The Temple

How big was the Temple (1 King 6) in today's measurements?

The temple was not all that big. 1 Kings 6:2 says it was 60 cubits long. A cubit was the distance from one's elbow to the tip of the finger. Unless your arms were of an unusual size, this puts a cubit at around 18 inches. That makes the temple a mere 90 feet long.
