I'm guessing a lot. But I don't know what a cubit is.

There was a rather good Alexie Sayle skit a number of years ago where Sayle, playing Noah, had built an foot long Ark according to God's instructions. His mate asked him "how big's a cubit anyway"? answer, "about three-quarters of a milimeter isnt't it" says Noah.

I went to a local apple orchard a couple of years ago and the chalkboard said Russets $10 a bushel. I was feeling flush and not in the mood to appear ignorant of the local parlance so I took a gamble and said to the guy "One bushel please" not knowing whether I was buying four apples or ten. It was a big box and enough apples to last all winter. So take it from me a bushel is a lot.

Based on the common short measurement where 1 cubit is 18 inches I am 3.888(Recurring.) cubits tall.
Being somewhat rusty on what exactly a cubit is I goggled it; it's the distance between the elbow and the fingertip which probably explains why, inch wise, the length of a cubit is different in different early cultures.

For younger readers, there were 16½ feet in a rod and 40 rods in a furlong.

What?
Oh, cubits......, I thought you said.....
I, by the way, am exactly one *Cubist tall.
*A modern Cubist that is. In the days before the great vertebral crushing of 2009 one Cubist was abut 3/4 inch bigger than today
