yard
A meter is the metric unit for length, equal to approximately 1.1 yards.
A foot is a unit of length. A cubic yard is a unit of volume. The two units are therefore incompatible.
Few ancient measurements were 'standard'. Generally two people doing business agreed on the standard between them. A cubit was a body-based measurement - supposedly the length of a forearm. To the best of my knowledge, only the 'carob' was a standard measurment - as the seeds of the carob are, apparently, always the same weight.
A yard is longer - one yard is equal to three feet.
