Now THAT'S what I call a bicep/tricep!
How would you like THIS guy to have you in a headlock?
I watched a show on this guy a month or so ago. He was injecting steroids. That is why his biceps look the way they do.
LOL....I should add that once we have the tally results in for all the forum members, the tallest girl and tallest guy will be crowned honorary Adam and Eve of the forum!
DL,Hi Chris,
The (secular/ordinary) Egyptian cubit is measured from the the elbow to end of the middle finger. It about 18 inches or 1.5 ft.
The sacred Hebrew cubit (apropos) is the secular cubit + a hand breath of about 4 inches.
Ezekiel 40:5 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
Ezekiel 43:3 And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.
That makes the hebrew cubit = 18" + 4"= 22" or ~1.83'.
SOP confirms the measure in Patriarchs and Prophets:
"The tabernacle was so constructed that it could be taken apart and borne with the Israelites in all their journeyings. It was therefore small, being not more than fifty-five feet in length, and eighteen in breadth and height." --- PP 347
The sanctuary (1st + 2nd apartments) measures 30x10x10 cubits.
