* **They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be two and a half cubits; its width will be one cubit and a half; and its height will be one cubit and a half.** (Exodus 25:10 ULB)
1. Use the measurements given in the ULB. These are the same kinds of measurements that the original writers used. Spell them in a way that is similar to the way they sound or are spelled in the ULB. (see [Copy or Borrow Words](../translate-transliterate/01.md))
* "They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be <u>two and a half kubits</u>; its width will be <u>one kubit and a half</u>; and its height will be <u>one kubit and a half</u>."
* "They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be <u>two and a half kubits</u>; its width will be <u>one kubit and a half</u>; and its height will be <u>one kubit and a half</u>."
1. Use the metric measurements given in the UDB. The translators of the UDB have already figured how to represent the amounts in the metric system.
* "They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be <u>one hundred and fifteen centimeters</u>; its width will be <u>sixty-nine centimeters</u>; and its height will be <u>sixty-nine centimeters</u>."
* "They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be <u>one hundred and fifteen centimeters</u>; its width will be <u>sixty-nine centimeters</u>; and its height will be <u>sixty-nine centimeters</u>."
1. Use measurements that are already used in your language. In order to do this you would need to know how your measurements relate to the metric system and figure out each measurement. For example, if you measure things using the standard foot length, you could translate it as below.
* "They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be<u> 3 3/4 feet</u>; its width will be <u>2 1/4 feet</u>; and its height will be <u>2 1/4 feet</u>."
* "They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be<u> 3 3/4 feet</u>; its width will be <u>2 1/4 feet</u>; and its height will be <u>2 1/4 feet</u>."
1. Use the measurements from the ULB and include measurements that your people know in the text or a note. The following shows both measurements in the text.
* "They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be <u>two and a half cubits (one hundred and fifteen centimeters)</u>; its width will be <u>one cubit and a half (sixty-nine centimeters)</u>; and its height will be <u>one cubit and a half (sixty-nine centimeters)</u>."
* "They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be <u>two and a half cubits (one hundred and fifteen centimeters)</u>; its width will be <u>one cubit and a half (sixty-nine centimeters)</u>; and its height will be <u>one cubit and a half (sixty-nine centimeters)</u>."
1. Use measurements that your people know, and include the measurements from the ULB in the text or in a note. The following shows the ULB measurements in notes.
* "They are to make an ark of acacia wood. Its length must be <u>one hundred and fifteen centimeters</u><sup>[1]</sup>; its width will be <u>sixty-nine centimeters</u> <sup>[2]</sup>; and its height will be <u>sixty-nine centimeters</u>."
* The footnotes would look like:
<sup>[1]</sup>two and a half cubits
<sup>[2]</sup>one cubit and a half
