Definition of Kikkar

From the German Wikipedia (last updated 2008) translated by Google:

Kikkar is a biblical (Hebrew) weight:

1 Kikkar = 34.26 kg

1 Manäh = 571 grams

1 Schäkäl = 11.42 grams

1 Kikkar = 60 Manäh = 3000 Schäkäl

It is first mentioned in the Bible (2 Kings 18:14) and is often translated as a Talent.
