Details for Handbreadth (Biblical Measure)
Introduction : The handbreadth equaled about 7.4 cm (2.9 inches), representing the width of a palm excluding the thumb. This practical measurement appears frequently in biblical descriptions of objects and structures.
History & Origin : One of the smallest standardized units in ancient Hebrew measurement. Defined as 1/6 of a cubit or 4 fingerbreadths. Appears in Exodus for tabernacle measurements and in Psalms as a metaphor for life's brevity.
Current Use : Used for thickness of temple furnishings (e.g., molten sea was a handbreadth thick). The showbread table was 1 handbreadth high. Modern Torah scroll rollers often maintain this measurement.
Details for Chain (Survey Measurement)
Introduction : The chain equals 66 feet or 4 rods, developed as a practical surveying tool that could be physically carried across terrain. This unit remains surprisingly relevant in modern surveying and certain transportation systems due to its historical entrenchment.
History & Origin : Invented by English mathematician Edmund Gunter in 1620 as a physical chain of 100 links. Became fundamental to the rectangular survey system that mapped much of North America. The length was ideally suited for field measurement.
Current Use : Still used in US/UK railway surveys and property boundaries. A mile equals 80 chains, explaining why US railroad mileposts are 1 chain apart. Appears in some agricultural land measurements and mining claims.
