This video explores the tall tales of Og king of Bashan, and whether he was a giant. The Talmud and other ancient Jewish literature in their literal readings seem to indicate that Og was an ancient super giant able to rip mountains out of the ground at will. Was that what was intended by the authors of these texts? Sources: The Story of a Giant Story – The Winding Way of Og King of Bashan in the Jewish Aggadic Tradition”, in: HUCA 73, (2002) pp. 157–190.

NOTE: For Older Testament passages I’ve become rather interested in reading them in the Septuagint. I know some passages are different there comparably, but the Septuagint seems to have more depth in understanding than the Bibles translated using the Masoretic text created in about 600-1000 a.d. This is compared to the origins of the Septuagint. The Septuagint is the very first translation of the Hebrew Bible from Hebrew to another language into Greek. It’s believed that it was probably translated as early as the third century BC. The Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek is traditionally dated to the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt (285-246 BC).
