Here's the link:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubit

 

If we consider the cubit to be about 15 in....then... 4 of them would be about 60 in....and this is about the height of the average man (more or less)

 

Does that help???

According to Wikipedia......the cubit ranged from about 15 to 20.4 inches in length......if we consider the average man to be about 6 feet tall (60 in).....then  60/15  = about 4 cubits
