what is the measurement of a cubit in the bible
Cubit The Near Eastern or Biblical cubit is usually estimated as approximately 457 mm (18 in).[10][11][not in citation given] Epiphanius of Salamis, in his treatise On Weights and Measures, describes how it was customary, in his day, to take the measurement of the biblical cubit: "The cubit is a measure, but it is taken from the measure of the forearm. For the part from the elbow to the wrist and the palm of the hand is called the cubit, the middle finger of the cubit measure being also extended at the same time and there being added below (it) the span, that is, of the hand, taken all together."[12]
