What ancient unit of measurement was used to describe Noah's Ark, and typically varied between 17.48 and 20.83 inches, depending on the society in which it was used?

In the Bible, Noah's Ark was described as being 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. While mostly obsolete, the cubit is still sometimes used in hedgelaying, with the length of the forearm equaling one cubit, and used to figure out where to place the stakes.
