From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Weights       Reduced to English troy-weight, the Hebrew weights were: (1.)       The gerah (Lev. 27:25; Num. 3:47), a Hebrew word, meaning a       grain or kernel, and hence a small weight. It was the twentieth       part of a shekel, and equal to 12 grains.                (2.) Bekah (Ex. 38:26), meaning "a half" i.e., "half a       shekel," equal to 5 pennyweight.                (3.) Shekel, "a weight," only in the Old Testament, and       frequently in its original form (Gen. 23:15, 16; Ex. 21:32;       30:13, 15; 38:24-29, etc.). It was equal to 10 pennyweight.                (4.) Ma'neh, "a part" or "portion" (Ezek. 45:12), equal to 60       shekels, i.e., to 2 lbs. 6 oz.                (5.) Talent of silver (2 Kings 5:22), equal to 3,000 shekels,       i.e., 125 lbs.                (6.) Talent of gold (Ex. 25:39), double the preceding, i.e.,       250 lbs.
