A counted unit of gold, silver, or measure · dominant
Plural forms occur in quantified material settings: in 1 Kings 10:17 the APB renders three units of gold assigned to each shield, and in Ezra 2:69 and Nehemiah 7:71 it renders silver amounts given to a treasury. The singular form in Ezekiel 45:12 occurs in the clause that combines specified shekel amounts into the unit.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “minas” in 1 Kings 10:17, Ezra 2:69, and Nehemiah 7:71, and “mina” in Ezekiel 45:12. In Nehemiah 7:70, the supplied translation does not visibly isolate the term's contribution.
