Pim weight

From Wikipedia, the free [encyclopedia]

1. Pim weight, a polished stone about 15 mm (5/8 inch) diameter, equal to about two-thirds of a Hebrew shekel. Many specimens have been found since their initial discovery early in the [20th] century, and each one weighs about 7.6 grams compared to 11.5 grams of a shekel. Its name, which can also be transliterated as "payim", comes from the inscription seen across the top of its dome shape: פימ.

From New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 2013 edition

2. A weight as well as the price charged by the Philistines for sharpening various metal implements. Several stone weights found in archaeological excavations in Israel bear the ancient Hebrew consonants (פימ – MYP {right to left} PYM) of “pim”; their average weight is 7.8g (0.2508 oz t), which would be [approximately] two-thirds of a shekel. – 1 Sa 13:20, 21

Impact
Until Robert [Alexander Stewart] Macalister's excavations at Gezer (1902-1905 and 1907-1909), scholars did not know how to translate the word pim (פִ֗ים p̄îm) in 1 Samuel 13:21.
