later then the Bible was written. Unfortunately the old units were rarely standardized. In various places the same units could differ substantially. That's why it's very hard if at all possible to provide reliable conversion from old biblical units to current ones.
