Grasshoppers are medium to large insects. Adult length is 1 to 7 centimeters, depending on the species. The average American male is 168 centimeters (66 inches) tall, thus, humans are roughly 42 times taller than an average size grasshopper.
These giants were about 42 times taller than the men who spied the land, thus, they were likely 2,772 inches tall (231 feet) which is almost as tall as an average-sized 16-story skyscraper.
