Hey all,
I've been doing research on the days of Jared, days of Noah and the Nephilim. I'm also using extra biblical text references such as the Apocrypha, Josephus, books of Enoch, Jubilees, Jasher, etc. To my question...
Exactly or closely, what is the length of an "ELL"? In all my text references and my searches I find it's about an equivalent of a cubit, a cubit being the length between a mans elbow and middle finger tip, or 16 - 18 inches.
Enoch 7:3, describes giants that are 3,000 ells? If my math is correct; 3,000 ells x 18 inches = 54,000 inches. 54,000 inches divided by 12 inches = 4,500 feet? Something is not right here? Am I having a bad hair day and can't do simple math?
Thanks
