From these figures for the size of a Biblical ell, that of the basic unit — the finger-breadth ( Etzba) — can be calculated to be either 2.1 or 2.2 cm (0.83 or 0.87 in); Rav Avraham Chaim Naeh approximates at 2 cm (0.79 in); Talmudic scholar Chazon Ish at 2.38 cm (0.94 in). The mile ( Mil) is thus about 963 or 1146 meters (3160 or 3760 ft ...
