Scripture

Called a gibbor - a mighty one - "the first on earth to be a mighty man" and "a mighty hunter before the LORD". The Greek Septuagint translates the term with gigas, which is how Nimrod entered the later giant tradition and became linked to the Tower of Babel.

Named in the Hebrew Bible or New Testament canon. Heights are given only where the text gives them, in the text’s own units.
