Biblical Trivia #2 - Answer

Genesis 7.20 states that the waters reached 15 cubits higher than the mountains. Well, what is a cubit, you ask. According to the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures with References, the note at Genesis 6.15 shows that a cubit is 17.5 inches. So, if the waters reached 15 cubits: 17.5 inches x 15 = 262.5 inches. Now: 262.5 / 12 = 21.875 or about 22 feet.
