    My favourite scientific contradiction in the Quran

    "And how canst thou have patience about things about which thy understanding is not complete?" 18:68 The Prophet said, "Allah created adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your...

    Giants

    Nephilim are mentioned again as the sons of Anak in Numbers 13:33. I don't agree with you that this was necessarily a twisting of things by the fearful spies. Apparently they really did see giants in the land. They said they seemed like grasshoppers in comparison. Their fear however blinded them...

    Giants

    The term giant can be found in the Bible to describe people of an unusual size. Og, the king of Bashan was of the people of the Rephaim who were unusually tall. His bier was nine cubits (13.1 ft; 4 m) in length and four cubits (5.8 ft; 1.8 m) in width. (Deuteronomy 3:11) Other giants mentioned...

    Historical Accuracy of Nehemiah

    The measurement given is 6 cubits and a span in KJV 1 Samuel 17:4. A cubit is around the length of fingertip to the elbow, which is roughly 46 cm (or 18 inches). And a span is half a cubit, so 23 cm or 9 inches. In total that would mean 297.1 cm, near 3 metres (or 9 feet and 9 inches). I do...

    Archeaological evidence for the Bible

    No, it would take one notable exception, living circa 1100 BC, fighting in the Philistine army and being its most-feared soldier. It would also require him to be nine feet tall, according to 1 Samuel 17:4, which gets rid of the "giants are relative" line of reasoning - while 6'6" is "gigantic"...

    Historical Accuracy of the Bible

    That seems to indicate that the Bible might have been accurate, had it been copied accurately. Even if true, that doesn't do us much good in the real world.

    Historical Accuracy of the Bible

    Again, there is no true contradiction when you actually look at old Hebrew and Greek. 1 Chronicles 20:5 and 1 Samuel 17:4 clear up the apparent contradiction - it is obvious that it was a early copyist probably misread the Hebrew for "lahmi the brother of" as "the Bethlehemite (in Hebrew the...

    I read Hebrew, so you're an idiot!

    I just arrived at work where I keep my copy of the Etz Hayim Torah and Commentary. The notes on Leviticus 1:2 read, in part:The word for "offering" [korban] comes from the Hebrew root krv, meaning "to bring close" or "to come close". When we give a gift to someone we feel close to, we feel even...

    The Nephilim

    The intrusion of certain angels into the human family resulted in unnatural offspring termed Nephilim, which derives from the Hebrew naphal (to fall), or the Fallen Ones. (The Greek Septuagint renders this term gigantes, which actually means "earth-born." This is often misunderstood to mean...
