A cubit is the measurement from a mans forearm to the tip of his middle finger. As you can see that means that each mans cubit is a different size. To solve this problem in Ancient times the universal cubit would be the length of the kings cubit.
According to WikipediaThe distance between thumb and another finger to the elbow on an average person measures about 24 digits or 6 palms or 1½ feet. This is about 45 cm or 18 inches. This so-called "natural cubit" of 1½ feet is used in the Roman system of measures and in different Greek systems.Over time, units similar in type to the cubit have measured:
- 6 palms 24 digits, i.e. ~45.0 cm or 18 inches (1.50 ft)
- 7 palms 28 digits, i.e. ~52.5 cm or 21 inches (1.75 ft)
- 8 palms 32 digits, i.e. ~60.0 cm or 24 inches (2.00 ft)
- 9 palms 36 digits, i.e. ~67.5 cm or 27 inches (2.25 ft)
