GIANTS IN THE BIBLE PROF. M. M. NINAN BC) refer to both good and bad Watchers, with a primary focus on the rebellious ones. Apparently they soon begin to lust for human women and, at the prodding of their leader Samyaza, defect en masse to illicitly instruct humanity and procreate among them. Hence we have the reference to them as "the fallen ones". There were 200 of these "Sons of God" who violated God's basic orders to keep their domains and had 10 leaders. Enoch is not part of the Bible, the book of Jude quotes from it and hence most consider it as an reliable book. The book of Enoch records how “in the days of Jared” angels left their position as authorities and correctors of humans and came down to the earth and had sexual relations with women which produced the giants Nephilim. This took place near the Mount Hermon just north of Bashan (where the giant Og later reigned as the last king of the Nephilim). .Peter says that these fallen angels are kept in prison and are waiting judgment (1 Pet 3:19; Jude 6) Over time, this race of giants evolved into various clans and tribes after the fashion of the humans of earth and extended their domains and migrated southward east of the Jordan River through the region of Ammon, Moab and Edom (south of the Dead Sea). Eventually some branches of this giant race migrated across the Jordan River with some settling into the hill country of southern Canaan, and some migrating as far as the coastal plain in the region of Gaza. We know that there were giants all over the world since the daughters of man were distributed all over the world. These stories are not given in the Bible. Inside the middle east we know that a coalition led by Chedorlaomer, the Philistines, the Moabites, the Ammonites, and the Edomites, along with the Israelites were able to totally destroy them in that area. The last Giant King to be killed was Og who was 13 feet tall. Over the years probably these giants were becoming shorter, generation after generation and 400 years later in David’s day the giant Goliath was only 9 feet tall. And Goliath’s younger colleague, Ishbi-Benob, seems to have been weaker than Goliath because he used a spearhead that was only half the size of Goliath’s spearhead. The Israelites under Joshua and Caleb destroyed most of the race of giants remaining in the region of Canaan. But they did not destroy all because they left a few who were living in the Philistine cities of Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod 44
GIANTS IN THE BIBLE PROF. M. M. NINAN CHAPTER SEVEN NIMROD Nimrod was the son of Cush, the grandson of Ham, and the great grandson of Noah began to be a giant upon the earth. Cush is again the name of the region Sudan and Ethiopia of today. Apparently Nimrod ruled these regions. He was not a giant, but he was a giant hunter; therefore they say, As Nimrod the giant hunter before the Lord. - Genesis 10:8,9 (LXX) "The first among the leaders of the corrupt men was Nimrod. His father Cush had married his mother at an advanced age, and Nimrod, the offspring of this belated union, was particularly dear to him as the son of his old age. He gave him the clothes made of skins with which God had furnished Adam and Eve at the time of their leaving Paradise. Cush himself had gained possession of them through Ham. From Adam and Eve they had descended to Enoch, and from him to Methuselah, and to Noah, and the last had taken them with him into the ark. When the inmates of the ark were about to leave their refuge, Ham stole the garments and kept them concealed, finally passing them on to his first-born son Cush. Cush in turn hid them for many years. When his son Nimrod reached his twentieth year, he gave them to him. 45
