safer distance.

The Talmud informs us that "a young unicorn, one day old, is as large as
Mount Tabor." Consequently Noah had great difficulty in saving an old one
alive. He could not get it into the ark, so he bound it by its horn to the
side of the ark. At the same time Og, King of Bashan (being one of the
antediluvians), was saved by riding on its back. We are further informed
that he was one of the giants who came from the intermarriage of angels
with the daughters of men. His footsteps were forty miles long, and one of
his teeth served to make a couch for Abraham. When the Israelites came
against him under the command of Moses, he inquired the size of their
camp, and hearing that it was three miles in extent he tore up a mountain
of that size, to hurl it upon them. Grasshoppers were, however, sent to
bore holes in it, so that it fell over his head on to his neck. His teeth
also grew and were entangled in the rocks, as the Psalmist says, "Thou
hast broken the teeth of the ungodly" (Ps. iii. 7). He is also said to be
identical with Eliezer the servant of Abraham, and to have been, like
Enoch, translated to Paradise. This account, however, differs widely from
the statements of the Jerusalem Targum on the Book of Numbers (xxi. 34).

The Talmud affirms that Adam was made from dust of all parts of the earth;
and that he was created with two faces, as it is written, "Thou hast beset
me behind and before" (Ps. cxxxix. 5). The Rabbis further state that he
was formed in two parts, one male and one female. His height before his
fall reached to the firmament, but after his fall God put his hand upon
him, and compressed him small. In the tenth hour after he was made, he
sinned; and in the twelfth he was driven out of Paradise. Abraham is said
to have put Sarah into a box when he brought her into Egypt, that none
should see her beauty. At the custom-house toll was demanded. Abraham said
he was ready to pay. The custom-house officers said, "Thou bringest
clothes." He said, "I will pay for clothes." They said, "Thou bringest
gold." He said, "I will pay for gold." They said, "Thou bringest silk." He
said, "I will pay for silk." They said, "Thou bringest pearls." He said,
"I will pay for pearls." They said, "Thou must open the box," whereupon
her splendor shone over the whole land of Egypt.

Abraham, it is also said, had a precious stone hung around his throat, on
which when the si
