* **one cubit** - A "cubit" was a little less than half a meter. In this instance, it is used as a metaphor for adding time to a lifespan. (See: [[en:obe:other:biblicaldistance]] and [[:en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]])
* **And why are you anxious about clothing?** - This rhetorical question means "you should not be worried about what you will wear."
