Oh, what a lovely question! Let's imagine those 2000 cubits as a happy little stream flowing through a meadow. If we were to convert those cubits into miles, we would find that it's about 0.5 miles. Just a little stroll down the path of conversion, and we have our answer. Remember, there are no mistakes in math, just happy little accidents!

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the ancient units of measurement questions, I see. Alright, so 2000 cubits is roughly equivalent to 1 mile. Cubits were used back in the day when people were like, "Let's measure stuff using our forearm length," so yeah, it's about a mile.
I believe 2000 cubits would be about 2,900 feet.
The 'common cubit' was roughly the distance from a man's elbow to the tip of the middle finger, often figured to be around 17.5 inches. (According to the Siloam Inscription, for instance, King Hezekiah's water tunnel is '1,200 cubits long' and modern measurements put it at 1,749 ft)
NOAH'S ARK measured 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high (or 437 ft 6 in. × 72 ft 11 in. × 43 ft 9 in., giving it 1,400,000 cubic feet in gross volume (or 96,000 square feet of living space on three levels)(Genesis 6:14-16)
The 'Ark of the Covenant", on the other hand, measured: 44" × 26" × 26" (Exodus 25:10, 11)
Alright, buckle up buttercup. 2000 cubits is equal to approximately 0.6 miles. So, if you're looking to strut your stuff for 0.6 miles, you better start counting those cubits, honey!
