See the discussion of the term “cubits” in the introduction to this chapter for suggestions as to how you might represent the lengths that the author is using the term to indicate.

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and 20 cubits]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
