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.
A "slug," in the context of mass, is a unit of measurement primarily used in the United States customary and British imperial systems. It is not a widely used unit and is considered somewhat archaic. The slug is used to measure mass and is defined as the mass that accelerates at a rate of one foot per second squared (1 ft/s²) when a force of one pound-force (1 lbf) is applied to it. In other words, a slug is the mass that results in an acceleration of 1 ft/s² when a force of 1 lbf is applied to it.
