My understanding of Biblical cubits is that this would equate to about ten feet. And King Og's bed is described as being nine cubits. And there's supposed to be an entire population of people presumably around the region of this sort of height.
Ah, OK, I should have checked that before giving my two-pennyworth. Still, it's probably a case of a story being exaggerated in the transmission, rather than a claim of supernatural beings. Doesn't help the bible literalists' case, though.
Only sheep need a shepherd.
