Ummm.... no, it wasn't. The "yard" dates from medieval England. The
length measurements used in the Bible were cubits and spans.

There were at least three metric systems. It isn't a French
system. It is a standard - a unified German, British, French and Japanese.
Oh - the US had people there - and they agreed. And yes
the standard is generated in France.

It was the measure used in the bible. It is much older than
England or Britain.

The metric system? Used in the Bible? I don't think so.
