Measures & money
Mina
A unit of weight and money smaller than a talent and larger than a shekel.
Also called · maneh
What it means
The mina linked many shekels into a larger accounting unit, but the number of shekels was not identical in every system.
Greek and Near Eastern standards also differed, so modern totals are approximate.
How it appears in the Bible
Ezekiel specifies a mina by shekels, while Jesus’ parable describes servants entrusted with minas.
Translation note
The relationship among mina, shekel, and talent varies by textual and historical system.
