GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
HOW DID THE NEPHILIM APPEAR AFTER THE FLOOD?
But those who do not consider the Doctrine of Paternal Spiritual Lineage as only an assumption to
circumvent the problem will still have to answer how they came. We certainly have giants after the
flood and continuing even today.
The Bible tells us that beings of giant physical stature lived both before and after the Flood (Genesis
6:4; Deuteronomy 2:10–12, 20–23). After the Flood, giants appear in the Bible as descendants of
Ham’s son Canaan; they were living in Canaan when Moses sent agents to spy out the land (Numbers
13:1–2, 32–33).
it is not specified that Noah’s wife, sons, nor daughter-in-law were “perfect in their generations”. It is
therefore possible that Noah’s wife (and therefore Noah’s sons) or daughters-in-law (and therefore his
grand children), were bodily related to the Nephilim.
Og, King of Bashan, was the last recorded giant east of the Jordan River (Joshua 12:4; 13:12).
After Joshua’s conquest of Canaan (Joshua 11:21–22), a few giants continued living in the Philistine
cities of Gaza, Gath and Ashdod. These giants terrorized the Israelites from the time they entered into
Canaan until late in the reign of King David. One of those giants was Goliath, whom David killed. King
David and his "mighty men" also encountered other giants (2 Samuel 21:16–22;1 Chronicles 20:4–8).
We will now take up the post-flood giants stories.
The book of Enoch :
Chapter 8
1 And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made
known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and
ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly
stones, and all coloring tinctures.
