ELN, e; f. I. an ELL, a measure of length, the space from the point of the elbow to the end of the middle finger, eighteen inches. This is the Heb. HEBREW [amma] a cubit: the Lat. c&u-short;b&i-short;tus a cubit, ulna an ell. Liddell and Scott say GREEK = c&u-short;b&i-short;tus, and ulna an ell properly contain twenty-four GREEK [GREEK the breadth of a finger, about 3/4 of an English inch] :-- GREEK; Mt. 6, 27; &i-long;p whas &i-long;zwara maurnands mag anaaukan ana wahstu seinana aleina aina? Mt. Bos. Goth. 6, 27; quis autem vestrum c&o-long;g&i-short;tans p&o-short;test adj&i-short;c&e-short;re ad st&a-short;t&u-long;ram suam c&u-short;b&i-short;tum &u-long;num? Mt. Vulg. 6, 27; hwylc eówer mæg sóþlíce geþencan ðæt he ge-eácnige áne elne to hys anlícnesse? Mt. Bos. 6, 27; Wycl. says cubite; Tynd. cubit. It is therefore presumed that the Grk. GREEK = Heb. HEBREW was eighteen inches; for twenty-four GREEK × by 3/4 = [.75] = eighteen inches. In the parallel passage, Lk. Bos. 12, 25, there is not any Gothic; the Grk. Lat. and A. Sax. are the same as in the preceding verse. Lk. Bos. 12, 25 is, therefore, not quoted. Hí wæ-acute;ron unfeor fram lande, swylce hit wæ-acute;re twá hund elna non longe &e-short;rant a terra, sed qu&a-short;si c&u-short;b&i-short;tis d&u-short;centis [18 in. × 200 ÷ 12 = 300 ft.], Jn.
