Giants in Hebrew History:

Giants After the Flood

1 Enoch 15:8-10  "8  But now the giants who were begotten by the spirits and flesh - they will call them evil spirits upon the earth, for their dwelling will be upon the earth.  9  The spirits that have gone forth from the body of their flesh are evil spirits," for from humans they came into being, and from the holy watchers was the origin of their creation. Evil spirits they will be on the earth, and evil spirits they will be called.   10  The spirits of heaven, in heaven is their dwelling; but the spirits begotten in the earth, on earth is their dwelling."

KJV Genesis 14:5-9  "5   And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim [Bashan], and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim,  6  And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.  7  And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.  8  And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;  9  With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.  ...  12  And they [Chedorlaomer & his allies ] took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.   13  And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew;"

KJV Genesis 14:15-17  "14  And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive [by Chedorlaomer & his allies], he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.  15  And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.  16  And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.  17  And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his [Abram's] return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale."

KJV Genesis 15:12-21  "12  And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.  13  And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;  14  And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.  15  And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.  16  But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.  17  And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. [Is this a pair of comets, one piece being the sun and the other piece being one of the comets; the second comet is passing between the former comet (piece two) and the sun (piece one)??]  18  In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:  19  The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,  20  And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims [who are not localized in one area],  21  And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."

KJV Deuteronomy 2:8-11,16-35  "8  And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.  9  And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land [for] a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot [for] a possession.  10  The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;  11  Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.  12  The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.  ...  16  So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,  17  That the LORD spake unto me, saying,  18  Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:  19 And [when] thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon [any] possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot [for] a possession.  20  (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;  21  A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:  22  As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:  23  And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, [even] unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor [Crete], destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)  24  Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess [it], and contend with him in battle.  25  This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations [that are] under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.  26  And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,  27  Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.  28  Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;  29  (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.  30  But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as [appeareth] this day.  31  And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.  32  Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.  33  And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.  34  And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:  35  Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took."

KJV Deuteronomy 3:1-13  "1  Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.  2  And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.  3  So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.  4  And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.  5  All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.  6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.  7   But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.  8  And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;  9  (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)  10  All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.  11  For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.  12  And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.  13  And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants."

KJV Deuteronomy 4:46-49  "46  On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:  47  And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;  48  From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,  49  And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah."

KJV Deuteronomy 31:3-5  "3  The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.  4  And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.  5  And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you."

KJV Deuteronomy 32:1-20  "1  Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.  2  My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:  3  Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.  4  He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.  5  They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.  6  Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?  7  Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.  8  When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance [nakhal], when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the sons of God [according to LXX & DSS].  9  For the LORD's portion [kheleq; noun related to nakhal] is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance [nakhalat; noun of nakhal].  ...  12  So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.  ... 16  They [Jeshurun] provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.  17  They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.  18  Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.  19  And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.  20  And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith."

KJV Numbers 13:1-3  1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  2  Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.  3  And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men [were] heads of the children of Israel."

KJV Numbers 13:21-33    21  So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.  22  And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)  23  And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster [one cluster!] of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.  24  The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster [one cluster that took two men and a staff to carry!!!] of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.  25  And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.  26  And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.  27  And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.  28  Nevertheless the people [be] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.  29  The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.  30  And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.  31  But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they [are] stronger than we.  32  And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, [is] a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it [are] men of a great stature.  33  And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

KJV Joshua 2:9-10  "9  And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.  10  For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed."

KJV Joshua 9:9-10  "9  And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,  10  And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth."

KJV Joshua 11:21-22  "21  And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.  22  There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained."

KJV Joshua 13:10-12  "10  And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;  11  And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;  12   All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out."

KJV Joshua 13:29-31  "29  And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.  30  And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities:31   And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families."

KJV Joshua 15:8-14  "8  And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:  9  And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjathjearim:  10  And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:  11  And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.  12  And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.  13  And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.  14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak."

KJV Joshua 17:15  "And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee."

KJV 2 Samuel 5:17-19  "17     But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.  18     The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.  19  And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand."

KJV 2 Samuel 21:15-22  "15  Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.  16  And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.  17  But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.  18  And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.  19  And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.  20  And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.  21  And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew him.  22  These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants."

KJV 2 Samuel 21:15-22  "15  Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint. 16   And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David. 17   But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him.

KJV Joshua 18:16  "16  And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel"

Jubilees 10:1-14  "1 And in the third week of this jubilee the unclean demons began to lead astray the children of  2  the sons of Noah, and to make to err and destroy them. And the sons of Noah came to Noah their father, and they told him concerning the demons which were leading astray and blinding and  3  slaying his sons' sons. And he prayed before the Lord his God, and said: 'God of the spirits of all flesh, who hast shown mercy unto me And hast saved me and my sons from the waters of the flood, And hast not caused me to perish as Thou didst the sons of perdition; For Thy grace has been great towards me, And great has been Thy mercy to my soul; Let Thy grace be lift up upon my sons, And let not wicked spirits rule over them Lest they should destroy them from the earth.  4  But do Thou bless me and my sons, that we may increase and Multiply and replenish the earth.  5  And Thou knowest how Thy Watchers, the fathers of these spirits, acted in my day: and as for these spirits which are living, imprison them and hold them fast in the place of condemnation, and let them not bring destruction on the sons of thy servant, my God; for these are malignant, and  6  created in order to destroy. And let them not rule over the spirits of the living; for Thou alone canst exercise dominion over them. And let them not have power over the sons of the righteous"

Jubilees 29:9-10  "9  a witness; wherefore the name of that place is called: 'The Heap of Witness,' after this heap. But before they used to call the land of Gilead the land of the Rephaim; for it was the land of the Rephaim, and the Rephaim were born (there), giants whose height was ten, nine, eight down to  10  seven cubits."

Jubilees 14:18-19  "18  ...  And on that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'To thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates, the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, the Perizzites, and the Rephaim, the Phakorites, and the Hivites, and the  19  Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Mysterious World - Giants - 2003 - Spring  "The word 'anak means "neck" or "necklace" in Hebrew, and there appears to have been a tradition of the Anakim being a long-necked race, that wore many necklaces, possibly stacked one upon the other. Perhaps what we are intended to understand was that the Anakim, like the 'Long Neck' Karen peoples of Myanmar and Thailand, stacked brass rings around their necks in order to stretch out their necks in an effort to enhance their height and appearance. That would also explain the alternate meanings that the rabbis were exploring, including "to press, force", as if they were forcing their heads upwards, and the idea that they "squeezed their heads into the sun", in the sense of "squeezing" their heads upward using the brass rings. This type of purposeful manipulation of the body in order to create frightening and disturbing effects, including neck and skull malformation, extensive piercing, body painting, tattooing and similarly bizarre methods of body modification, appears to have been typical of the Anakim, and of the Nephilim generally."

I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.  8  For he said unto him, Come out of the man, [thou] unclean spirit.  9  And he asked him, What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are many.  10  And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.  11  Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.  12  And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.  13  And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea."
