Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition
 זֶ֫רֶת noun feminine span (Late Hebrew id. (ᵑ7זַרְתָּא, Syriac ; apparently from Hebrew), etymology dubious; Thes and most derive from √ זרה, see Ol§ 146 b but also Sta§ 187 a; Ba ZMG 1887,607 proposes √ זרה measure off, determine, compare p. 280) — span, as standard of measurement, תִּכֵּן׳שָׁמַיִם בַּז Isaiah 40:12; elsewhere of actual size, a span, distance between ends of thumb and little finger of spread hand; = 1/2cubit (see אַמָּה & references; compare Exodus 25:10 with Joseph Ant. iii. 6, 5), ׳ז Exodus 28:16 (twice in verse); Exodus 39:9 (twice in verse) (all P) Ezekiel 43:13; זָ֑רֶת 1 Samuel 17:4 six cubits and a span. See Hultsch Metrol. 1882,443 Benz Archäol. 179.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

זֶרֶת f. a span, Exodus 28:16, 39:9 1 Samuel 17:4. (Aram. ܙܰܪܬܰ, ܙܰܪܬܐܳ, זַרְתָּא id.), from the root זָרָה to spread out; whence זֵר (for זֵרֶה); f. זֶרֶת, like קֶרֶת from קָרָה, כֶּסֶת from כָּסָה. [“Also according to the Rabbins זֶרֶת is the little finger, for זְעֶרֶת, and hence they derive the meaning of a span, as being terminated by the little finger.” Ges. add.]
