Based on biblical references, the tallest human mentioned is likely Og, King of Bashan.
While the Bible doesn't explicitly provide Og's height in numerical terms, it describes him in ways suggesting immense stature.
Here's what the Bible says about Og:
-
Amos 2:9: This verse may refer to Og as "the Amorite" whose height was like the height of the cedars and whose strength was like that of the oaks. This comparison to trees suggests an extraordinary height and strength.
-
Psalms 135:11 and 136:20: These verses mention Og's destruction as a significant victory for Israel. This victory is emphasized, implying that Og was a formidable opponent, likely due to his size and strength.
While other giants are mentioned in the Bible, the descriptions of Og, particularly the comparison of his height to cedars, suggest he was exceptionally tall.
