In the New Testament and other Greek texts from antiquity, the talent was also a unit of weight and currency.
The Greek talent was typically lighter than the Hebrew talent, with a common weight of about 57 pounds (26 kilograms) or less.
In the parable of the talents in the New Testament (Matthew 25:14-30), talents were used as a representation of value and investment.
The mina in Biblical Hebrew is a unit of weight and currency that is smaller than a talent. The weight of a mina could vary depending on the region and time period, but it was generally around 1.25 pounds (approximately 0.57 kilograms).
