Ether 1:34 calls the brother of Jared “a large and mighty man.” (This expression also appears in Helaman 1:15 and Ether 15:26.)

Gardner provides a critical examination of this claim in “Of Book of Mormon Stories—and Giants,” Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship 67 (2025): 79–96.
