"REPLY TO GINO -- Further Interesting Questions About Giants"


This is reply to your 10/20 post RE: Fay: 10.13.24: further interesting questions
which was about giants in which you stated the following:

"The other thing you brought up is whether the giants were born gigantic, where the mothers died in childbirth.
That is a frightening thought.
If that was the case, I would have to agree with you, no other women would want that.
However, if they were born normal size, then it could be possible that they had more children.
Then there is another question, could a normal sized woman have children with a giant?"

If a giant was born normal size, it wouldn't be called a giant. If a woman was the size of a grasshopper in comparison to a giant the height of a 40 ft. to 60 ft. cedar tree, I think it would be impossible for them to have children together. I also think it would be impossible for a normal sized woman 5 ft. to 6 ft. to have children with a 40 ft. to 60 ft. male giant as all his body parts would be much larger as well. Below are the verses about the 'grasshoppers' and 'the height of a cedar tree.'

Numbers 13:33 says, "And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight." 

And Amos 2:9 says, "Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath."

According to the article at Understanding The Impressive Size Of The Cedar Of Lebanon Tree | ShunCy  an average cedar tree can grow as tall as 40 ft. to 60 ft. high which how tall a giant was while a woman is usually somewhere between 5 ft. and 6 ft. tall.

I do remember reading a long time ago about a woman bearing a giant's child and she died giving birth because it ripped her apart like Fay mentioned, but I am not sure where I read it.  I thought it was Josephus, but I can't now find the article.
