High as a zamar

Figuratively: very high (Zamar is the name of a creature, whose identity is unclear; according to one theory it refers to a giraffe or a beast from the deer family).

("This is the animal which you may eat: ox, sheep, goat, deer, gazelle, roebuck, wild goat, ibex, and antelope and 'zamar'" - Deuteronomy 14:4, and likewise: "He was then bright and high as a zamar / He drove wagons to the broad field" - Yaakov Orland / There Were Nights)
