About These Units
About Handbreadth
The handbreadth, also known as tefach in Hebrew, is a biblical and ancient unit of length equal to the breadth of a hand. In biblical measurements, one handbreadth equals 4 digits (fingers) and 6 handbreadths equal one cubit. This natural measurement has been used across many ancient cultures for practical everyday measurements.
About Barleycorn
The Barleycorn is an old English unit of length. The custom of using seeds as units of length or weight is very common in farming societies. In Anglo-Saxon England, where barley was a basic crop, barleycorns played this traditional role. The weight of a barleycorn, later renamed the grain, is the original basis of all English weight systems including the older troy system and the later avoirdupois system. As a length unit, 3 barleycorns were equal to the Saxon ynce (inch). The English foot was actually defined as 12 of these ynces, that is, as 36 barleycorns.
