Deuteronomy
3:11 says, “For
only
Og king
of Bashan
remained of
the remnant
of giants;
behold,
his bedstead
was a
bedstead of
iron; is it
not in
Rabbath of
the children
of Ammon?
nine cubits
was the
length
thereof, and
four cubits
the breadth
of it, after
the cubit of
a man.”
The cubit is
about 18
inches, so
that would
make his bed
about 13 1/2
feet long,
and 6 feet
wide.
Seeming it
was a
custom-made
bed, then he
would have
made the bed
longer than
he was tall
(unless he
liked his
feet hanging
off the
bed). A
good guess
would be
that he was
a little
over 12 feet
tall.
