three hundred cubits] The length is ten times the height of it, for ten times thirtie is three hundred, and fixe times the breadth of it, for sixe times fiftie is three hundred, which some conceive to be in proportion of mans body rightly framed, measured from head to foot for the length, from the right side to the left for the breadth, and from the outside of the breast to the outside of the backe for the depth of it. The Arke may seeme greater or lesser according to the difference of cubits, which was of three degrees: 1. The common cubit containing five palmes of foure fingers breadth: 2. The cubit of the Sanctuary, which is one palme more, Ezekiel 40:5. and the third is the Geometricall cubite, six times as great as the common cubit. If the first or second sort of cubit be too little for capacitie for all the creatures with their provision, which were to be lodged in it from the beginning untill the ceasing of the flood, the last will be sufficient and to spare.
