Mile
Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary
The Hebrews did not measure by the mile, but by the cubit. Our translators of the Bible have, however, very properly, rendered the measurement by the English standard; so that a mile, in our language, corresponds to two thousand cubits, and a furlong is the eighth part of a mile.
