It is the smallest weight measurement mentioned in the Bible, equivalent to one-twentieth of a shekel. The gerah was used in the context of trade and temple offerings, signifying precision and fairness in economic transactions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, weights and measures were crucial for maintaining justice and equity in trade. The gerah, as a unit of weight, was part of a standardized system that ensured fair dealings. This system was deeply embedded in the social and religious life of the Israelites, reflecting their commitment to honesty and integrity as commanded by God. The use of the gerah in temple offerings also underscores its role in religious observance, where precise measurements were necessary to fulfill the requirements of the Law.<div class="vheading2">NAS
