Sorry. I've come across a strong strain of parochialism on these threads when it comes to the use of the International System. There is evidently some branch of conservatism that believes it is somehow "un-American" to work with the metric system. I'm expecting someone one day to propose scrapping all modern measuring systems because they are "anti-Biblical" and proposing we go back to cubits and talents.

Is that the standard cubit or the temple cubit?

And you'd better use the sanctuary shekel, I don't want to get screwed over when weighing my silver.
