Question

cubit and hanspan meaning non standard unit like outhstreched to ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mainly because other units have taken over through time, so that inches, feet, yards, miles and metres today are used instead. If cubits had been used since the Biblical times, then we would have had cubit as a standardised unit.

One other important reason may be that cubit mainly was used among the Israelites and Jews, while the Greek and Romans preferred other units instead.

And again, the Roman world became rather anti Jewish in the first and second century, and this might have influenced them to choose some other unit than a Jewish unit like the cubit.
