PREFACE
This is a study on the Giants of the Bible following the Genesis 6 assertion
of the presence of the Giants on earth before the flood of the time of Noah
and also afterwards. This is a controversial subject in that several
scholars have tried to identify who the "sons of God are". Usually three
choices are found, however if we assert two creations of the man - one as
given in the Gen 1 by the Elohim where male and female are created and
given the wide earth to subdue and to fill; and the other in Gen 2 by
YHVH of Elohim who was placed inside a walled garden, we have another
choice. Adam and Eve were were Giants according to Jewish an Islamic
tradition. Evidently Adam was the Son of God and there is no need to
search within the aliens to get sons of God . Evidently daughters of the
humans were all over the the earth.
Another problem is if the flood killed all evil generations and the Nephilims,
how did the Nephilims appear after the flood? Who carried the genes
over into the New Earth?
After the flood we see a large number of giants, families, clans and even
tribes of the Giants. They are described as interconnected and we will find
it difficult to isolate or classify them.
Did the Israelite kill the giants completely? How did the giants fare in
other continents. We can actually trace their existence through the
fossils. We still do have gigantism in today's world. Are they all medical
problems or do we have the giant genes within the us.
At any rate the presence of the giants were there in the world just as the
scripture asserts. We can find that their presence alone will explain the
structures of various countries which cannot be explained with the
technologies of that period.

GIANTS OF THE BIBLE
CHAPTER ONE
NEPHILIM
There are several clans of Giants mentioned in the Bible.
The Nephilim
The earliest mention of giants in the Bible is in Genesis 6:4 just prior to the Flood account.
“There were giants [nephilim] on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God
came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who
were of old, men of renown ”(Genesis 6:4).
The word translated as “giants” in this verse is the Hebrew word nephilim. There has been much
debate over the meaning of this word. Some believe it came from the root Hebrew verb "naphal,"
which means to fall or lie, while others claim that it is from the Aramaic noun "naphil". These
individuals are described in Hebrew as gibborim(“mighty men”).
This theme of aliens from the outer world came down to earth and cohabited with human females to
produce gaints are common to almost all cultures.
In Greek mythology these aliens are often called demi-gods or gods. The mythology of Titans is
popular in the Greek culture. The word Titan probably comes from Shaitan for Satan. The twelve
Titans, children of Uranus (Heaven) and Gê (Earth), were the group of gods immediately preceding the
Olympian gods in Greek mythology. The Olympians defeated the Titans in a battle — the Titanomachy.

In appearance, they were the Giants.
GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
In addition to the Titans, Uranus and Gê produced monstrous
offspring: three beings each with a hundred hands, and three one-eyed giants (the Cyclopes).
Hercules is one popular example whose father was a god and whose mother was human.
emperors of Japan, the Kings of the Aztec’s, and Mayans, are all said to be descendants of the star
gods reminiscent of the coming of the fallen angels and their giant children.
The
We are not told any names of the giants prior to the flood. But their presence was mentioned
apparently as a reason for the cleansing of the earth and restarting a new era for earth. But then we
are told they were there even after the flood.
The nephilim were mentioned again when the spies returned from their exploratory mission of the land
of Canaan.
Num. 13:31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “ We are not able to go up against the
people, for they are too strong for us.”
Num. 13:32 So they gave out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied
out, saying, “The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its
inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size.
Num. 13:33 “There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and
we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
Gen 6 makes it clear that these giants were the result of marriage between "the Sons of God" and
the "Daughters of Man"

Who are the sons of God?
Who are the daughters of men?
Why are their progenies giants?
GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
It is also interesting that God failed to cleanse the world of Nephilims which was part of the purpose of
flood.
How did this happen?
Who are the "Sons of God" ( Bene ha Elohim):
Genesis 6 King James Version (KJV)
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters
were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives
of all which they chose.

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
3 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.
4 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.
This was one of the reasons that God had in destroying the world to end all wickedness
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination
of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both
man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have
made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and
Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his
way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with
violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
The term ‘sons of God’ is used in Genesis 6:2 and 6:4, where it is stated “the sons of God saw that the
daughters of men were beautiful. And they took wives for themselves; whoever they chose”. They had
sexual relations, and as a result the daughters of men ‘bore children to them’.
So, who are the ‘sons of God’?
The first mention of "sons of God" in the Hebrew Bible occurs at Genesis 6:1-4. But it does not define
them

CHAPTER TWO
WHO ARE THE "SONS OF GOD"?
ANGELS
First interpretation
that the ‘sons of God’ were
Angelic beings
who rebelled against God and fell from grace.
Fallen angels
According to this theory some of the angels looked down to the earth and was attracted to the beauty
of the daughters of men.
So they left their heavenly abode and took flesh somehow and married
them and had children. These children had giant proportions for some reason. And these were the
Nephilim.
A number of early sources refer to the phrase "bene Elohim" which translated verbatim as"sons of
Elohim" as Angels. The earliest such references are found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Greek,
Aramaic Enochic literatures, in certain Ge'ez manuscripts of 1 Enoch and Jubilees. The earliest
statement in support of this can be traced to the rabbinical Targum Pseudo-Jonathan
Some Christian
apologists, such as Tertullian and especially Lactantius, shared this opinion. So this may have been
the choice of the early scholars.
The New American Bible commentary suggests that the Epistle of Jude refers nephilim as "heavenly
beings"
(Jud 1:6)
who came to earth and married women and had children though this is not explicit there.
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath
reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

ἀγγέλους τε τοὺς μὴ τηρήσαντας κ.τ.λ.] ἀγγέλους without the article considered generally; the participle
connected with the article indicates the definite class of angels who are here meant implying a wider
definition of the word angel.
The prevailing idea among the Jews was, that to the angels a lordship belongs over the earthly
creation. By this explanation, also, the two clauses correspond; instead of administering their office as
rulers, they forsook their heavenly habitation, and thus became culpable.
Christian commentators have argued against this view, because of Jesus's statement that angels do
not marry.
One of the standard evidence cited in favor of the "fallen angels" interpretation includes the fact that
the phrase "the sons of God" ( literally "sons of the gods") is used twice outside of Genesis chapter 6,
in the Book of Job (1:6 and 2:1) where the phrase is translated as angels in some translations. The
Septuagint's translation of Genesis 6:2 renders this phrase as "the angels of God."
"sons of God" (Job 1:6; Job 2:1; Job 38:7) which is often translated as Angels is still "bene elohim"
(The translaion as angels is an opinion and not a true translation)
Da 3:25 is son of God, probably refers to pre-incarnate Jesus - the begotten Son of God
"sons of Elim," (Ps 29:1; Ps 89:7). (Sons of the mighty?)
Evident the original Hebrew word is still "bene Elohim" meaning "Sons of Gods" with no specific
connection to mean "angels" in those place. The translation of this as "Angels" is an imposition of the
translation and nothing more.
The expression “sons of God” occurs at Job 1:6, and here the reference is obviously to spirit sons of
God assembled in God’s presence, among whom Satan, who had been “roving about in the earth,”
also appeared. (Job 1:7; see also 2:1, 2.) Again at Job 38:4-7 “the sons of God” who ‘shouted in
applause’ when God ‘laid the cornerstone’ of the earth clearly were not simple angels but "sons of
God" . They are not humans descended from Adam, since they are not created at that point of time.
So, too, at Psalm 89:6 “the sons of God” are definitely heavenly creatures, not earthlings.
Unless we define "Angels" to include all being in heaven we cannot identify the "Sons of God" as
angels.
6

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
This is what we observe:
People in Personal relationship with God are defined "sons of God"
Israel, as the elect nation, is called his son, his first born (Ex 4:22);
Israel as the elect seed, is named the son whom God (Elohim) Ps 80:17, .
Those who have remained faithful to God (De 32:5) are Sons of God
Those who had back slidden, but returned, were sons of the living God (Ho 1:10).
Thus:
Practically nowhere the translation of "bene Elohim" as Angels can be justified.
Yet these are still in the original Hebrew "bene Elohim" meaning "Sons of Gods" with no specific
connection to mean "angels".
These can translated to mean Angels if we expand the word "Angels" to mean all spiritual beings in all
dimensions of existence.
I am not saying it does not include angels, but includes many more than just angels as we understand
what angels means. If Satan is also part of the sons of God certainly it includes many other forms of
creation within the cosmos. It would then mean every creation who partake of the dimension of Spirit
and Divine out of the four dimensions usually defined in Judeo-Christian Tradition viz. Material, Mind,
Spirit, Divine. This is indeed to be expected because God alone existed in the beginning and
everything that exists were created by God within him (since there is no outside of God). Hence all
those beings with a Spirit are Sons of God. Hence we should not be surprised if we see even Satan
in that group as a son of God. Even fallen beings are sons of God though they are under the
judgement of God. We have some indication that some fallen beings are in "prison" under sentence
now.
Second Temple Judaism
The story of the nephilim is further elaborated in the Book of Enoch. The Greek, Aramaic, and main
Ge'ez manuscripts of 1 Enoch and Jubilees obtained in the 19th century and held in the British
Museum and Vatican Library, connect the nephilim with the fallen angels, and in particular with the

a descent to earth to have sexual intercourse with human females:

CHAPTER VI.
1.And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto
them beautiful and comely daughters.
2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another:
'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.'
3. And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this
deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.'
4. And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual
imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.'
5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.
6. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount
Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by
mutual imprecations upon it.
7. And these are the names of their leaders: Sêmîazâz, their leader, Arâkîba, Râmêêl, Kôkabîêl,
Tâmîêl, Râmîêl, Dânêl, Êzêqêêl, Barâqîjâl, Asâêl, Armârôs, Batârêl, Anânêl, Zaqîêl, Samsâpêêl,

1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself
one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them
charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants.
2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells:
3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the
giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and
beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood.
6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
CHAPTER VIII.
1. And Azâzêl 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 colouring tinctures.
1. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray,
and became corrupt in all their ways.
Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings,
Armârôs the resolving of enchantments,

defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. 9. And the women have borne giants,
and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness
CHAPTER X.
1. Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech,
and said to him:
2. 'Go to Noah and tell him in my name "Hide thyself!" and reveal to him the end that is
approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come upon the
whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it.
3. And now instruct him that he may escape and his seed may be preserved for all the
generations of the world.
Targum Pseudo-Jonathan identifies the nephilim as Shemihaza
and the angels in the name list from
1 Enoch. as the angels that fell.
There are also allusions to these descendants in the
deutero-canonical books of Judith , Sirach 16:7, Baruch 3:26 –
28, and Wisdom of Solomon 14:6, and in the nondeuterocanonical
3 Maccabees 2:4. In the New Testament
Epistle of Jude 14 – 15 cites from 1 Enoch 1:9,
To most commentators this confirms that Jude regarded the
Enochic interpretations of Genesis 6 as correct. The reason for
this is the broad understanding of Angels as every being which
are spiritual or has the Spirit within them through which they have
contact with the Holy Spirit.
The argument against the interpretation that the fathers of Nephilims were angels is essentially with
the explanation who angels are by Jesus and their nature.
First: Jesus taught that angels do not marry : "For in the resurrection they [humans] neither marry nor
are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven" (Matthew 22:30; see Mark 12:25).
10

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE

Second: Angels cannot cohabit nor reproduce with women. Angels are spirit beings:
But to which of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your
footstool"? Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
(Hebrews 1:13-14)
So the angels are either created as ministering spirits to serve those who will be in the Kingdom or
those who will be "sons of God". This would actually define 'Sons of God" as those who are served by
the angels and should be different from them at least in some ways.
This is probably because they were created more like machines to serve as messengers and for
particular purposes or as I have explained by book "Two Trees and the Serpent", they are fixed on
yetser Tov (the Good) by eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, as the Humans
and Demons are fixed on Yetser Ha Ra (the Selfishness). The Demons and Adamic Race are fixed
on self centered activities. They are all in fact created as Sons of God. Hence angels can also be
included in the list of 'Sons of Gos" since we can consider Adamic race as "Sons of God" since Adam
was indeed Son of God. Did the status change because of the fall? Evidently God cared and thew
them out of the Garden to save them the eternal torture and we know God has a plan to redeem sons
of Adam and to give them all the status of the Sons of God.
There is another group who are balanced with yetser HaRa and yetser HaTov - so that they can act
with full understanding. They are the true children of God - the beings probably fallen but redeemed
God. Death of Jesus on the cross, I believe have cosmic consequence beyond just human. Only
we are not given the details. "Secret things belongs to God, But what is revealed belongs to us and
to our children."
These form the sons of God in the proper sense of the word. There are such beings in all dimensions
with perfect freedom of will and act as the heirs of God. We can of course call all created beings as
sons of God and they all partake in the creation in a limited way within the limit. But they don’t
partake of the freedom of God in creation. They sit beside the Father and is part of the functioning of
the Kingdom of God. As such there exists another group who are full partakers in Divinity and in
creation (outside of the Trinity). These "Sons of God" come from all dimensions including the Physical
Dimension made of flesh as well. It is these that have still got the total freedom of choice. What we

multidimensional physical body like the resurrected body of Jesus.
reproduce within humans. It is this that willingly violated the bound
They can indeed can marry and
Humans are one species that are "sons of God." because Adam was the son of God. Adam existed in
all dimensions of existence, Matter, Mind, Spirit and Divine.
Luke 3: 37the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the
son of Cainan, 38the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.
But humans are fixed on selfish ego and are demons now because of the disobedience which made
them eat the forbidden fruit before they were mature enough. It is because of this God drove Adam
and Eve so that they may not remain as demons eternally and God the Son incarnated and died to
redeem them giving the chance to be sons proper.
Again, the phrase "sons of God" refers certainly to Christians, regenerated by God's Spirit but still
human:
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children [sons, KJV] of God,
even to those who believe in His name."(John 1:12)
» For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. . . . For the earnest
expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. (Romans 8:14, 19)
» . . . that you may become blameless and harmless, children [sons, KJV] of God without fault in
the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world . . .
(Philippians 2:15)
» Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children
[sons, KJV] of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved,
now we are children [sons, KJV] of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we
know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. (I John 3:1-2)
» Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously with
one another by profaning the covenant of the fathers? (Malachi 2:10)
» . . . the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. (Luke 3:38)
Through Adam, then, every human being is a child of God. Mankind in general, because all men
are sons of God by creation:
12

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
"I said, 'You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High. But you shall die like men . . .'"
(Psalm 82:6-7).
Evidently those beings who were created as Sons of God with material bodies - the physical beings
with the spirit of God within them - like man will have their physical bodies even after resurrection.
This is one of the fundamental doctrines of the church. Thus some Sons of God like the redeemed
mankind will have real Physical bodies. But these bodies are not decayable. The second law of
Thermodynamics - the Law of Entropy - which says in an Isolated world everything will go from order
to disorder and will finally die. Since Sons of Gods are permanently connected to the Holy Spirit, they
are under Negative Entropy Law, where everything will go from Glory unto Glory.
Thus there are some Sons of God who are immortal who will have real physical bodies.
Alien invasion?
If as the ancient scripts asserts, they are watchers. Then where will they be placed so that they can
watch over the earth and its administration? Certainly they must be within the material realm within
out physical universe somewhere where they have an administration. This is what watchers means.
They must be having physical bodies, if they have to interact with humans on the earth.
In the modern terms they will be called aliens from outer space. If we interpret it in this way we have
a justification and a possible explanation. Alien observers from outer space appointed by God to the
affairs of earth, came down to earth and intermingled with humans and produced Nephelim. In other
words what the Bible and ancient Sumerian scripts are asserting is that there was an intervention of
aliens into the earth. What the Bible asserts is that this intervention was against God's intentions.
While evidently they went on for many hundreds of years before the flood, God intervened and
cleansed the world of them and their progenies through the flood. But their genetic presence
continued even after the flood and the cleansing of that remaining genetic products was the work of
Isra-El. Eventually we are told that the whole giant genetic continuations were destroyed.

The Bible tells us that when Jesus returns to earth, he will physically raise all those who have died,
giving them back the bodies they lost at death.
These will be the same bodies people had in earthly life—but our resurrection bodies will not die
and, for the righteous, they will be transformed into a glorified state, freed from suffering and pain,
and enabled to do many of the amazing things Jesus could do with his glorified body (cf. 1 Cor.
15:35–44, 1 John 3:2).
The resurrection of the body is an essential Christian doctrine, as the apostle Paul declares: "[I]f
the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not been raised, your faith is
futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have
perished" (1 Cor. 15:13–18).
Because, as Paul tells us, the Christian faith cannot exist without this doctrine, it has been
infallibly defined by the Church. It is included in the three infallible professions of faith—the
Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed—and has been solemnly, infallibly
taught by ecumenical councils.
The Fourth Lateran Council (1215), infallibly defined that at the second coming Jesus "will judge
the living and the dead, to render to every person according to his works, both to the reprobate
and to the elect. All of them will rise with their own bodies, which they now wear, so as to receive
according to their deserts, whether these be good or bad [Rom. 2:6–11]" (constitution 1).
Most recently, the Catechism of the Catholic Church reiterated this long-defined teaching, stating,
"‘We believe in the true resurrection of this flesh that we now possess’ (Council of Lyons II). We
sow a corruptible body in the tomb, but he raises up an incorruptible body, a ‘spiritual body’ (cf. 1
Cor 15:42–44)" (CCC 1017).

As the following quotes from the Church Fathers show, this has been the historic teaching of the
Christian faith on the matter since the very beginning. …
The Apostles’ Creed
"I believe in . . . the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the flesh. Amen" (Old Roman Symbol
[A.D. 125]). ….
Second Clement
"Let none of you say that this flesh is not judged and does not rise again. Just think: In what state
were you saved, and in what state did you recover your [spiritual] sight, if not in the flesh? In the
same manner, as you were called in the flesh, so you shall come in the flesh. If Christ, the Lord
who saved us, though he was originally spirit, became flesh and in this state called us, so also
shall we receive our reward in the flesh. Let us, therefore, love one another, so that we may all
come into the kingdom of God" (Second Clement 9:1–6 [A.D. 150]). …..
Justin Martyr
"Indeed, God calls even the body to resurrection and promises it everlasting life. When he
promises to save the man, he thereby makes his promise to the flesh. What is man but a rational
living being composed of soul and body? Is the soul by itself a man? No, it is but the soul of a
man. Can the body be called a man? No, it can but be called the body of a man. If, then,
neither of these is by itself a man, but that which is composed of the two together is called
a man, and if God has called man to life and resurrection, he has called not a part, but the whole,
which is the soul and the body" (The Resurrection 8 [A.D. 153]). ……
Tertullian
"Therefore, the flesh shall rise again: certainly of every man, certainly the same flesh, and
certainly in its entirety. Wherever it is, in the safekeeping with God through that most faithful
agent between God and man, Jesus Christ, who shall reconcile both God to man and man to God,

to a body. Moreover, if resurrection is of the dead, and ‘dead’ applies only to a body, the
resurrection will be of a body. . . . ‘To rise’ may be said of that which never in any way fell, but
which was always lying down. But ‘to rise again’ can only be said of that which has fallen; for by
‘rising again’ that which fell is said to ‘re-surrect.’ The syllable ‘re-’ always implies iteration
[happening again]. We say, therefore, that a body falls to the ground in death . . . and that which
falls, rises again" (Against Marcion 5:9:3–4 [A.D. 210]).

"This body shall be raised, not remaining weak as it is now, but this same body shall be raised.
By putting on incorruption, it shall be altered, as iron blending with fire becomes fire—or rather,

not remain such as it is. Rather, it shall abide as an eternal body. It shall no longer require for its
life such nourishment as now, nor shall it require a ladder for its ascent; for it shall be made a
spiritual body, a marvelous thing, such as we have not the ability to describe" (Catechetical

The Bible is clear that angels do not bring forth children. Matthew 22:29-30 says, "29 Jesus
answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God
in heaven."
The Bible is clear that God has set a boundary between the "kinds," and that they cannot
interbreed. 1 Corinthians 15:39 says, "39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one
kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds."

Genesis 1:24-27 says, "24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his
kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Angels can appear in human flesh as body, and do some things that bodies of flesh can do
(like eat food etc as we see in many ocasions in the Bible.
Lot
Genesis 19:1-3 says, "1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of
Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward
the ground; 2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house,
and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they
said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. 3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and
they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake
unleavened bread, and they did eat."),
But angels do not have regular bodies of flesh and bones.
Angels are spirit-beings.
Hebrews 1:7 says, "And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a
flame of fire."
Hebrews 1:13-14 says, "13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to
minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”
By definition "Angels are those who are fixed with the nature of serving God and all Sons of
God". However we use the term loosely to refer to all Spirit beings - Sons of God, Serving
Angels, even Demons.
Spirit beings do not have flesh and bones even if they take human form. This is because
they do not have material dimension.
The form is only a shadow of their spiritual form.

Luke 24:38-39 says, “38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise
in your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a
spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.”
But we see that resurrected Jesus indeed had flesh and bones. But his body could by pass or go
around walls. Did he not appear to disciples who were inside closed doors. So resurrected body of
Jesus ( as ours will also be) existing in more dimensions than the material three dimensions. So will be
all the Sons of Adam who are saved and brought back from the dead - resurrect humans. They wll be
called Sons of God - yet fully human.
Even if some fallen angels - if they were not human - committed immorality with women, it would not
have produced any offspring, because it would be crossing over between the "kinds" (making a
half-man/half-angel). Evolution and change is limited within the species according to the Genesis
creation story "only according to its kind". Within the species, yes they can evolve and mate and
reproduce.
God does not allow conception between the “kinds” or between “strange flesh” encounters.
Hence if there was a fall from the " Sons of God" it would have to be the raptured or taken to heaven
humans or any humans who had become Sons of God in its fullness in the manner of Enoch and Elijah.
Having their resurrected changed bodies. As Sons of God they still have their freedom of choice and
will. According to Jesus they don’t marry or are given in marriage. But fallen again they can do that
in violation of God's laws. With their freedom they can fall into the desires of flesh.

WHO ARE THE "SONS OF GOD"?
SECOND INTERPRETATION

Daughters of Men are descendants of Cain
Some considers Sons of Seth as equivalent to Sons of God through Adam.
God all his children should be Sons of God.
Since Adam is a Son of
Then it must be true also of the Sons of Cain, as he is
also a son of Adam. But these people identity Daughters of Men as ungodly female descendants of
Cain. That is where the problem of this choice.
Others who who consider Cain as the son of the Serpent who is identified as Satan also seems to
accept this. How can this be. If Cain
is the son of Satan, his daughters are
not sons of Adam but daughters of
Satan. Satan must be a human to
produce children like Cain.
What is meant by this choice is they
are referring to the godly descendants
of Seth. As opposed to the ungodly
female descendants of Cain. Their sin
would then be one of religiously mixed
marriages between the godly and the

ungodly. It doesn’t explain the meaning of the Nephilim. Why should their children be giants. Either
both Cain and Seth were giants or both are normal human beings.
Translated by Rutherford H. Platt, Jr., "The Forgotten Books of Eden" (1926):
"1 AFTER the death of Adam and of Eve, Seth severed his children, and his children's children,
from Cain's children. Cain and his seed went down and dwelt westward, below the place where he
had killed his brother Abel.
2 But Seth and his children, dwelt northwards upon the mountain of the Cave of Treasures, in
order to be near to their father Adam.
3 And Seth the elder, tall and good, with a fine soul, and of a strong mind, stood at the head of his
people; and tended them in innocence, penitence, and meekness, and did not allow one of them
to go down to Cain's children.
4 But because of their own purity, they were named "Children of God," and they were with God,
instead of the hosts of angels who fell; for they continued in praises to God, and in singing psalms
unto Him, in their cave--the Cave of Treasures."

On the commentary of Gen 4:26 Clark's Commentary mentions the comment by Memonides which
says that even the descendants of Seth went wrong and became idol worshippers. All children of
Adam except a few persons as Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Sham, and Heber went astray and became
worshippers of idols and stars.

Verse 26
"Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord - The marginal reading is, Then began men to
call themselves by the name of the Lord; which words are supposed to signify that in the time of
Enos the true followers of God began to distinguish themselves, and to be distinguished
by others, by the appellation of sons of God; those of the other branch of Adam's family,
among whom the Divine worship was not observed, being distinguished by the name,
הוחל children of men. It must not be dissembled that many eminent men have contended that
huchal, which we translate began, should be rendered began profanely, or then profanation
began, and from this time they date the origin of idolatry. Most of the Jewish doctors were of this
opinion, and Maimonides has discussed it at some length in his Treatise on Idolatry; as this piece
is curious, and gives the most probable account of the origin and progress of idolatry, I shall
insert it here.
"In the days of Enos the sons of Adam erred with great error, and the counsel of the wise men
of that age became brutish, and Enos himself was (one) of them that erred; and their error was
this: they said, Forasmuch as God hath created these stars and spheres to govern the world, and
set them on high, and imparted honor unto them, and they are ministers that minister before him;
it is meet that men should laud, and glorify, and give them honor. For this is the will of God, that
we magnify and honor whomsoever he magnifieth and honoureth; even as a king would have
them honored that stand before him, and this is the honor of the king himself. When this thing was
come up into their hearts they began to build temples unto the stars, and to offer sacrifice unto
them, and to laud and glorify them with words, and to worship before them, that they might in their
evil opinion obtain favor of the Creator; and this was the root of idolatry, etc. And in process of
time there stood up false prophets among the sons of Adam, which said that God had
commanded and said unto them, Worship such a star, or all the stars, and do sacrifice
unto them thus and thus; and build a temple for it, and make an image of it, that all the
people, women, and children may worship it. And the false prophet showed them the image
which he had feigned out of his own heart, and said it was the image of such a star, which was
made known unto him by prophecy. And they began after this manner to make images in temples,
and under trees, and on tops of mountains and hills, and assembled together and worshipped
23

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
them, etc. And this thing was spread through all the world, to serve images with services different
one from another, and to sacrifice unto and worship them. So, in process of time, the glorious and
fearful name (of God) was forgotten out of the mouth of all living, and out of their knowledge, and
they acknowledged him not.
And there was found no people on the earth that knew aught, save images of wood and stone,
and temples of stone, which they had been trained up from their childhood to worship and serve,
and to swear by their names. And the wise men that were among them, as the priests and such
like, thought there was no God save the stars and spheres, for whose sake and in whose likeness
they had made these images; but as for the Rock everlasting, there was no man that
acknowledged him or knew him save a few persons in the world, as Enoch, Methuselah,
Noah, Sham, and Heber. And in this way did the world walk and converse till that pillar of
the world, Abraham our father, was born."
Maimonides. - Clarke's Commentary on the Bible on Genesis 4:26

support the above thesis:
"And Seth lived one hundred and five years, and he begat a son; and Seth called the name of his
son Enosh, saying, Because in that time the sons of men began to multiply, and to afflict their
souls and hearts by transgressing and rebelling against God. And it was in the days of Enosh
that the sons of men continued to rebel and transgress against God, to increase the anger of
the Lord against the sons of men. And the sons of men went and they served other gods, and
they forgot the Lord who had created them in the earth: and in those days the sons of men made
images of brass and iron, wood and stone, and they bowed down and served them. And every
man made his god and they bowed down to them, and the sons of men forsook the Lord all the
days of Enosh and his children; and the anger of the Lord was kindled on account of their works
and abominations which they did in the earth.
"And the Lord caused the waters of the river Gihon to overwhelm them, and he destroyed and
consumed them, and he destroyed the third part of the earth, and notwithstanding this, the sons of

men did not turn from their evil ways, and their hands were yet extended to do evil in the sight of
the Lord. And in those days there was neither sowing nor reaping in the earth; and there was no
food for the sons of men and the famine was very great in those days. And the seed which they
sowed in those days in the ground became thorns, thistles and briers; for from the days of Adam
was this declaration concerning the earth, of the curse of God, which he cursed the earth, on
account of the sin which Adam sinned before the Lord. And it was when men continued to rebel
and transgress against God, and to corrupt their ways, that the earth also became corrupt."
- Jasher 2:2-9
According to this God even had a flood filling one third of the earth to destroy the heresy started by
Enos.
Targum of Onkelos and Targum of Jonathan supports this again
http://biblehub.com/commentaries/genesis/4-26.htm
"Then in his (Enos) days the children of men ceased from praying in the name of the Lord;''
and the Targum of Jonathan is,"this was the age, in the days of which they began to err, and
they made themselves idols, and surnamed their idols by the name of the Word of the Lord;''
with which agrees the note of Jarchi,"then they began to call the names of men, and the names of
herbs, by the name of the blessed God, to make idols of them:''and some of them say, particularly
Maimonides (r), that Enos himself erred, and fell into idolatry, and was the first inventor of images,
by the mediation of which men prayed to God: but all this seems to be without foundation, and
injurious to the character of this antediluvian patriarch; nor does it appear that idolatry obtained in
the posterity of Seth, or among the people of God so early; nor is such an account agreeable to
the history which Moses is giving of the family of Seth, in opposition to that of Cain; wherefore one
or other of the former senses is best."

PROF. M. M. NINAN
This is not part of the scripture but the
understanding or explanation of Jewish
Rabbi.
At any rate at least some of Jewish tradition
object to the Sethic line as sons of God.
The major problem in this argument of Sons
of God as Sethic line and Sons of Man as
Cainites is the fact we have corroboration to
the identity of Sethic line Noah having
married the Cainite Naamah. Hence we
should expect the whole mankind has got the
Nephillim gene. God has not killed all those
violators and on the other hand chose one to
continue the human line and to fill the earth
with them!!
Genesis 5 gives us the genealogy of Seth
which ends with Noah and Genesis 4 gives
us the genealogy of Cain which ends with a woman named Naamah.
The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair and took them as wives (Genesis 6:2), and
Noah was one of these “sons of God” and the “daughter of man” that Noah took for a wife was named
Naamah from the line of Cain, Daughter of Lamech through his wife Zillah and the sister of Tubal Cain.
Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was
Zillah. And Adah bore Jabal . . . his brother’s name was Jubal . . . And as for Zillah, she also bore
Tubal-Cain . . . and the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah. (Genesis 4:19–22)
The early Jewish midrash Genesis Rabba (23.3) identifies this Naamah (the daughter of Lamech and
sister of Tubal-cain) as the wife of Noah (see Rashi's commentary on Genesis 4:22). It is also found
in the controversial book of Jasher. 11th-century Jewish commentator Rashi in his commentary on
Genesis 4:22. also confirms this. Rabbi Abba bar Kahanah said: Na'amah was the wife of Noah, and
why was she called Na'amah (pleasant one)? Since her deeds were pleasing , and our rabbis said:
26

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
There was another Na'amah, and why did they call her Na'amah? She played melodies on the drum to
accompany idolatry".
Naamah the Mother of All Mankind
The family of Cain is described at length in order to reveal the identity of the second mother of mankind
- the first being Eve. Her name indicates that she deserved to survive. Inspite of the fact the mention of
her family background would not have been complimentary to her, we are given that in detail. From
her being saved it becomes clear that not all the descendants of Cain were without hope of redemption
and therefore Cain received Divine Revelation. Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Yehuda Berlin comments in his
commentary Ha'amek Davar on Genesis 4: 32 "from that which was good in Cain the world was
established, through this woman, and he had the privilege of joining in the survival of the world with the
seed of Seth, who were the purpose of creation".
If this is true, it will evidently makes it clear that the association of Sons of God as sons of Seth and
Daughters of Man as daughters of Cain is totally invalid. Cain's progeny is like Eve, the Mother of All
Living.
Again if this is true, the flood did not make any difference as far as the Nephilim genes were concerned.
The only thing happened was the reduction of the life time of humans. Both Cain and Seth are with
us in our genes. This will corroborate the statement "Nephilims were on the earth at that time and
also afterwords"
The rationale for choosing Naamah as the name for Noah’s wife is that some interpreters believe the
mention of Naamah in Genesis 4:22 must have some special significance and that there was a town
in Canaan conquered by Joshua named Naamah .
http://www.propheticrevelation.net/misc/noah_ham_giants.htm
Jewish Encyclopedia gives the following explanation and excuse and explains why Noah was
considered righteous:
"Although Noah is styled "a just man and perfect in his generations" (Gen. vi. 9), the degree of his
righteousness is, nevertheless, much discussed by the Rabbis. Some of the latter think that Noah was
27

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
a just man only in comparison with his generation, which was very wicked, but that he could not be
compared with any of the other righteous men mentioned in the Bible. These same rabbis go still
further and assert that Noah himself was included in the divine decree of destruction, but that he
found grace in the eyes of the Lord (comp. ib. vi. 8) for the sake of his descendants.
Other rabbis, on the contrary, extol Noah's righteousness, saying that his generation had no influence
on him, and that had he lived in another generation, his righteousness would have been still more
strongly marked (Sanh. 108a; Gen. R. xxx. 10).
In like manner, the terms "wise" ("ḥakam") and "stupid" ("ba'ar") are applied to Noah by different
rabbis (Ex. R. l. 2; Num. R. x. 9). Still, it is generally acknowledged that before the Flood, Noah was, by
comparison with his contemporaries, a really up-rigḥt man and a prophet. He was considered as God's
shepherd (Lev. R. i. 9; "Yalḳ. Ḥadash," "Mosheh," No. 128).
Two different reasons are given why Noah begat no children until he had reached the advanced age of
500 years, while his ancestors had families at a much younger age (comp. Gen. v.). One explanation
is that Noah, foreseeing that a flood would destroy the world on account of its corruption, refused to
marry on the ground that his offspring would perish. God, however, ordered him to take a wife, so that
after the Flood he might re-people the earth (Tan., Bereshit, 39; "Sefer ha-Yashar," section "Noaḥ").
The other explanation is that God rendered him impotent till he reached the age of 500, saying: "If his
children be wicked, he will be afflicted by their destruction; and if they be upright like their father, they
will be troubled with making so many arks" (Gen. R. xxvi. 2).
The "Sefer ha-Yashar" (l.c.) and Gen. R. (xxii. 4) both agree that Noah's wife was called Naamah.
According to the latter, she was the sister of Tubal-cain (Gen. iv. 21); according to the former, she was
a daughter of Enoch, and Noah married her when he was 498 years old.
In the Book of Jubilees (Hebr. transl. by Rubin, iv. 46-47) Noah's wife is referred to as "Emẓara,
daughter of Raḳi'el." Emẓara was his niece, and two years after their marriage bore him Shem.

12 Noah the son of Lamech refrained from taking a wife in those days, to beget children, for he
said, Surely now God will destroy the earth, wherefore then shall I beget children?
13 And Noah was a just man, he was perfect in his generation, and the Lord chose him to raise up
seed from his seed upon the face of the earth.
14 And the Lord said unto Noah, Take unto thee a wife, and beget children, for I have seen thee
righteous before me in this generation.
15 And thou shalt raise up seed, and thy children with thee, in the midst of the earth; and Noah
went and took a wife, and he chose Naamah the daughter of Enoch, and she was five hundred
and eighty years old.
16 And Noah was four hundred and ninety-eight years old, when he took Naamah for a wife.
17 And Naamah conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Japheth, saying, God has
enlarged me in the earth; and she conceived again and bare a son, and he called his name Shem,
saying, God has made me a remnant, to raise up seed in the midst of the earth.
18 And Noah was five hundred and two years old when Naamah bare Shem, and the boys grew
up and went in the ways of the Lord, in all that Methuselah and Noah their father taught them.

Wives of the Children of Noah.
Apart from the wife of Noah, there were three other women in the Ark. Here again the Bible is silent
about who they were. However the book of Jasher give some details in this matter. Noah we are

Apparently after waiting for 115 years of continuous preaching of Noah which came to no change in

WHO ARE THE "SONS OF GOD"?
NOBLES
The Third Explanation is that
The Sons of God are Nobles in the Society.
Those who hold the royalty position see the “sons of God” as polygamous kings, nobles, or tyrants
who viewed themselves as gods. These kings lusted for power and “took wives” from among the
common people, forcing them to join their harems. Their children held powers over common people
and often perverted jusice. The Kings and special people often claimed themselves as gods. This
is evident in Greek and Roman cultures specially. Targum Onqelos, Symmachus and the Samaritan
Targum which read sons of the rulers , where Targum Neophyti reads sons of the judges .
Again we cannot see any reason to assume why their descendants become giants. Unless we assume
that giants simply mean evil or corrupt etc. It does not make sense. In this theory their offspring were
called great/mighty men or princes. Then the word "giant" in this case does not means the giant size
but "Nephilim" simply mean "gibborim" evil. Which is the meaning of Nephilim when combined with
the word ‘gibborim’. So this simply means, the people of authority and power became evil and their
children became evil as such. This of course does not explain the presence of the giants and
explains only the perversion of the authorities. Is that not the characteristics of the fallen human
demons?

Adam and Eve who were created by YHVH and placed in the Eden were of Giant size. God's garden
provided nourishment and long life of a 900 years made them giants. Jewish tradition makes Adam
around 90 feet tall. The pre-Adamic people created by Elohim in Genesis 1 on the sixth day.
According to the fossils found around the world they were just 6 feet tall and lived only around 70 years.
In this case probably what happened . The Adamic children born to Adam when they came outside of
Eden were still giants. They married the daughters of men who were there produced giant children.
Here there is no conflict of species because both are essentially human with physical bodies. The
intermingling of these two humans produced giants following the genes of the Adamic humans. They
were gibborims - evil and followed idol worship and the rituals of the children of men.

This will probably fit the description in every sense. The children of Adam are indeed Children of God
and were giants.
Once Adam and Eve were thrown out into the wide earth they certainly had come into contact with
the ordinary humans who were hunter gatherers of the earth. Since we are not given the names of
the wives of the children of Adam and Eve and also the children of the progeny, we can very well
assume that they took wives from among the nomads. They might have been strong and beautiful as
the verse suggests. Since Adam's sons were of giant stature, the children born with them were of the
giant stature. When the verse says there were giants on the earth at that time, we should think they
were referring to the minority humans of the children of Adam. Adamic progeny were few in number
compared the people of the wide earth. But after the flood, some of the genes were carried over
and the size became really giant size since the height and size of the humans as well as that of the
Adamic people after the flood was indeed only of the order of 6 feet. Thus the occasional giants were
noticed. Apart from the post-flood conditions of earth and the fast decay rate and poor nourishment of
the outside of Eden vegetables and other food, the marriage of Adamic people with the non-Adamic
humans would have been another cause of decrease in the size and stature of the children of Adam.
The giant Adamsons married normal less than 6 foot human women and eventually, every one
became short. Only in rare cases the giants are formed - a lingering genes.

Book of Enoch and Book of Jubilees and the Qumran community that produced the Dead Sea Scrolls,
the Elioud (also called Eljo) are the antediluvian children of the Nephilim and are considered a
part-angel par hyman hybrid race.
"They comprise three classes:
the original giants,
who begot the Nephilim,
to whom in turn, were born the Elouid "
(Book of Enoch, vii. 2).
One of giants mentioned in the Bible as a giant at Gath and his children is sometimes alleged to refer
to the Elioud is stated as having six fingers on each hand and each foot
The Nephilim are defined as children whose father is an angel and whose mother is a human and they
are the "giants" (also known as Gibborim) referred to in the book of Numbers. But these definitions are
pretty vague in that there are references in the non-canonical books that angels and human women
produce children who are Gibborim, and the Nephilim have fathers who are Gibborim and human
mothers.
1 Enoch 7:2 and 7:10-11. they are called just angels while in the Aramaic fragments found in Qumran
Cave 4 they are called "Watchers". .Watchers are mentioned in Daniel 4:13, 17, 23 as the Holy Ones.
and Book of Enoch describes the fall of the Watchers thus identifying the angels who fell as Watchers:

The 1913 translation of R.H. Charles of the Book of Jubilees 7:21-25 reads as follows

Some scholars suggest that the children of Elouid formed the hominids such as Neanderthal and
others which are found in the fossil studies. Neanderthals were not the only hominin species that
Adamic humans mated with, according to a new study East Asian populations share genes with a
mysterious archaic hominin species that lived in Siberia, the Denisovans that are a close cousin to the
Neanderthal. Neanderthals, lived in Europe, the Middle East and parts of western Asia from about
500,000 years ago to as recently as 30,000 years ago, say scientists. The amount of genetic variation
throughout all modern human populations is surprisingly small and implies a recent origin for the
common ancestor of us all. Accordingly, this agrees with Noah’s flood where in Genesis the Nephilim

and their children are destroyed. Even if there were other incursions of fallen angels they never again
corrupted humanity to the degree they had previously to the flood.
According to tradition, the Nephilim had enormous psychic abilities. They performed levitation, mind
control, and remote viewing. They had the power of pronouncing and removing curses and diseases,
and had ways of knowing and predicting the future. They were extremely intelligent. They knew all
about science, architecture, and engineering. They combined these skills with their powers of
intelligence to build the Pyramids and the other great monuments around the world. According to
1Enoch they created human sacrifice. They drank blood, were cannibals and taught abortion.
The book of Enoch states, "And the fifth was named Kasdeja: this is he who showed the children of
men all the wicked smitings of spirits and demons, and the smitings of the embryo in the womb, that it
may pass away, and the smitings of the soul the bites of the serpent…” (Enoch 69:12a)
The incarnation required that Jesus be of human origin.
This is probably why Satan wanted tamper

redemption through a human bloodline. They were the heroes of old, the mighty men of renown, talked

Otherwise we have to fall back on to the idea that one of ladies in the ark carried the Nephilim genes.
Here is the argument. It stands with the Doctrine of Paternal Spiritual Lineage which states that the
spirit of the children comes from the Fathers and only the body comes from the Mothers. As a
result even when giants are born, they will still have the spirit of Adam since Noah was a righteous
man. It does not matter who the wives of the four in the ark were - they could even be Nephilims.

No Nephilim After Flood
http://paradoxbrown.com/nonephilimpostflood.htm/
But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a
just man [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.” Gen 6:8-9
The Bible specifies that Noah was “perfect in his generations”. This can refer to being spotless or
unblemished in his lineage. Why does God specify this? It would make sense that God said this to
make clear that Noah was completely uncorrupted in his lineage, both paternal and maternal,
having no ancestors that were related to the Nephilim-giants in any way. Noah was the paternal
ancestor of every human who would come after the flood, his sons and all their children, who all
humanity would be replenished from.
However, 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 grandchildren), were bodily related to the Nephilim. According
to the doctrine of Paternal Spiritual Lineage, it did not matter if Noah’s wife was in fact even a
Nephilim-giant, because Noah’s sons and all their children would have human-spirits, because
Noah had a perfect human lineage and a human-spirit.
But it seems far more likely that Noah’s wife or daughters-in-law were humans, but unfortunately
one or all were descended from a human-granddaughter of a Nephilim-giant. This would mean
that while the women on the ark were human, not even giants, they could still carry the genes for
hereditary gigantism, as well as genes causing a shortened lifespan. It could be argued that
besides the stated exception of Noah, that his wife and sons’ flesh had also been somewhat
corrupted, as all flesh had been corrupted,
“And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its way
upon the earth.” (Gen 6:12)…….

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE

The human-giants after the flood did not have any atmospheric advantage, and there are
indications they were in poor health, like those with gigantism today. For instance, one very
plausible theory is that Goliath died by the stone hitting his head because of poor health and
medical conditions which directly related to him having pituitary gigantism.
“And David put his hand into his bag and took from it a stone and slung it,
39
and struck the
Philistine on his forehead. And the stone sank into his forehead, so that he fell on his face to
the ground. Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone,
and he struck
the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand.” 1 Sam 17:49-50
“Undoubtedly Goliath’s great size was due to acromegaly secondary to a pituitary macroadenoma.
This pituitary adenoma was apparently large enough to induce visual field deficits by its pressure
on the optic chiasm, which made Goliath unable to follow the young David as he circled him. The
stone entered Goliath’s cranial vault through a markedly thinned frontal bone, which resulted from
enlargement of the frontal paranasal sinus, a frequent feature of acromegaly. The stone lodged in
Goliath’s enlarged pituitary and caused a pituitary hemorrhage, resulting in transtentorial
herniation and death.”
– Dr. Stanley Sprecher, MD
http://radiology.rsna.org/content/176/1/288.2.full.pdf
The Post-flood giant were due to acromegaly (acromegaly= A disorder in adults in which the pituitary
gland produces too much growth hormone.)The poor health of these giants could also be argued in
that whole villages of giants were killed off by the Israelites without any noted difficulty. (Deut 3:1-11,
Josh 11:21)
God had the Israelites kill off these giant tribes entirely (men, women, and children), and this was likely
for one very understandable reason.
Using modern hereditary gigantism as a model, esp. FIPA (Familial Isolated Pituitary Adenomas ),
each successive generation has a younger onset for the illness. This means that what might start as
acromegaly, with adult onset, in a few generations would be more likely to result in gigantism that
begins in childhood. That is for those who do express the genes and have gigantism. At the same time,
most people in the family are carriers who do not get the disorder, and some do not even carry it. In
modern cases, an entire family or village of giants doesn’t happen. But there is a reason why.

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
It is very likely that the only way that you would get this genetic disorder to be so strongly reinforced as
to have an entire tribes of giants, where every man, woman, and child has the genetic disorder, is by
inbreeding. The scientific understanding of hereditary gigantism supports this assertion. (3,8) And we
know that these people did practice inbreeding. God confirms these nations practiced inbreeding in
Leviticus 18, and this is what it would take to get entire villages of giants, in which every man woman
and child was a giant. For instance, FIPA is a dominant trait with only incomplete penetration, meaning
it acts recessive in many ways, and so it would be almost impossible to get a whole village of giant
people, except if the trait was reinforced through inbreeding, like the close inbreeding Lev 18 mentions,
making the trait to show very dominantly…..
“And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and
toes [were] four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]: and he also was the son of
the giant. But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him. These
were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his
servants.” 1 Ch 20:6-8
Like a quarantine, to save much more of humanity from the genetic disorder of gigantism, God had
these tribes of giant people to be killed. This was a mercy on any children they may have had, and
future generations, as gigantism is a very painful, deforming and disabling genetic disorder. This also
was protective against spreading this genetic disorder to all those peoples around them, including the
Israelites. (Jdg 3:5-7)

Figure below:. Autosomal dominant disease with incomplete penetrance. In this case, the
father's abnormal gene was inherited by 2 of his 4 children. Out of the three carriers (the father,
one son and one daughter) two patients developed the disease (father and daughter) while the
third carries the gene but has not developed the disease. We do not know if this third person
(the carrier son in this case) will develop the disease in the future or not, and currently it is not
possible to predict this.
Families with pituitary adenomas, FIPA families, can be divided into two groups.
40

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
In about 80% of families the gene causing the disease is unknown. The pituitary tumour types
occurring in these families are most commonly growth hormone-secreting adenomas
(causing acromegaly or acromegalic gigantism), prolactin-secreting adenomas
(prolactinomas) or non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA), very rarely ACTH-secreting
adenomas (causing Cushing's disease) or TSH-secreting adenomas. The disease most
often starts in adulthood, very rarely in childhood (average age of disease onset in our
cohort for AIP negative FIPA patients is 38 years). These families usually only have two or
three patients known with the disease.
We still have giants even today due this disorder.

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.

Nephilim after the flood
The Giant Story
We come across very many different names and clans and tribes of Giants.
But we can trace them
all from the original Giants Nephilim who were there before the flood and the scripture reminds us that
they were there also after the flood.
The name Nephilim literally means “fallen ones”. As we have discussed earlier, the Nephilim came
from Sons of God mixing with human women (Gen 6:2), We hare discussed various interpretation
who these Sons of God are and who these Daughters of Man are. The book of Enoch identifies Sons
of God as Angels, particulary identifies them as a class of angels called Watchers.
In the Book of Enoch, the watchers are angels dispatched to Earth to watch over the humans. Watcher
is a term used in connection with biblical angels. Watcher occurs in both plural and singular forms in
the Book of Daniel, where reference is made to their holiness. Watcher comes from the root of
Hebrew. "ʿer", meaning "awake, watchful";Greek: ἐγρήγοροι, (Grgori,) "Watchers", "those who are
awake"; "guard", "watcher" is a term used in connection with biblical angels. Evidently these angels
were supposed to be servants of God who were supposed to be watching the humans on the earth.
They were "Sons of God" in authority over humans. Thus we see Daniel 4:17 "This sentence is by
the decree of the watchers, and the decision by the word of the holy ones: that the living may know
that the Most High rule over the kingdom of men, and give it to whomsoever he will, and set up over it
the basest of men." Watcher occurs in both plural and singular forms in the Book of Daniel (4th–2nd
century BC), where reference is made to their holiness and their authority over mankind. Evidently
they had freedom to choose and some of them choose evil. Since they had the freedom of will, they
should be part of the proper "Sons of God". Aramaic irin "watchers" is rendered as "angel" (Greek
angelos, Coptic malah) in the Greek and Ethiopian translations, although the usual Aramaic term for
angel malakha does not occur in Aramaic Enoch. The apocryphal Books of Enoch (2nd–1st centuries
43

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

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.

These garments had a wonderful property. He who wore them was both invincible and irresistible.
The beasts and birds of the woods fell down before Nimrod as soon as they caught sight of him
arrayed in them, and he was equally victorious in his combats with men. The source of his
unconquerable strength was not known to them. They attributed it to his personal prowess, and
therefore they appointed him king over themselves"
The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg (1909)
It was in this area that Nimrod was born, and would eventually depart from there to Shinar to establish
the following important “Middle Eastern” Biblical cities (Genesis 10:10): Babel, Erech, Accad, Calneh
These places were located in Shinar, the area currently known as Iraq.
Nimrod was often depicted as a mighty warrior, giant and possibly a hunter and subduer of giants as
well. In fact, giants are even said to have helped him build the Tower of Babel. An Arabic manuscript
found at Baalbek says:
"After the flood, when Nimrod reigned over Lebanon, he sent giants to rebuild the fortress of Baalbek,
which was so named in honour of Baal, the god of the Moabites and worshippers of the Sun."
Josephus says Nimrod tried to ascribe success not by the power of God but my the power of human
ingenuity. In this he was defying God.
“Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the
grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE

to ascribe it to God, as if it were through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their
own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny,
seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence
on his power. He also said he would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world
again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to reach. And that he would avenge
himself on God for destroying their forefathers.
Nimrod’s name means rebel. Apparently his rebellion was against YHVH for he believed that YHVH
killed his forefathers in the flood. Therefore, Nimrod refused adherence to, and opposed by force,
God’s righteous governing authority. So defiant of God was Nimrod that he built the city Babel and the
great Tower of Babel. From this we see the pattern of secular humanism and the resulting tyranny of a
dictatorial government.

Josephus, the Jewish historian, wrote that the Tower of Babel was in the days of Nimrod. “He
(Nimrod) also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men
from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power. He also said he
would be revenged on God, if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would
build a tower too high for the waters to be able to reach and that he would avenge himself on God
for destroying their forefathers!” by flood.
Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece
of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower, neither sparing any pains, nor being in any
degree negligent about the work: and, by reason of the multitude of hands employed in it, it grew
very high, sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it was so great, and it was so
strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view, to be less than it really was. It
was built of burnt brick, cemented together with mortar, made of bitumen, that it might not be liable
to admit water. When God saw that they acted so madly, he did not resolve to destroy them utterly,
since they were not grown wiser by the destruction of the former sinners; but he caused a tumult
among them, by producing in them diverse languages, and causing that, through the multitude of
those languages, they should not be able to understand one another. The place wherein they built
the tower is now called Babylon, because of the confusion of that language which they readily
understood before; for the Hebrews mean by the word Babel, confusion …”
– Josephus, Antiquities of The Jews, Chapter 4 (Concerning the Tower of Babylon, and the
confusion of Tongues)
Gibborim does not necessarily define a Nephilim. Gibborim accurately describes Nimrod, since he
was a “potentate and tyrant,” Nimrod was not really a giant. He probably was an atheist who believed
that God is nothing but another being who lived in the sky. Sky in the ancient understanding was a
canopy over the earth. Hence Nimrod decideed to reach the sky by building a tall tower and then
killing God and his army of angels. Just as he was able to defeat other kings, he thought he could
defeat and kill God also and take over the skies.

This face supposedly represents Huwawa who, according to the
Gilgamesh's Epic, sent the Flood on the Earth. According to the
story, Huwawa (Humbaba in the Assyrian version) was killed by
Gilgamesh and his half man, half beast friend, Enkidu. Huwawa is
the ancient pagan perspective of Yahweh (YHWH), the God of the
Bible. About 3 in (7.5 cm), this mask is dated to around the sixth
century BC. Of an unknown provenance, it is now in the British

The Gilgamesh Epic describes the first “God is dead”. In the Epic, the hero is a vile, filthy,
perverted person, yet he is presented as the greatest, strongest, hero that ever lived (Alexander
Heidel, 1963: 18). So that the one who sent the Flood will not trouble them anymore, Gilgamesh

sets out to kill the perpetrator. He takes with him a friend who is a monstrous half-man,
half-animal-Enkidu. Together they go on a long journey to the Cedar Mountain
with his tall
Tower that reach all the way to the dome of the sky to find and destroy the monster who sent the
Flood. Gilgamesh finds him and finally succeeds in cutting off the head of this creature whose
name is “Huwawa” (“Humbaba” in the Assyrian version; see Heidel 1963: 34ff).
The Tower of Babel was his attempt to reach Huwawaa YHVH to kill him
Is there a connection with the Gilgamesh epic and Genesis 10? Note what Gilgamesh says to
Enkidu the half man, half beast, who accompanied him on his journey, found in Tablet III, lines
147-150.
Because of the parallels between Gilgamesh and Nimrod, many scholars agree that Gilgamesh is
Nimrod. Continuing with Gilgamesh's fable, he did win, he did vanquish Huwawa and took his
head. Therefore, he could come back to Uruk and other cities and tell the people not to worry
about YHWH anymore, he is dead. “I killed him, I will be your king and take care of you.”
The Gilgamesh Epic 11 th Tablet
The Babylonian Flood Story is told on the 11th tablet of the
Gilgamesh Epic, almost 200 lines of poetry on 12 clay tablets
inscribed in cuneiform script. A number of different versions of
the Gilgamesh Epic have been found around the ancient Near
East, most dating to the seventh century BC. The most
complete version came from the library of Ashurbanipal at
Nineveh. Commentators agree that the story comes from a
much earlier period, not too long after the Flood as described in
the story.
Two commentators on the Bible in Hebrew has this to say about Genesis 10:9,
"Nimrod was mighty in hunting, and that in opposition to YHVH; not "before YHVH" in the sense of
according to the will and purpose of YHVH, still less, . . . in a simply superlative sense . . . The
name itself, "Nimrod" from marad, "we will revolt," points to some violent resistance to God . . .
51

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
Nimrod as a mighty hunter founded a powerful kingdom; and the founding of this kingdom is
shown by the verb with vav consecutive, to have been the consequence or result of his strength in
hunting, so that hunting was intimately connected with the establishing of the kingdom. Hence, if
the expression "a mighty hunter" relates primarily to hunting in the literal sense, we must add to
the literal meaning the figurative signification of a "hunter of men" (a trapper of men by stratagem
and force); Nimrod the hunter became a tyrant, a powerful hunter of men (Keil and Delitzsch 1975:
165).
"in the face of YHVH can only mean "in defiance of YHVH," as Josephus and the Targums
understand it
And the proverb must have arisen when other daring and rebellious men followed in Nimrod's
footsteps and must have originated with those who saw in such conduct an act of rebellion against
the God of salvation, in other words, with the possessors of the divine promise of grace .
Is Nimrod the Anti-Christ?
Over the years, biblical scholar Gary Stearman has written extensively about Nimrod
(Apollo/Osiris/Gilgamesh) and the connection this historical figure has with Babylonian Mystery
Religion, Watchers, Nephilim (including their resurrection), and the spirit of the end-times
Antichrist and revival of paganism. He too appears to believe the coming of Antichrist represents a
return of Nimrod. "But who is this Assyrian," he asked in the July 2001 Prophecy in the News
Magazine, "He is none other than the spiritual inheritor of the first great post-Flood religious
apostasy. He is the keeper of the great heritage that began at the Assyrian capital, Nineveh. Its
founder was Nimrod…. He is the Antichrist, the future despot who comes in the name of the
ancient mystery religion."

CHAPTER EIGHT
THE AMORITES
In fact, as a son of Canaan, Amorreus who as the father of the Amorite giants, would have been a
direct, contemporary cousin to Nimrod. Nimrod's other cousin, Caphtorim is the father of a group of
people we later discover had giants within their midst, namely Goliath and his brothers who were "the
sons of a giant in Gath." Thus it is certain that Canaan carried the genes of the giants over the period
of flood into the history of the new beginning of humanity
Many Giants and Giant tribes appear in the Bible. The problem is that these giants are inter-related
that any attempt to classify and ennunciate their history will be of no use.
These were different clans within the Giant Tribe, They were inter-related and probably all started from
Canaan. It is not possible to categorize them in isolated groups because Bible often calls them by
several names. The giant sons of Anak were among the Amorites at Hebron (Numbers 13:22)
called for a time as Kiriath Arba (Joshua 14:15; Joshua 15:13-14 from their giant father) "Debir, Ahab,
and the mountains of Judah and Israel Joshua 11:21. The valley of Rephaim" (2 Samuel 5:18),
southwest of Jerusalem, connects this giant race with the Amorites, as does the fact that Og, king
of the Amorites in Bashan, was "of the remnant of the Rephaim" (Deuteronomy 3:11; Joshua 12:4;
Joshua 13:19). The Anakim were sons of Anak, who was a son of Arba, who was a (distant?)
son of Amorreus, who was a son of Canaan, who generated Amorites,

The Zamzummim were a race of giants, who are mentioned only once in the Bible, namely in
Deuteronomy 2:20, where we learn that the Ammonites used to call them that, but to the Hebrews
these guys were known as the Rephaim. These Zamzummim were a people as great, numerous and
tall as the Anakim, but YHWH destroyed them so that the Ammonites could move into their territory.
They inhabited the region East of the Jordan which was
occupied by the Ammonites later who
displaced them. They are identified with the Rephaim (Deuteronomy 2:20). They may be the same

The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had
destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his
possession, which the LORD gave unto them. - Deuteronomy 2:12 (KJV)
The name Arba means "four" in Hebrew. The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia states:
ar'-ba ('arba`, "four"): Variously described as "the greatest man among the Anakim" (Joshua 14:15),
"the father of Anak" (Joshua 15:13), "the father of Anak" (Joshua 21:11 margin). Thus he seems to
have been regarded as the ancestor of the Anakim, and as the most famous hero of that race. He
was the reputed founder of the city called after him, on the site of which Hebron was built (Joshua
21:11).
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible gives us more insight:
And the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba - That is, the city of Arba, or rather, the city of the
four, - kiryath arba. Joshua 15:14, says that Caleb drove from Hebron the three sons of Anak,
Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. These may be three of the Arba - four giants who were in Hebron and
who were probably rulers of the montain tribee. Joshua 15:13 says that Arba was the father of Anak.

The Amorite name means literally "the high one" and may refer to one (or more) of three possibilities:
the mountainous terrain of the land they occupied (Num. 13:29; Deut. 1:7,19-20);
their fearsome military prowess (Deut. 1:44); or
their great stature (Num. 13:33).
Here we see how the Giant genes escaped and entered into the post-deluge world.
somehow had the genes in him.

While the Amorites are mentioned in the same contexts as other giants a few times, they are
specifically described as giants in the Minor Prophets.
“Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars,
and he was as strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath. Also it was I
who brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess
the land of the Amorite” (Amos 2:9–10).
The idea that the Amorites were giants is supported by the report of the spies whom Moses sent
through the land of Canaan. The Amorites were one of the people groups they saw (Numbers 13:29),
and they claimed that “all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature” (Numbers 13:32). It
is telling that in their response, Joshua and Caleb did not challenge the size of the land’s inhabitants
(Numbers 14:6–9).
The term Amorites is used in the Bible to refer to certain highland mountaineers who inhabited the land
of Canaan, described in Genesis 10:16 as descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham. They are
described as a powerful people of great stature "like the height of
the cedars" (Amos 2:9) who had occupied the land east and west
of the Jordan. The height and strength mentioned in Amos 2:9 has
led some Christian scholars, including Orville J. Nave, who wrote
the classic Nave's Topical Bible, to refer to the Amorites as
"giants".
Hammurabi was an Amorite First Dynasty king of the city-state of

known for having issued the Code of Hammurabi, which he claimed to have received from Shamash,
the Babylonian god of justice. Unlike earlier Sumerian law codes, such as the Code of Ur-Nammu,
which had focused on compensating the victim of the crime, the Law of Hammurabi was one of the first
law codes to place greater emphasis on the physical punishment of the perpetrator. It proscribed
specific penalties for each crime and is among the first codes to establish the presumption of
innocence. Although its penalties are extremely harsh by modern standards, they were intended to
limit what a wronged person was permitted to do in retribution. The Code of Hammurabi and the Law
of Moses in the Torah contain numerous similarities, but these are probably due to shared background
and oral tradition, and is unlikely that Hammurabi's laws exerted any direct impact on the later Mosaic
ones.
Regarding the Amorites, they appear quite a number of times in the Scriptures. One of the first
Amorites we meet by name is found as early as Genesis 13.
Mamre is a very interesting character in the Bible. In Genesis 14:13, we learn that he has two other
brothers, Eshcol and Aner. These three were Abram's allies in the land of the Canaanites. According
to J.B. Jackson's, "A Dictionary of Scripture Proper Names" their names mean:
Mamre, Eshcol and Aner were three early descendants of Canaan's son Amorreus, from whom
came all of the Amorites derived. The Amorite king, Og, was described as the last "of the remnant of
the Rephaim" (Deuteronomy 3:11). The terms Amorite and Canaanite seem to be used more or less
interchangeably, Canaan being more general and Amorite a specific component among the
Canaanites who inhabited the land.
The Biblical Amorites seem to have originally occupied the region stretching from the heights west of
the Dead Sea (Gen. 14:7) to Hebron (13:8; Deut. 3:8; 4:46–48), embracing "all Gilead and all Bashan"
(Deut. 3:10), with the Jordan valley on the east of the river (4:49), the land of the "two kings of the
Amorites".
Sihon and Og (Deut. 31:4; Joshua 2:10; 9:10). Both Sihon and Og were independent kings. The
Amorites seem to have been linked to the Jerusalem region, and the Jebusites may have been a
subgroup of them (Ezek. 16:3). The southern slopes of the mountains of Judea are called the "mount
of the Amorites" (Deut. 1:7, 19, 20).

Five kings of the Amorites were first defeated with great slaughter by Joshua (Josh. 10:5). Then, more
Amorite kings were defeated at the waters of Merom by Joshua (Josh. 11:8). It is mentioned that in the
days of Samuel, there was peace between them and the Israelites (1 Sam. 7:14). The Gibeonites were
said to be their descendants, being an offshoot of the Amorites who made a covenant with the
Hebrews. When Saul later broke that vow and killed some of the Gibeonites, God sent a famine to
Israel.
By the time of Samuel's judgeship, "there was peace between Israel and the Amorites" (1 Sam. 7:14).
Less than a century later, Solomon forced menial servitude upon the last few survivors (1 Kgs.
9:20-21). The Amorites are last mentioned by the prophet Amos (2:10), apparently either having died
out as a race or absorbed into Israel. All that is left is but a memory of their great sin (cf. 1 Kgs. 21:26;
2 Kgs. 21:11).
The historian Marc Van de Mieroop writes:The Amorites were semi-nomadic groups from northern
Syria, whom Babylonian literature described in extremely negative terms:
The Amorite, he is dressed in sheep’s skins; He lives in tents in wind and rain; He doesn’t offer
sacrifices. Armed vagabond in the steppe, He digs up truffles and is restless. He eats raw meat, Lives
his life without a home, And, when he dies, he is not buried according to proper rituals .
WereTerah & Abraham Amorites?
https://www.ancient.eu/amorite/
The historian Kriwaczek writes:Terah’s family were not Sumerian. They have long been
identified with the very people, the Amurru or Amorites. The Amorites of the Bible are depicted
as pre-Israelite inhabitants of the land of Canaan and clearly separate from the Israelites. In the Book
of Deuteronomy they are described as the last remnants of the giants who once lived on earth (3:11).
In the Book of Joshua they are the enemies of the Israelites who are destroyed by General Joshua
(10:10, 11:8).

If modern-day scholarship is accurate about the patriarchs of Israel descending from the Amorites,
then there must have been some reason why the Hebrew scribes went to so much trouble to separate
their own identity from that of the Amorites.
It is thought that Terah, in taking his family from Sumer, retained the tribe’s original ethnic identity and
brought that cultural heritage with him to Canaan where Abraham, then Isaac, and then Jacob would
establish that culture as `the children of Israel’ (Jacob’s name).
The Book of Genesis tells the story of Joseph, Jacob’s youngest son, and his sojourn in Egypt and rise
to power there, and the Book of Exodus relates how the Hebrews were later enslaved by the Egyptians
and were led from captivity to freedom back in Canaan by Moses. These biblical narratives would
have served to separate the Israelites' national identity from their actual ancestors by creating
new histories that highlighted their uniqueness among the people of the world.
In Cappadocian Zircirli inscriptions he is called Hi Abi-a, 'the god of my father'. .Accordingly, it has
been suggested by L. R. Bailey (1968) and Jean Ouelette (1969), that this Bel Sade might be the
same as the Biblical El Saddai who is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the "Priestly source" of
narrative, according to the documentary hypothesis. It is possible that Saddai means 'He of the
mountains'.
Historically, these Amorites seem to have been linked to the Jerusalem region, and the Jebusites
(which means People of the Mountains) may have been a subgroup of them. The southern slopes of
the mountains of Judea are called the "mount of the Amorites" (Deut. 1:7, 19, 20). One possible
etymology for "Mount Moriah" is "Mountain of the Amorites,"
The way of Amorites
To the apocryphal writers of the first and second pre-Christian century the Amorites are the main
representatives of heathen superstition, loathed as idolaters, in whose ordinances Israelites may not
walk (Lev. xviii. 3). A special section of the Talmud (Tosef., Shab. vi.-vii. [vii.-viii.]; Bab. Shab. 67a et
seq.) is devoted to the various superstitions called "The Ways of the Amorites."

Amorite-Canaanite-Phoenician-Aramean-Hebrew all came from a common
Semitic stock. Since the Egyptian tomb paintings show them with blue eyes,
we certainly have a genetic affinity to the blue eyes . We can definitely see a
confusion between two different Semitic words, found in the Old Testament
texts:
The Hebrew words
amoree = Amorite,
aramee = Aramean, from aram,
Ezekiel 16.3 seems to acknowledge Israel’s Canaanite origins:: "Thus says the Lord
Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were in the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite,
and your mother a Hittite.
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia:
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/1422-amorites
The descendants of the fourth son of Canaan (Gen. x. 16, I Chron. i. 14), they form part of the ancient
inhabitants of Palestine (Gen. xv. 21; Ex. iii. 8, 17, xxiii. 23; Joshua, iii. 10, xxiv. 11; I Kings, ix. 20;
Ezek. xvi. 3, 45; also Isa. xvii. 9, where we ought probably to follow the Septuagint reading, "the
forsaken places of the Amorites and the Hivites").
As representatives of the whole pre-Israelitish population, they are mentioned in Gen. xv. 16, xlviii. 22;
Joshua, v. 1, xxiv. 15, 18; Judges, x. 11; I Sam. vii. 14; I Kings, xxi. 26; II Kings, xxi. 11; Amos, ii. 9, etc.
Joshua, x. 5, mentions five kings of the Amorites; namely, in Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish,
and Eglon, as "all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country"; compare ver. 12. According
to II Sam. xxi. 2, Gibeon also was Amoritish (Joshua, xi. 19: Hivitish).
According to the Book of Jubilees (xxix. 11), "the former terrible giants, the Rephaim, gave way to the
Amorites, an evil and sinful people whose wickedness surpasses that of any other, and whose life will
be cut short on earth." In the Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch they are symbolized by "black water" on

account of "their black art, their witchcraft and impure mysteries, by which they contaminated Israel in
the time of the Judges." This refers to the strange story of Kenaz, preserved in the "Chronicle of
Jerahmeel" (Cohn in "Jew. Quart. Rev." 1898, pp. 294 et seq., and translation of Gaster, p. 166),
which relates how the tribes of Israel learned all their wickedness from the Amorites, the masters of
witchcraft, whose books they kept hidden under Mount Abarim, and whose wonder-working
idols—seven holy nymphs—they had concealed beneath Mount Shechem. Each of these idols was
adorned with precious stones, which shone at night like the light of day, and by their power sight was
restored to the blind. Kenaz, the son of Caleb and father of Othniel, when hearing of this, forthwith
destroyed the idolatrous Israelites by fire, but tried in vain to destroy either the magic-books or
thestones. So he buried the books, but in the morning found them transformed into twelve precious
stones, with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel engraved thereon, and later they were used in
Solomon's Temple. Then, with the help of the angel Gabriel, he smote the Amorites with blindness and
destroyed them with his sword.
Indo-European hypothesis
The view that Amorites were fierce, tall nomads led to an anachronistic theory among some racialist
writers in the 19th century that they were a tribe of "Aryan" warriors who at one point dominated the
Israelites. Then, the evidence fitted then-current models of Indo-European migrations. The theory
originated with Felix von Luschan, who later abandoned it.
Houston Stewart Chamberlain claimed that King David and Jesus were both Aryans of Amorite
extraction. The argument was repeated by the Nazi ideologue Alfred Rosenberg.
In reality, however, the Amorites certainly spoke exclusively a Semitic language, followed Semitic
religions of the Near East and had distinctly Semitic personal names. Their origins were believed to
have been the lands immediately to the west of Mesopotamia, in the Levant (modern Syria), and so
they are regarded as one of the Semitic peoples.

Rephaim , a race of giants (Deu 3:11) sons of Rapha who lived on the east of Jordan. Anakim, Zuzim,
and Emim were all branches of this stock. (Sam2 21:16, Sam2 21:18, Sam2 21:20, 33, " Ch1 20:5,

2:18; Pro 9:18; Pro 21:16, Isa 26:14. with connections to the Hades or Dead Spirits
Apart from the mention of Nephilims there were other groups of giants mentioned in the Bible. It is
not mentioned how they came into existence. One of the earliest mentions of the list of giants in
Scripture is found in Genesis 14.
Gen 14:5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and
smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh
Kiriathaim,
Gen 14:6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
Gen 14:7 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of
the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
Genesis 14 does not reveal that the Rephaim, Zuzim, Emim, or Amorites were giants, but this
information can be found in other places.
Deuteronomy 2:10-10:11 "The Emites used to live there—a people strong and numerous, and as tall
as the Anakites. Like the Anakites, they too were considered Rephaites, but the Moabites called them
Emites. Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the
Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did in the land the Lord gave them as
their possession….

That too was considered a land of the Rephaites, who used to live there; but the Ammonites called
them Zamzummites. They were a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites. The Lord
destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place. The Lord
had done the same for the descendants of Esau, who lived in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites
from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day."
Thus we may assume that Anakites, Emites, Ammonites, Zamzummites were all one group of
giants that are same as Repahite
Repheim were a race of aboriginal or early inhabitants East of the Jordan in Ashterothkarnaim
(Genesis 14:5) and in the valley of Rephaim Southwest of Jerusalem (Joshua 15:8). They are
associated with other giant races, as the Emim and Anakim (Deuteronomy 2:10, 11) and the
Zamzummim (Deuteronomy 2:20). It is probable that they were all of the same stock, being given
different names by the different tribes who came in contact with them. REPHAIM is used to
comprehend all the gigantic races of the Canaanites, of whom there were several families.
The Hebrew word Rephaim is used in two distinct significations. One referring to the giants and the
other referrs to those who are in Sheol. We will not deal with the second meaning here. We are
only talking about giant group known as Rephaim.

In David's time, they were in the city of Gath, 1 Chronicles 20:4-6.
The giant Goliath and others were the remains of the Rephaim, or of the kindred family of Anakim.
Their magnitude and strength are often spoken of in Scripture. They appear to have excelled in
violence and crime, and hence are monuments of divine justice.

This was a fertile vale (Isaiah 17:5), to the Southwest of Jerusalem (Joshua 15:8; Joshua 18:16; the

repeatedly defeated the invading Philistines (2 Samuel 5:18, 22; 2 Samuel 23:13 1 Chronicles 11:15; 1

It was a

south-west from Jerusalem, when it contracted to a narrow passage leading off towards the
Mediterranean.
When the Israelites first approached the Promised Land after the Exodus from Egypt, they were afraid
to enter the land because it was filled with “giants” , the sons of Anak. Giants were also widely
scattered through Canaan, but were known by different local names, including Rephaim, Zuzim, Emim,
and Anakim. Deuteronomy 2:20–21 says the Rephaim were strong and tall, like the Anakites.
We know nothing of their origin.
They are referred to in the following verses.

Isaiah 17:5 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one

Isaiah 26:14 Dead -- they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea,
thou destroyest all their memory.
Isaiah 26:19 Thy dead live -- My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs 'is' thy
dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.
2.REPHAIM, has a totally different meaning in other references where it is also called the shades or spirits of the departed,
dwelling in Sheol or Hades.
Psalms 88:10 To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? Selah. Proverbs 2:18 For her
house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths.
Proverbs 9:18 And he hath not known that Rephaim 'are' there, In deep places of Sheol her invited ones!
According to Genesis 14:5, King Chedorlaomer and his allies attacked and defeated the Rephaites at
Ashteroth-Karnaim.
In the biblical narrative, the Israelites were instructed to exterminate the previous inhabitants of the
"promised land", i.e. Canaan, which include various named peoples, including some unusually
tall/large individuals. Several passages in the Book of Joshua, and also Deuteronomy 3:11, suggest
that Og, the King of Bashan, was one of the last survivors of the Rephaim, and that his bed was 9
cubits long in ordinary cubits. (An ordinary cubit is the length of a man's forearm according to the New
American Standard Bible, or approximately 18 inches, which differs from a royal cubit. This makes the
bed over 13 feet long, even longer if the cubit was based on a giant's forearm). Anak, according to
2:11, was a Rephaite.

• Were destroyed and replaced by the Caphtorites (ancestors of the Philistines who arrived from the
island of Cypress/Caphtor)
An entire race of giants mentioned in the Bible
6. NEPHILIM
• Race of “renown heros” resulting from the sexual mixing of angels (sons of God) with human women
(Gen 6:2)
• “Heros” in Gen 6:2 were not necessarily good people
• Nephilim were “heros” in the same sense that Goliath was called a “hero” of the Philistines (1 Sam
17:51)
• This resulted in offspring of exceptional size and strength (Num 13:33)
• This giant race aggravated the exceptional wickedness of men living before the flood and was a
factor in God’s decision to “wipe mankind from the face of the earth” by a flood (Gen 6:5-7)
• Angels continued siring Nephilim with human women even after the flood (Gen 6:4) which explains
why descendants of the Nephilim resided in Canaan when Israel invaded under Joshua (Num 13:33
69

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)

• These Philistine cities with Anakite residents were located on the coastal plain below the hill country
of Judah (Josh 11:22)
Anakite giants of southern Canaan lived in “large cities that have walls up to the sky” (Deut 9:2)
• This most likely referred to the Anakite cities of Hebron, Debir, and Anab
• May or may not have referred to the Philistine cities of Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod

The main Anakite centers were the cities of Hebron (formerly Kiriath-Arba), Debir (formerly
Kiriath-Sepher), and Anab in the hill country of Judah (Josh 11:21) Some Anakites also lived in the
coastal plain region with the Philistines in the cities of Gaza, Gath and Ashdod (Josh 11:22)

Edom
Avvites lived in the coast land of southern Canaan in villages near Gaza (Deut 2:23)
The place where a coalition of eastern kings led by Chedorloamer, king of Elam (in the region of Persia)
defeated the combined armies of several giant clans was named Shaveh-Kiriathaim (Wasteland of
Kiriathaim). This place is a valley located in the high plain above the Arnon River east of the Dead Sea
in the region of Moab (Gen 14:5)
HOW THE CLANS OF GIANT WERE RELATED
REPHAITES or REPHAIM
• Initially referred to descendants of an individual giant named Rapha, and then became general term
for several giant clans living in the region of Canaan
• Rephaites were Nephilim because the Anakites (a clan of Rephaites) are identified as Nephilim (Num
13:33)
• Rephaite clans included the Anakim, the Emim, the Zamzummim, the Horites, and the Avvites
• Were in the region of Canaan during Abraham’s day (Gen 15:20)
• Several Rephaite clans were defeated by King Chedorlaomer in Abraham’s day (Gen 14:5-6)
• Og, King of Bashan, is identified as the last individual “remnant of the Rephaites” (Deut 3:11). But
since other giants after Og are also referred to as Rephaites, this reference most likely means that Og
was the last pure blooded (100%) giant sired by an angel mixing with a human woman Giant killers
named in the Bible:
Arba was the “forefather of Anak,” the patriarch of the Anakim clan (Josh 15:13; 21:11)
Anakim were descended from the Nephilim (Num 13:33)
Rapha was the early ancestor of all the giant clans living throughout the region of what became
Palestine. Giant clans descended from Rapha were referred to as Rephaites and included the
74

PROF. M. M. NINAN
Anakites, the Emites, the Zamzummites, the Horites, and the Avvites (Gen 14:5-6; Deut
2:10-12,23; 2 Sam 21:16,18,20,22; 1 Chron 20:4,6,8)
Since the Anakites were giants descended both from Rapha (Deut 2:10-11) and the Nephilim (Num
13:33),
that means all Rephaites (descendants of Rapha) were descended from the Nephilim.
The Nephilim were the original giants (Gen 6:4)
KEY STORIES INVOLVING GIANTS
A race of giants called Nephilim begin with Sons of God mixing with women -Daughters of Man not
only before but also after the flood (Gen 6:1-4)
Chedorlaomer, king of Elam (region of Persia), forms a coalition of kings who invade the region of
Canaan and defeated several clans of giant people descended from the Nephilim during the day of
Abraham (Gen 14:5-6)

Humanoid species of truly immense proportions still walk remote regions of the Earth today, just as
they have for many thousands of years. This reality is readily dismissed by Westerners, yet remains
common knowledge in many regions of the world where the largest populations of giants are most
active.
While the only publicly available photographs of living giants document the North American sasquatch,
other giant humanoid species that more closely resemble Caucasian humans also inhabit
subterranean cavern systems, hidden away from human populations. Spanish chroniclers of the 'New

World' conquest reported light-haired, light-skinned giants occupying various lands. Giant kings that
once ruled throughout present-day Peru wore massive tunics woven from fine gold and silver thread
no Earth human can don:The actual mummified head of the crowned king... is almost twice as large as
my own and I wear the largest hat of anyone in my acquaintance... The gold was impressive, but the
size of the man was something more impressive than gold.
The golden tunic that hung on the wall was made of spun gold. This was the first time in my life I had
seen gold woven into a fabric for clothing. The tunic was over eight feet tall and tailored in such a way
as to suggest that it was not intended to drag on the floor behind a king, but rather to hang straight
down to the floor and no further. That made the tunic itself a measuring device for the original height of
the giant king. It was shocking to imagine... the shear weight of the garment.

bone and skin, and this process was carefully documented via photos and video. The
samples were sent to the late Lloyd Pye, founder of the Starchild Project, who delivered
the samples to a geneticist in Texas for DNA testing... Brien Foerster... has revealed the
preliminary results of the analysis...:
It had mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) with mutations unknown in any human,
primate, or animal known so far. But a few fragments I was able to
sequence from this sample indicate that if these mutations will hold we are
dealing with a new human-like creature, very distant from Homo
sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans.
Many sasquatch hybrids have been shown to have human female mtDNA profiles with multiple SNPs,
yet the nuDNA results confirmed they are hybrids.
Comprehensive analysis of giant skeletal remains from a multitude of ancient sites, based on height
and physiognomy, points directly to the hypothesis that the Paracas giants are artificially engineered
interspecies hybrids closely mirroring the complex global dynamics of the sasquatch case. Human
female surrogate mothers from all continents were artificially impregnated with nephilim semen,
belonging to 11-14'-tall giants such as a Mexican specimen with extreme vertical elongation. The
7-9'-tall nephilim hybrid species is exemplified by a giant infant mummy excavated near Andahuaylillas,
Peru (below).

This combination of highly unusual features is also seen in 11' tall giants from cave sites in Mexico and

In the Congo of Central Africa, the Mangbetu people appear to have preserved nephilim genes in
greater proportion than most haplogroups, along with intact cultural traditions of head-binding,
inherited from the giants and practiced well into the 1950s,
Traditional wood totem carvings from indigenous cultures of the Solomon Islands and Papua New
Guinea closely resemble the giant Moai basalt figures of Rapa Nui, yet provide greater detail of the
giant species' unusual facial characteristics, that include vertical cranial elongation, with very long
nasal structures and the distinctive appearance of puffy eyes that matches the well known effects of
head-shaping techniques.
The very same type of head-shaping was common in the Near East from ~9,000-7,000bp, most
notably seen among members of the Ubaid culture excavated at sites in present-day Syria, the
remnants of which are now being destroyed by armed conflict throughout the region. The

hybrids ranging in size from 7-9' in height.
Giant stone handaxes were recently recovered from Africa's Kalahari Desert, preserved in the dry
basin of Lake Makgadikgadi for thousands of years
Other documented examples of giant axes that no human beings can wield includes a massive solid
copper axehead from the Hopewell cultural site of Seip Mound, Ohio, excavated with giant skeletons
subsequently confiscated by the Smithsonian Institute:
It was made of solid copper and weighed 17.7kg, 39 pounds. The object was 61cm long,
10cm wide and varied from 2 to 4.5cm in thickness. It was the largest copper artifact ever
recorded... It is too heavy for a man to handle efficiently and when hafted... remains
non-functional.
Impressive examples were collected at Swan Lake, in present-day Manitoba, Canada, and in the UK,
where archeological excavations in Cuxton, Kent and Sheringham, Norfolk have also turned up giant
stone axeheads. The most impressive example is a refined biface blade likely produced by the Olmec
culture of present-day Mexico, showing the fine work of human hands, yet made for the giants (below).

When questioned by Spanish chroniclers during the conquest, Aztec Elders stated the original builders
of the Teotihuacan complex were light-skinned giants, whom they identified as cannibals who ate raw
human flesh, having driven the Nahuatl peoples out of their territories before being exterminated in
later times.
The presence and social influence of nephilim genes in human populations is being actively hidden by

Mastodonic remains are occasionally unearthed and from time to time; discoveries of the remains of
Indian settlements. Among the ruins are gigantic skeletons with high cheek bones, powerful jaws and
massive frames peculiar to the Red man.

Now and Long Ago: A History of the Marion County Ohio Area
Satterfield, a justice of the peace, said that three giant skeletons were found at the mouth of the Paw
Paw Creek. Jim Dean and others found the bones while digging a bridge foundation. She said it was
Dr. Kidwell, of Fairmont, who examined them and said they were very old, perhaps thousands of years
old. She said that when the skeletons were exposed to the weather for a few days, their bones turned
black and began to crumble. All these skeletons, she said, were measured and found to be about eight
Giant creatures that existed on earth
What is indeed significant is that many giant versions of other creatures existed in the past or still exist
today. To name just a few, these include the following:
1. spiders (e.g., the bird-eating spider, up to 12-inch legspan)
2. moths (e.g., the Atlas moth, with a wing span of 11 inches)
3. centipedes (up to 13 inches long)
4. snails (e.g., the African giant snail, up to 15½inches long)
5. frogs (e.g. Beelzebufo,16 inches high)
6. dragonflies (e.g., Meganeura,with a wing span of more than 2½feet)
7. rats (e.g., Josephoartigasia,with a conservatively estimated body mass of 750 pounds)
8. beavers (e.g., Trogontherium,about 7½feet long)
9. scorpions (e.g., the sea scorpion Jaekelopterus,estimated at more than 8 feet long)
10. crabs (e.g., the giant spider crab, with a claw span more than 12 feet)
11. armadillos (e.g., Glyptodon,up to 13 feet long)
12. turtles (e.g., Archelon,up to 16 feet long)
13. fish (e.g., Xiphactinus,19 feet long)
14.. sloths (e.g., Megatherium,which stood about 20 feet)
15. worms (e.g., the giant earthworm, up to 22 feet long)
16. sea cows (e.g., Hydrodamalis,25 feet or more in length)
17. crocodiles (e.g., Sarcosuchus,up to 40 feet long)
18.. snakes (e.g., Titanoboa,over 42 feet long)
19. crustaceans (e.g., supergiant amphipods 10 times larger than those previously discovered)

The fact that scientists have discovered animals with body sizes far greater than those observed today

http://listverse.com/2008/05/20/top-10-amazing-true-life-giants/
From well before Biblical times, man has told amazing tales of giants. The likelihood of seeing a true
giant was so slim that they have always been a part of folklore. But,
thanks to modern record keeping and photography, we can now all see
first hand, true living giants. This is a list of the top 10,.
Bernard Coyne 8’2″
Coyne was born in 1897 in Iowa, USA. His 1918 World War I draft card
listed his height as 8 feet. His Guinness book of records entry states that
he was refused entry to the war due to his height. At the time of his death
it was possible that he had reached the height of 8 foot 4 inches. He died
in 1921 of hardening of the liver and a glandular condition. He is buried in
his place of birth in a specially made extra-large coffin.
Väinö Myllyrinne 8’3″
Myllyrinne was born in Finland in 1909. At one point he was
officially the world’s tallest man. At the age of 21 he was 7 feet
3.5 inches tall, and weighed 31 stone. He experienced another
growth spurt after that which took him to his final height of 8 feet
3 inches. He is considered to be the tallest soldier in history as
he was in the Finnish army. He died in 1963.
Edouard Beaupré 8’3″
Edouard Beaupré, born in
1881, was a circus sideshow
freak, a strong man, and a star
in Barnum and Baileys. He
was the eldest of 20 children and was born in Canada. While he was
of normal height during his first few years of life, by the age of nine
he was 6 feet tall. His death certificate showed him as being 8’3″
and still growing. As a strongman, his feature stunt was crouching
down and lifting a horse to his shoulders. He reportedly lifted horses
as heavy as 900 pounds. He died in 1904 of tuberculosis.

Ella Ewing 8’4″
GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
Ella Ewing was born in Missouri in 1872. She is known as the ‘Missouri
Giant’. She grew normally until the age of 7, at which time she began to
grow rapidly. Her maximum height is disputed and due to the lack of
records she is not listed in the Guinness book of Records. She toured
as a side-show freak until she died of tuberculosis in 1913.
Al Tomaini 8’4.5″
Al Tomaini was a giant who claimed a height of 8’4″ (though the
Guiness Book of Records stated that he was 7’4″). Weighing 356
pounds (162 kg) and wearing size 27 shoes, Al spent most of his life
as a circus giant. He was working with a circus at the Great Lakes
Exposition in Chicago, in 1936, when he met his future wife, Jeanie
Tomaini. Jeanie was born without legs and was only 2 ft 6 in (76 cm)
tall. After retiring from the circus life, he and Jeanie settled in the circus
community of Giant’s Camp, Gibsonton, Florida.
Leonid Stadnyk 8’5″
Leonid Stadnyk was born in 1971 in the Ukraine. He is a
registered veterinary surgeon and lives with his mother. He is
currently the world’s tallest human according to the Guinness
Book of Records. According to Pravda, his health is slowly
failing in that he needs to hold on to limbs of trees and the side
of his house to walk about. A group of Ukrainian business
people donated a satellite dish and a computer to Stadnyk and
now he has Internet access.

John F Carroll 8’7″
John Carroll (born in 1932) was born in Buffalo, New York and was
known as the Buffalo giant. Despite a large number of medical
treatments, he grew at a very rapid rate. He grew seven inches in a
matter of a few months. He died in 1969 and while his height was not
recorded at the time, it is believed that he was very close to nine feet.
John Rogan 8’9″
John Rogan was born in 1868 and he grew normally until the age
of 13. His height was not officially recorded until his death at
which point he was 8’9″ tall. Due to illness he weighed only 175
pounds. He is the tallest African American ever. He died in 1905
due to complications from his illness.
Johan Aason 8′ 9-1/4″
Johan was born in America the year that his mother moved there
from Norway. He beats John Rogan to the second spot on this list by
a mere 1/4 of an inch. Interestingly his mother was also a giant, at
7’2″. According to his death certificate from Mendocino State
Hospital, at the time of death he was 9’2″ – if this is true then he is
the tallest recorded human – beating our number 1 spot by 3 inches.
He is buried in Montana.

Robert Wadlow 8′ 11.1″
Robert Wadlow is the tallest man in history whose height is verified by
indisputable evidence. He is often referred to as the Alton giant
because he came from Alton, Illinois. At the time of his death he
weighed 440 pounds and showed no signs of stopping growing. He was
born in 1918, the oldest of five children. He died at the age of 22 from
an infection caused by a blister on his ankle, which he got while making
a professional appearance at the National Forest Festival. His coffin
weighed half a ton and required 12 pallbearers to carry. He was buried
in a vault of solid concrete as his family had fears that his body would
be interfered with by curiosity seekers.

Real Life Encounters
Brazilian Giants
William Turner, the naturalist and dean of Wells (d. 1568), mentions that on the coast of Brazil, near
the river Polata, he saw a tribe of very gigantic naked savages, one of whom he estimated to be twelve
feet tall.
While in Brazil, Knyvet several times saw an Indian who, though still a youth, towered to a height of
thirteen spans. Since thirteen spans equals nine feet, nine inches, this would have made the giant
about the same size as Goliath.
Chile's Giants
Reaveneau de Lussan reported contact with natives of Chile that were of enormous bulk and stature.
Frezier also relates that natives of the coast of Chile told him that some of the Indians living inland
stood nine feet high.
Captain George Shelvock, on his voyage in 1719 to the Island of Chiloe off the coast of Chile, saw
Indians which stood nine to ten feet high.
Cocopa Giants
Soon after Maldonado discovered the Seri giants, Captain Melchior Diaz came across another tribe of
huge Indians while searching farther up the coast for the ships carrying supplies for Coronado's 1540
expedition. Pedro de Castaneda reported that, “After going about 150 leagues, they came to a
province of exceedingly tall and strong men-like giants.” Evidently, these were the Cocopa, a Yuman
tribe who also inhabited the lower Rio Colorado, which the Indians called Rio del Tison.
MAGELLAN
Antonio Francesco Pigafetta, chronicler of Magellan's circumnavigation of the world:
“We had been two whole months in this harbor without sighting anyone when one day (quite without
warning) we saw on the shore a huge giant, who was naked, and who danced, leaped and sang, all
the while throwing sand and dust on his head. Our Captain ordered one of the crew to walk towards
him, telling this man also to dance, leap and sing as a sign of friendship. This he did, and led the giant
to a place by the shore where the Captain was waiting. And when the giant saw us, he marveled and
was afraid, and pointed to the sky, believing we came from heaven. He was so tall that even the
largest of us came only to midway between his waist and his shoulder; 621 yet with all he was well
proportioned. He had a large face, painted round with red; his eyes were ringed with yellow and in the
middle of his cheeks were painted two hearts. He had hardly any hair on his head, what little he had
being painted white....”

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
Rupert Gould said in his book Enigmas in 1945, included another quote about Magellan’s voyage and
added, This man was so tall that our heads scarcely came up to his waist, and his voice was like that
of a bull.
Many of the other natives in this region were also very tall; this would lead to the naming of those in the
region the "Patagonian Giants", Patagonian meaning "people of the long feet."
P. Joseph Tarrubia wrote in his Gianthologia, published in Madrid in 1761, that some utensils found in
South America were of such enormous size that they could only have been used by giants. He also
noted that several Spanish settlers told of having seen monstrous men, ranging from nine to ten feet in
height, when they sometimes strayed from their wild retreats verging toward the Straits of Magellan.
Tarrubia further related that: “…the South Americans had a body of soldiers, consisting of about four
hundred men, the shortest of whom was not shorter than nine feet and the tallest about eleven feet.”
Twenty giants off the coast of Venezuela. Amerigo, for whom approximately one-third of the world was
later named, recounted this experience: “Thus sailing along, we came upon an island [Curasao] which
was situated fifteen leagues from the mainland. At our arrival, since we saw no people and the island
looked favorable to us, we decided to explore it, and eleven of us landed. We discovered a trail and set
ourselves to walk on it two leagues and a half inland; we met with a village of twelve houses in which
we did not find anyone except seven women. They were of such great stature that there was not one
of them who was not taller than every one of us by a span and a half [about 19 inches]. When they saw
us they were very much afraid of us. The chief one of them, who was certainly a discreet woman, by
signs hauled us up to a house and made them give us refreshments. When we saw such noble women,
we determined to carry off two of them, who were young women fifteen years of age, and make a
present of them to the king. They were creatures whose stature was certainly above that of average
men. While we were thus plotting, thirty-six men arrived, who entered the house where we were
drinking, and they were of such lofty stature that each of them was taller when upon his knees than I
was when standing erect. They were of the stature of giants in their great size and in the proportion of
their bodies, which corresponded with their height.
When the men entered, some of our fellows were so frightened that at the moment they thought they
were done for. The warriors had bows and arrows and tremendous oar blades, finished off like swords.
When they saw our small stature, they began to converse with us to learn who we were and whence
we came. We gave them soft words for the sake of amity and replied to them in sign language that we
were men of peace and that we were out to see the world. In fact, we judged it wise to part from them
without controversy, and so we went by the same trail by which we had come. They stuck with us all
the way to the sea and until we embarked.

CHAPTER TWELVE
EVIDENCE FROM THE STRUCTURES
A
THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT
The Great Pyramid of Giza consists of circa 2.3 million stone blocks weighing around 2.5 tons each.
Some of the blocks weigh up to 50 tons. Yet despite the vast amount of blocks used, and the incredible
weights involved, the mathematical accuracy of the layout of the building is breathtaking. Other such
puzzling buildings scattered around the world pose the same questions.
95

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
Who built them? How did they acquire such mathematical and astronomical knowledge? And what
advanced technology did they use in the construction?
The people living at that time, though an incredibly advanced and sophisticated people did not have
the technology to shape hard stone with such accuracy.
For if man began at the stone age, progressed to the bronze and then to the iron age, then we have
the oldest pyramids popping up somewhere between the stone age and the bronze age. This is akin to
saying that at some point in time past, man invented the wheel. Sometime later, another made a cart.
But in between the wheel and the cart we find a brand new Mercedes! This is a realistic comparison
when considering the construction of the pyramids.
Manly P. Hall (probably recorded in the 1980s) and giantologist Kristan T. Harris put it out on a
Youtube video. It was originally part of a lecture titled Atlantis and the Gods of Antiquity .
“We are told that in the year 820 AD …way back in the days of the glory of Baghdad, the great sultan,
the follower and descendant of the great El-Rashid of Arabian Nights, the Sultan El-Rashid Al-Ma’mun,
decided to open the Great Pyramid. He had been told that it had been built by giants, who were called
the Sheddai, superhuman beings, and that within that pyramid and those pyramids, they had stored a
great treasure beyond the knowledge of man .”

The Giants of ‘Ad and Megalithic Construction in Egypt
The Akhbār al-zamān, also known as The Book of Wonders (ca.900 – 1100 AD), is an Arabian
compilation of medieval lore about Egypt and the world before the Great Flood. It claims that the
people of ’Ad were giants, so Shaddad was most likely one, and it is said he “ built the monuments of
Dahshur with the stones that had been carved in the time of his father .” Before this, the giant Harjit
had begun its construction. At a later date, Qofṭarīm, another giant, “ placed secrets in the pyramids of
Dahshur and other pyramids, to imitate what had been done of old. He founded the city of Dendera .”
Dashur consists of the Red Pyramid and Bent Pyramid constructed during the reign of Pharaoh
Sneferu (2613-2589 BC). Dendera consists of highly decorated pillars dedicated to the Goddess
Hathor

STONEHENGE
97

GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
The archaeologists used a variety of techniques, including radiocarbon dating on workers' campfires
from millennia ago, to discover that holes cut into rocky outcrops to gather the stones were made
centuries before Stonehenge was built.
Stonehenge 'was built in Wales and dragged to Wiltshire later'
The holes were dated to between 3,400 and 3,200 BC, but Stonehenge was only created in Wiltshire
around 2,900BC. Some of the biggest stones weigh 50 tons, but since the civilisation that built it left no
written records behind, we don't know for sure how they did it.
At the time of Stonehenge's creation, the wheel had not even been built - modern tests have shown it
is possible to move stones of similar size on rolling logs or sleighs, but the most archaeologists can do
is make an educated guess.
Alternatively, they could have a read Erich von Däniken's
seminal book Chariots of the Gods?, which makes the
argument that many ancient megastructures such as
Stonehenge, the Egyptian pyramids, and the Moai heads of
Easter Island were built using know-how passed down from
God-like aliens to mankind.
