Usage: The term כִּכֵּר is used in the context of weights and measures, particularly in financial transactions or descriptions of wealth. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament. Context: The term כִּכֵּר (kikkar) is an Aramaic word found in the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Ezra and Daniel, which contain sections written in Aramaic. The "talent" was a significant unit of weight and currency in the ancient Near East, often used to measure large quantities of precious metals such as gold and silver. The exact weight of a talent varied over time and by region, but it is generally understood to be approximately 75 pounds (about 34 kilograms). In the context of the Bible, the talent represents substantial wealth and is often mentioned in descriptions of offerings, tributes, or treasures. The use of the term in the Aramaic sections of the Bible highlights the cultural and linguistic influences present during the periods of the Babylonian exile and the subsequent return to Jerusalem.
