GIANTS IN THE BIBLE<br />
PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />
CHAPTER EIGHT<br />
THE AMORITES<br />
In fact, as a son of Canaan, Amorreus who as <strong>the</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r of <strong>the</strong> Amorite giants, would have been a<br />
direct, contemporary cous<strong>in</strong> to Nimrod. Nimrod's o<strong>the</strong>r cous<strong>in</strong>, Caphtorim is <strong>the</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r of a group of<br />
people we later discover had giants with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir midst, namely Goliath and his bro<strong>the</strong>rs who were "<strong>the</strong><br />
sons of a giant <strong>in</strong> Gath." Thus it is certa<strong>in</strong> that Canaan carried <strong>the</strong> genes of <strong>the</strong> giants over <strong>the</strong> period<br />
of flood <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> history of <strong>the</strong> new beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g of humanity<br />
Many <strong>Giants</strong> and Giant tribes appear <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bible</strong>. The problem is that <strong>the</strong>se giants are <strong>in</strong>ter-related<br />
that any attempt to classify and ennunciate <strong>the</strong>ir history will be of no use.<br />
These were different clans with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Giant Tribe, They were <strong>in</strong>ter-related and probably all started from<br />
Canaan. It is not possible to categorize <strong>the</strong>m <strong>in</strong> isolated groups because <strong>Bible</strong> often calls <strong>the</strong>m by<br />
several names. The giant sons of Anak were among <strong>the</strong> Amorites at Hebron (Numbers 13:22)<br />
called for a time as Kiriath Arba (Joshua 14:15; Joshua 15:13-14 from <strong>the</strong>ir giant fa<strong>the</strong>r) "Debir, Ahab,<br />
and <strong>the</strong> mounta<strong>in</strong>s of Judah and Israel Joshua 11:21. The valley of Rephaim" (2 Samuel 5:18),<br />
southwest of Jerusalem, connects this giant race with <strong>the</strong> Amorites, as does <strong>the</strong> fact that Og, k<strong>in</strong>g<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Amorites <strong>in</strong> Bashan, was "of <strong>the</strong> remnant of <strong>the</strong> Rephaim" (Deuteronomy 3:11; Joshua 12:4;<br />
Joshua 13:19). The Anakim were sons of Anak, who was a son of Arba, who was a (distant?)<br />
son of Amorreus, who was a son of Canaan, who generated Amorites,<br />
