Giants in the Bible – Part I

If you ever wondered what happened to the giants, these quotes from scripture will explain the end of their story in a nut shell; The sons of Joseph were authorized to invade the “land of the giants” [xvii. 13] and Og, the king of Bashan, and the last sovereign of the Amoritish dynasty, encountered Moses at Edrei, where he fell “with his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive, and they (the Israelites) possessed the land,” Numb. xxi. 33, 34, 35.

The facts are that a giant race of people had lived on earth at one time and their descendants known as the  Nephilim who were the offspring of the “sons of God” and the “daughters of men” are still living or should I say “in power” to this very day. In fact, we all might very well be witnessing the end days of this true biblical story play rite before our very eyes as I write this on 12-21-2012.

In studying the bible, you will find several references to these giants that will make it clear to you that they in fact did exist and if you research alternative history books that delve extensively into this subject, you will clearly see that there have been hundreds, if not thousands of stories of giants and actual bones that have been found during the course of modern written history. Mysteriously many of these bones have been reported missing or stolen which adds more truth to the conspiracy than it does false hoods.

In this article I would just like to reference the various biblical passages that mention giants and also various tribes of giants that were of mixed race. All the information that I have provided below for you is found in both the Old and New Testaments with also various open source information found on the internet.

You will find giants that are ten and some over eleven feet tall mentioned several times in the Bible such as in Numbers xiii. 32, 33;

“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. And there we saw giants, the sons of Anak, which came of the giants; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” “That also (the land of Ammon) was accounted a land of giants; giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummins; a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakims.”

A Canaanitish race of giants on the other side of the Jordan, (Gen. 14. 5; 15.20; Josh. 17- 15,) from whom descended the king of Bashan, called Og the giant. (Deut. 3. 11.). To this race Og, belonged [Deut. iii. 11; Josh, xii. 4; xiii. 12], Bashan was their land [Deut. iii. 13]. There was a “valley of the giants” near Jerusalem. [Josh. xv. 8; xviii. 16].

Moses tells us the story of the strong cities of Bashan, that had high walls and gates and that Bashan was called the Land of the Giants (or Rephaim, Deut. iii. 13).  In the book of Amos 2:9 may refer to Og as “the Amorite” whose height was like the height of the cedars and whose strength was like the oaks. Then Deut. 3:11 and later in the book of Numbers and Joshua, Og is pronounced as the last of the Rephaim. Rephaim is a Hebrew word for giants. The people of Bashan were said to be a branch of the Amorites, and were very tall and larger than any of the other tribes in the desert and of Egypt at this time. The Prophet Amos describes them as high as cedars, and as strong as oaks .

“Og, King of Bashan remained of the remnant of the 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 thereof, after the cubit of a man.” (Deut . iii. 11.)

Today this would equate to 13 feet long.

Bashan, or Batanea, is now called El Bottein and was a kingdom under Amoritish sovereigns, who resided in Ashtaroth and Edrei, Deut. i. 4; Josh. ix. 10; xii. 4. After Sihon, king of the Amorites, whose capital was Heshbon, had fallen before the victorious Israelites in their passage through the Wilderness, Og, the king of Bashan, and the last sovereign of the Amoritish dynasty, encountered Moses at Edrei, where he fell “with his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive, and they (the Israelites) possessed the land,” Numb. xxi. 33, 34, 35.

The giant sons of Anak that we find a record of in Num. 13 .33: “And there we saw 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.” –

Anak (pron.: /ˈeɪˌnæk/; Heb. ‘nq spelt as both ענק and as הענק depending upon the reference) was a well-known figure during the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites who, according to the Book of Numbers, was a forefather of the Anakites^[1][2] (Heb. Anakim) who have been considered “strong and tall,” they were also said to have been a mixed race of giant people, descendants of the Nephilim (Numbers 13:33). The use of the word “nephilim” in this verse describes a crossbreed of God’s sons and the daughters of man, as cited in (Genesis 6:1-2) and (Genesis 6:4). The text states that Anak was a Rephaite (Deuteronomy 2:11) and a son of Arba (Joshua 15:13). Etymologically, Anak means [long] neck.

The Scriptures also speak of the Rephaim, or sons of Rapha, (2Sam. 21. 16,18,20,) –

In the Hebrew Bible, “Rephaim” can describe an ancient race of giants in Iron Age Israel, or the places where these individuals were thought to have lived: see Gen. 14:5, 15:20; Deut. 2:10-1,20, 3:11,13; Josh. 12:4, 13:12, 15:8, 17:15, 18:16; 2Sam. 5:11,22, 23:13; 1Chr. 11:15, 14:9, 20:4. In the biblical narrative, the Israelites are instructed to exterminate the previous inhabitants of the “promised land,” i.e. “Canaan,” which include various named peoples, including some unusually tall/large individuals.

In Gen. xiv. 5. In Deut. ii. 11, it is used of the Emims and the Anakims; so, ver. 20, where it is said “the Ammonites call them Zamzummims.”-

A a race of giants; “a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims” (Deut. 2:20, 21). They were overcome by the Ammonites, “who called them Zamzummims.” They belonged to the Rephaim, and inhabited the country afterwards occupied by the Ammonites. It has been conjectured that they might be Ham-zuzims, i.e., Zuzims dwelling in Ham, a place apparently to the south of Ashteroth (Gen. 14:5), the ancient Rabbath-ammon.

“The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim“ (Deuteronomy 2:10-11) –

The Emites (pron.: /ˈɛmaɪts/ or /ˈiːmaɪts/; Hebrew: אֵמִים) was the Moabite name for one of the tribes of Rephaim. They are described in Deuteronomy chapter 2 as having been a powerful people, populous and having a successful kingdom. They were defeated by the Moabites, who occupied their land. The Emim are also mentioned in Genesis 14:5 and according to Rashi, the name is translated as “the dreaded ones” (Hertz 1936) and the singular Ema/Emma (Hebrew: אימה) means “horror” or “terror”.

The Moabites were descendants of Lot through his daughters and according to Genesis 19 they are the same as those of the Ammonites. Ammon is derived from Ham, the son of Noah, who first peopled Egypt and Lybia, after the flood. Ammon, or Ben-ammi, the son of Lot, by his youngest daughter, Gen. xix. 38. Hadad, king of Edom, the son of Bedad, and successor of Husham (is husham where we get HAM). He was the father of the children of Ammon.(Chart 2d.) BEN-HADAD (1). / Kgs. 15:18-20; 20; 2 Kgs. 6:24; 8:7-15; 2 Chr. 16:2-4. Ben-hadad, King of Syria, “worshipper of Hadad,” was the son of Tabrimon and grandson of Hezion that dwelt on the east side of the Dead Sea, in the mountains of Gilead.

The word Amoun, means “shining.” Hence, the Ammonites are where we get the  Elohim, comes from Ellu, meaning “the Shining Ones” which is a term used for both the Nephilim and their first born. There  is an inscription found at Ostia, which dates 177-180, Hadad of Baalbek, or Jupiter Heliopolitanus, bears the title “Angel” and Baal of Heliopolis was called an “Angel.

Revelation 1:16  – In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

Genesis 6:1- And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
