However, the concept of weights and measures can be related to Greek terms like "δραχμή" (drachma) or "μνᾶ" (mina), which were used in the Greek world.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "gerah" refers to a small unit of weight and currency used in ancient Israel. Specifically, it is the smallest weight in the Hebrew system, equivalent to one-twentieth of a shekel. The gerah is often mentioned in the context of the tabernacle and temple offerings, as well as in legal and commercial transactions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, weights and measures were crucial for trade, religious offerings, and legal matters. The gerah, as the smallest unit, played a significant role in ensuring fairness and precision in these activities. The use of standardized weights like the gerah reflects the Israelites' commitment to justice and integrity, as commanded in the Torah. The gerah's equivalence to a small weight also symbolizes humility and the importance of even the smallest contributions in the eyes of God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1641.htm">garar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a gerah (one-twentieth of a shekel)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gerahs (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">גֵּרָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> a weight, 20th part of shekel, <font size="+1"><b>gerah</b></font> (Assyrian <i><em>girû</em></i>, Zehnpf<sup>BAS i. 506</sup>) — <font class="hebrew2">גֵּרָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/30-13.htm">Exodus 30:13</a> 4t. — Only in definition of <font class="hebrew2">שֶׁקֶל</font>, with number <font class="hebrew2">עֶשְׂרִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/30-13.htm">Exodus 30:13</a>;
