Gerah (Biblical Hebrew)

What is a gerah (biblical hebrew)?

The gerah was the smallest Hebrew weight, about 0.57 gram (one-twentieth of a shekel).

Origin of the gerah (biblical hebrew)

From a Hebrew word for a small grain or bean.

Where it is used

Ancient Israelite metrology.

When and where it was developed

Part of the smallest divisions of the biblical shekel.

Scientific / Atomic

Carbon-12 Atom Mass

What is a carbon-12 atom mass?

The mass of a single carbon-12 atom is exactly 12 u by definition, about 1.9926E-26 kg.

Origin of the carbon-12 atom mass

The reference nuclide that defines the unified atomic mass scale.

Where it is used

The defining standard for the atomic mass unit.

When and where it was developed

Chosen as the mass standard by IUPAC and IUPAP in 1960-1961.

Gerah (Biblical Hebrew) to Carbon-12 Atom Mass conversion formula

Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.

The relationship between gerahs (biblical hebrew) and carbon-12 atom mass:

1 gerah = 2.860517e+22 C-12

1 C-12 = 3.495872e-23 gerah

To convert gerahs (biblical hebrew) to carbon-12 atom mass, multiply the value in gerahs (biblical hebrew) by 2.860517e+22. To reverse, multiply carbon-12 atom mass by 3.495872e-23.

Step-by-step: convert gerahs (biblical hebrew) to carbon-12 atom mass

Write down the value in gerahs (biblical hebrew) (gerah).
Multiply that value by the factor 2.860517e+22.
The product is the equivalent value in carbon-12 atom mass (C-12).
To reverse, multiply the carbon-12 atom mass value by 3.495872e-23.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 gerah to C-12:
1 × 2.860517e+22 = 2.860517e+22 C-12

Example 2 — Convert 100 gerah to C-12:
100 × 2.860517e+22 = 2.860517e+24 C-12

Real-world example — Mid-micron to nanometer

3 gerahs (biblical hebrew) equals 3,000 carbon-12 atom mass — useful when relating mid-infrared wavelengths (typically quoted in microns) to nanometer-scale visible-light wavelength tables.

3 gerah × 2.860517e+22 = 8.581551e+22 C-12

Real-world example — From microns to sub-micron features

One gerah (biblical hebrew) equals one thousand carbon-12 atom mass — the conversion semiconductor designers do constantly when comparing mask feature dimensions to actual transistor gate lengths.

1 gerah × 2.860517e+22 = 2.860517e+22 C-12

Real-world example — Infrared to visible-spectrum mapping

A 10-gerah (biblical hebrew) thermal infrared wavelength corresponds to a much larger number in carbon-12 atom mass, the unit favoured for ultraviolet and visible-light specifications.

10 gerah × 2.860517e+22 = 2.860517e+23 C-12
