The ancient unit of measurement called the cubit is not standardized, so it does not convert exactly to any modern unit.
The definition of the cubit is the length of the king's forearm and hand from the end of the elbow to the tip of the longest finger. So under different kings the cubit changed in length. Try measuring your forearm to determine your personal cubit.
