Bible Question: Dose the bible tell us what a cubit is? Sorry if I was not clear 0_o |
Bible Answer: Dear Jessie, No need to apologize :-) As far as I know, the Bible did not specifically tell us what a cubit is. What I understand it is a standard of measure used in the ancient time by employing the length of the fore-arm starting from the elbow joint to the middle-finger tip as what user isa26 stated. (Other forum users please correct me if I am wrong). You may also google on the net (e.g. wikipedia) for other scholarly research. Shalom Azure |
