Biblical unit of length (5)

I believe the answer is:

cubit

(Other definitions for cubit that I've seen before include "Measurement based on the length of the forearm" , "about eighteen inches" , "Ancient measure about the length of an arm" , "Ancient linear measure" , "distance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
