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.
