About this conversion
The Book of Samuel gives Goliath as six cubits and a span, about 2.9m using the common 0.45m cubit, and Genesis gives Noah's Ark as 300 cubits long (about 137m) by 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high.
These conversions use the common 0.45m cubit; scholars debate the exact cubit length, so values vary slightly by source.
Units supported: Meters, cubits (0.45m), Goliath (6 cubits/2.9m), Ark length (300 cubits/137m).
Source note: Goliath 6 cubits (1 Sam 17:4) and Ark 300×50×30 cubits (Gen 6:15) at 0.45m per cubit (common scholarly average).
