However, the Greek term "πήχυς" (pēchys, Strong's G4083) is used in the New Testament to refer to a cubit.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "gomed" refers to a unit of measurement, specifically a "cubit." A cubit is an ancient measure of length based on the distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, typically around 18 inches (45 centimeters). In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe dimensions, particularly in construction and architecture.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The cubit was a common unit of measurement in the ancient Near East, including Israel. It was used in various cultures for building projects, including the construction of temples, altars, and other significant structures. The use of the cubit as a standard measure reflects the practical needs of ancient societies to have a consistent and reliable way to measure length.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a short cubit (from elbow to knuckles of clenched fist)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cubit (1).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">גֹּ֫מֶד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cubit</b></font> (from elbow to knuckles of clenched (contracted) hand;
