Signs and symptoms of a venous clot include: 1  Warmth in the area of the clot. 2  Swelling. 3  Tenderness. 4  Mild to moderate pain that increases over hours or days.
Standard/Biblical cubit: 6 palms x 4 fingers = 24 units, Egyptian Royal cubit: 7 palms x 4 fingers = 28 units[edit] I tweaked the following with an excellent reference... The cubit is a traditional unit of length, based on the length of the forearm: from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger.
Various Bible commentaries place the length of a cubit anywhere from 17 inches (43.2 centimeters) to 21 inches (53.3 centimeters). The length of a span is highly likely around 9 inches (22.9 centimeters). Conservatively, Goliath was 9 feet 3 inches tall or 2.82 meters and likely was a bit bigger! Compare this to the average height of a U.S. male (2003 to 2006 data) of 5 feet 10 inches (1.8 meters). Regarding the size and weight of Goliath's armor the Bible says his battle coat weighed 5,000 shekels of bronze.
