Pennyweight: The pennyweight (abbreviated as dwt) is a unit of mass commonly used in the jewelry industry to measure the weight of precious metals, particularly gold and silver. One pennyweight is equal to 24 grains or approximately 1.555 grams.
In the Old Testament and other Hebrew scriptures, the talent was used as a unit of measurement for precious metals.
The weight of a talent in Biblical Hebrew could vary, but it was typically quite substantial, equivalent to approximately 75 pounds (34 kilograms) or more.
Talents were used for various purposes, including as a standard for assessing the value of offerings and tribute payments.
