Fun with measurements. From what I gather, a cubit is traditionally the length of the forearm, from the elbow to the tip of the longest finger. I wonder who came up with that, because obviously this might have caused some problems early on. It’s like Hamish said in the movie Braveheart: “Some men are longer than others.” It’s all about the point of reference.
Maybe back then when building things one person had the task of being the measuring stick. So he’d walk around offering his arm to measure the length of everything. I don’t know.
LOL! I’d feel sorry for that guy! Maybe there’s another explanation… stay tuned.
had a good laugh at that one. Thanks
Hilarious! I am among the legions of Christians who have wondered the same thing.
