Very interesting, the Bible uses the word "weighed" when describing the 400 silver shekels used by Abraham to purchase a burial plot for his wife, Sarah (Genesis 23, verses 13-17), specifically verse 16: "Abraham weighed out to Ephron."
“Biblical descriptions of jewelry—earrings and bracelets—often include exact weights; the jewelry was deliberately molded into certain standard weights, so that it could be used as a means of exchange." http://cojs.org/the_holy_land_in_coins-_yaakov_meshorer-_bar_mar_1978/ … Jewelry & ingots divided by iron chisel:pic.twitter.com/uw390OYdrI

Rashi- a well known medieval commentator describes the "shekels" used by Abraham in units of weight, most likely as large silver ingots.

Deut 14:24-26 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe...then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. Use the silver to buy whatever you like
