>> Article 18 (2010) Nili Samet, “'The Tallest Man Cannot Reach Heaven; the
>> Broadest Man Cannot Cover Earth' Reconsideriing the Proverb and its
>> Biblical Parallels" Abstract: An ancient Mesopotamian proverb states:
>> "even the tallest man cannot reach heaven; even the broadest man cannot
>> cover earth". This proverb, occurring in different contexts, periods and
>> versions, expresses the limitedness of the human ability, physically as
>> well as mentally. The proverb seems to stand at the background of several
>> biblical passages, especially Deut 30:11 13; Amos 9:2 3; Job 11:8â:8–9;
>> Job 28:12 22; and Ps 139:8 10. This article seekeeks to re-examine the
>> different manifestations of the proverb, and to trace the development of
>> the topoi reflected in it, with a focus on their adaptation in the Hebrew
>> Bible. To access the article directly please go to
