Click to reveal the answerThe answer is: Og
Deut 3:11 - Goliath undoubtedly had a big bed too, but we're not told how big.
In the book of Deuteronomy, we meet the giant Og, King of Bashan, and his rather oversized bed takes the spotlight! At 13.5 feet long and 6 feet wide, Og's bed practically deserves its own zip code. This provides a fascinating glimpse into how people revered royalty and the superhuman presence that these giants held. Imagine the effort it took to make such an enormous bed—a marvel for the bedroom!
Interestingly, while Og made an impression with his colossal scale, he’s not the only large figure in the good book. Goliath is another, whose stature has made him famous as one of Biblical history's heavyweights. Goliath's description portrays him as more than just a giant; he served as a stark contrast to David, showcasing themes of size versus faith and courage.
Og reinforces the concept of giants in Biblical texts often symbolizing obstacles, reflecting on challenges faced by the Israelites as they journeyed to the Promised Land. It’s as if each mighty foe reminded them not only of God’s promise but of the strength found through faith and perseverance.
And here's a fun nugget: Og is considered the last of the Rephaim, a group of ancient giants. Wouldn't it be spooky to think what life was like back then, knowing such larger-than-life figures roamed the earth? So next time you're discussing Biblical narratives, sprinkle in Og and Goliath as reminders of overcoming insurmountable odds!
