# Cubit
A cubit is something that was used during Bible times to measure how far something was from something else. One cubit was the length of a mans forearm, that is, how far it was from his elbow to the tip of his longest finger. A cubit was about the same length as 46 centimeters.
There was also a “long cubit” which was about the same length as 54 centimeters.
