A proposito di questo titolo

The familiar description comes from 1 Samuel 17:4:

“There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.”

For centuries, English readers have taken this at face value, using the common Hebrew cubit—roughly eighteen inches. That places Goliath at nearly ten feet tall.

That image became tradition. It shaped sermons, illustrations, and imagination. And tradition deserves respect. It carries the memory of generations who trusted the text and taught it faithfully.

But tradition does not forbid examination—especially when Scripture itself presents us with multiple ancient witnesses.
