Throughout the Scriptures, height is frequently associated with strength, power, and sometimes pride or intimidation. The term "tall" is used to describe individuals, structures, and even nations, often highlighting their prominence or imposing nature.<br><br><b>Tall Individuals:</b><br><br>1. <b>Saul</b>: The first king of Israel, Saul, is described as a tall man. In <a href="/1_samuel/9-2.htm">1 Samuel 9:2</a> , it is noted, "Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome a young man as could be found anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller than anyone else." Saul's height is mentioned to emphasize his physical presence and suitability as a leader in the eyes of the people.<br><br>2. <b>Goliath</b>: Perhaps the most famous tall figure in the Bible is Goliath, the Philistine giant. In <a href="/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4</a> , it states, "Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height." Goliath's towering stature is central to the narrative of David and Goliath, symbolizing the formidable challenge that David, with God's help, was able to overcome.<br><br><b>Tall Structures:</b><br><br>1. <b>The Tower of Babel</b>: In <a href="/genesis/11-4.htm">Genesis 11:4</a> , the people said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth." The height of the Tower of Babel represents human ambition and pride, leading to God's intervention and the scattering of the people.<br><br>2. <b>The Cedars of Lebanon</b>: While not a man-made structure, the cedars of Lebanon are often mentioned in the Bible for their height and majesty. In <a href="/psalms/92-12.htm">Psalm 92:12</a> , it is written, "The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon." The tall cedars symbolize strength, durability, and the flourishing of the righteous.<br><br><b>Symbolic Use of Height:</b><br><br>Height in the Bible can also symbolize spiritual elevation or moral superiority. For instance, in <a href="/isaiah/2-12.htm">Isaiah 2:12-13</a> , the prophet warns, "For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted&#8212;it will be humbled&#8212;against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan." Here, height is used metaphorically to describe pride and arrogance that will be brought low by God's judgment.<br><br><b>Nations and Height:</b><br><br>The Bible sometimes uses height to describe nations, particularly in terms of their military might or perceived invincibility. In <a href="/amos/2-9.htm">Amos 2:9</a> , God reminds Israel, "Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the cedars and whose strength was like the oaks." The Amorites' height is a metaphor for their strength and the formidable challenge they posed, which God overcame on behalf of Israel.<br><br>In summary, the concept of being "tall" in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing physical stature, symbolic meanings, and spiritual lessons. Whether describing individuals, structures, or nations, height often serves to highlight themes of power, pride, and the ultimate sovereignty of God over all creation.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
