It is generally understood to be the length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, approximately 18 inches or 45 centimeters. The cubit was a standard measure used in various contexts, including construction, architecture, and descriptions of sacred objects.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, the cubit was a widely used unit of measurement. It was essential for building projects, including the construction of the Tabernacle and the Temple, as well as for describing the dimensions of Noah's Ark and other significant structures. The cubit provided a practical and consistent means of measurement in a time before standardized units like meters or feet.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/520.htm">ammah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a cubit<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cubits (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>cubit <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/520.htm">'ammah</a> -- cubit. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/520.htm">'ammah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>אַמִּ֣ין אַמִּ֥ין אמין ’am·mîn ’ammîn amMin<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/6-3.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 6:3</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מְסֽוֹבְלִ֑ין רוּמֵהּ֙ <b> אַמִּ֣ין </b> שִׁתִּ֔ין פְּתָיֵ֖הּ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> being 60 <span class="itali">cubits</span> and its width<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> thereof threescore <span class="itali">cubits,</span> [and] the breadth<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6-3.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> laid the height <span class="itali">cubits</span> the breadth<p><b><a href="/text/ezra/6-3.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 6:3</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">שִׁתִּ֔ין פְּתָיֵ֖הּ <b> אַמִּ֥ין </b> שִׁתִּֽין׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and its width 60<span class="itali">cubits;</span><br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> thereof threescore <span class="itali">cubits;</span><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6-3.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the breadth <span class="itali">cubits</span> <p><b><a href="/text/daniel/3-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 3:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/3.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">דְהַ֔ב רוּמֵהּ֙ <b> אַמִּ֣ין </b> שִׁתִּ֔ין פְּתָיֵ֖הּ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/3.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> of which [was] sixty <span class="itali">cubits</span> [and] its width<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/3.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> [was] threescore <span class="itali">cubits,</span> [and] the breadth<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/3-1.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> of gold the height <span class="itali">cubits</span> of which sixty width<p><b><a href="/text/daniel/3-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 3:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/3.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">שִׁתִּ֔ין פְּתָיֵ֖הּ <b> אַמִּ֣ין </b> שִׁ֑ת אֲקִימֵהּ֙</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/3.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> six <span class="itali">cubits;</span> he set<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/3.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> thereof six <span class="itali">cubits:</span> he set it up<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/3-1.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> of which sixty width <span class="itali">cubits</span> six set<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_521.htm">4 Occurrences</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_521.htm">Strong's Hebrew 521<br>4 Occurrences</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/ammin_521.htm">’am·mîn — 4 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405';
