Gigantic God: Yahweh's Body

The God of the Hebrew Bible is, by and large, a corporeal God. Implicit in Gen. 1.26-27, moreover, is the notion that God's body resembles a human body. It is only in later midrashic and mystical texts, however—pre—eminently the Shi'ur Qomah- that speculation about Yahweh's body bloom...

520 |a The God of the Hebrew Bible is, by and large, a corporeal God. Implicit in Gen. 1.26-27, moreover, is the notion that God's body resembles a human body. It is only in later midrashic and mystical texts, however—pre—eminently the Shi'ur Qomah- that speculation about Yahweh's body blooms, and Yahweh is conceived as pos sessing a massive male physique.
