A cubit is considered the length from the elbow to the end of the fingers of a grown man. People would make a rope of a stick this length and use it for measuring. The accepted length of a cubit varied from culture to culture. In Egypt, it was closer to 24", in the area of Canaan, it was around 18-20 inches. You can Google online and find out the size of the ark.
How big is a cubit? I'm trying to figure out how big the ark of the sanctuary was.
