GIANTS IN THE BIBLE PROF. M. M. NINAN According to Jude, Enoch son of Jared, before the flood, in the 7th generation following Adam, stood firm against an explosion of wickedness among men that led to angelic intervention (Jude 14-15) • Since the sort of wickedness to which Jude refers required angelic intervention, it may well have concerned the Nephilim NAMES OF GIANTS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE 1. RAPHA • Early ancestor of all the giant clans in what became the region of Palestine, which included the Anakites, Emites, and Horites (Deut 2:10-12; 2 Sam 21:16,18,20,22; 1 Chron 20:4,6,8) 2. ANAK • Father of a clan of giants living southern Cannaan (Num 13:28) 3. ARBA • Forefather of Anak and the Anakim (Josh 15:13; 21:11) • Honored as “the greatest man among the Anakites” (Josh 14:15) • The Anakite name for Hebron was Kiriath-Arba meaning “City of Arba”(Josh 15:13) 4. SEPHER • Because Debir was an Anakite city like Hebron (Josh 11:21), and because the former Anakite name for Debir was Kiriath-Sepher meaning “City of Sepher,” it must be that Sepher was the name of another Anakite patriarch like Arba (Josh 15:15) 5. OG • The king of Bashan identified as the last of “the Rephaites” (Deut 3:11) • Since other giants after Og are also Rephaites, the reference most likely means that Og was the last pure blooded (100%) giant sired by an angel mixing with a human woman (see explanation of the Nephilim) 70
GIANTS IN THE BIBLE PROF. M. M. NINAN • Bashan where Og ruled is in the region of Mount Hermon, and that according to the book of Enoch is where angels sired the Nephilim • Og is the largest giant mentioned in the Bible—his bed was 13.5 feet long meaning Og was himself about 13 feet tall (Deut 3:11) • Og with his army attacked the Israelites east of the Jordan in a battle at Edrei while they were still commanded by Moses (Deut 3:1-11) • Og was defeated and killed and his territory was assigned to the half-tribe of Manasseh 6. AHIMAN • A descendant of Arba and Anak who lived in Kiriath-Arba (later named Hebron) when Israel invaded Canaan (Num 13:22) • One of 3 giants driven out of Hebron by Caleb (Josh 15:14; Jdg 1:10,20) 7. SHESHAI • A descendant of Arba and Anak who lived in Kiriath-Arba (later named Hebron) when Israel invaded Canaan (Num 13:22) • One of 3 giants driven out of Hebron by Caleb (Josh 15:14; Jdg 1:10,20) 8. TALMAI • A descendant of Arba and Anak who lived in Kiriath-Arba (later named Hebron) when Israel invaded Canaan (Num 13:22) • One of 3 giants driven out of Hebron by Caleb (Josh 15:14; Jdg 1:10,20) 9. GOLIATH • The “champion” of the Philistine army opposing the Israelites under Saul (1 Sam 17:4) • Was 9 feet tall, wore armor weighing 125 pounds, and spearhead weighed 15 pounds (1 Sam 17:4-7) • Was descended from the Anakim giants whom Joshua allowed to survive in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod (Josh 11:22) 10. LAHMI • One of the giants living in Gath • The brother of Goliath 71
