Nephilim (“Giants”) in the Bible
The Bible reveals that there are many different clans that
either were giants or had giants among them that were ultimately
related in a line all the way back to the Nephilim of Genesis:
Nephilim (Gen. 6:1-4; Num. 13:33)
Anakim (Num. 13:28-33; Deut. 1:28; 2:10-11, 21; 9:2; Josh. 14:12)
Amorites (Amos 2:9-10)
Emim/Emites (Deut. 2:10-11)
Rephaim (or Raphaim) (Deut. 2:10-11, 20; 3:11)
Zamzummim (Deut. 2:20)
Zuzim (Gen. 14:5)
Perizzites (Gen. 15:20; Josh. 17:15)
Philistines (2 Sam. 21:18-22)
Horites/Horim (Deut. 2:21-22)
Avvim (Deut. 2:23)
Caphtorim (Deut. 2:23)
The following are implied as including giants by their connection to the descendants of Anak in Numbers 13:28-29:
Amalekites
Hittites
Jebusites — The word means “Those who trample”
Amorites (Amos 2:9-10 links the Amorites as giant in size and strength)
Hivites (has the same consonants (חִוִּי) as a Hebrew name for snake)
Here were the towns, cities or locations that were said to have had giants in them:
Gob (2 Sam. 21:18)
Hebron/Kiriath-arba (Num. 13:22; Josh. 14:15)
Ar (Deut. 2:9)
Seir (Deut. 2:21-22)
Debir/ Kiriath-sepher (Josh. 11:21-22)
Anab (Josh. 11:21-22)
Gaza (Josh. 11:21-22)
Gath (Josh. 11:21-22)
Ashdod (Josh. 11:21-22)
Bashan (Deut. 3:10-11)
Ashteroth-karnaim (Gen. 14:5)
Ham (Gen. 14:5)
Shaveh-kiriathaim (Gen. 14:5)
Valley of the Rephaim (Josh. 15:8)
Moab (1 Chron. 11:22)
Many significant individuals are described in the Bible implicitly or explicitly as giants being struck down in war against Israel:
Goliath (1 Sam. 17)
Lahmi, Goliath’s brother (1 Chron. 20:5; 2 Sam. 21:19)
[a “Gittite” is a person from Gath]
Ishbi-benob [“a descendant of Rapha;” i.e., one of the Raphaim] (2 Sam. 21:16)
Saph/Sippai (2 Sam. 21:17; 1 Chron. 20:4)
Arba (Josh. 14:15)
Sheshai (Josh.15:14, Num. 13:22)
Ahiman (Josh. 15:14, Num. 13:22)
Talmai (Josh. 15:14, Num. 13:22)
An unnamed warrior giant (1 Chron. 20:6)
An unnamed Egyptian giant (1 Chron. 11:23)
Og of Bashan (Deut. 3:10-11)
The ubiquitous presence of giants throughout the narrative of the Old Testament is no small matter. When God commanded the people of Israel to enter Canaan and devote certain of those peoples to complete destruction (Deut. 20:16-17), it is no coincidence that most of these peoples we have already seen were connected in some way to the Anakim giants, and Joshua’s campaign explicitly included the elimination of the Anakim/Sons of Anak giants. Could these giants that were from the lineage of the Nephilim (who were the offspring of the Sons of God) be the very Seed of the Serpent that would be at enmity with the promised messianic Seed of the Woman (Gen. 3:15)?

Noah Primeval has appendices that provide an explanation of Biblical concepts in the novel such as the Sons of God, Watchers, Nephilim, Giants, Leviathan, and fallen angels. If you enjoy “Bible-based fiction” (such as “Left Behind” and “The Chosen”) you will enjoy this series very much.

As you watch these videos, remember that the translators of these ancient manuscripts classed all “white hat” spirit beings as “angels” and all “black hat” spirit beings as “demons,” and modern scholars very rarely make any other distinction between the various classes of spirit beings. When Perry Stone says “gods” he is referring to the benéi Elohim who set themselves up as gods over the nations following the Babel Rebellion. When he is speaking about the “fallen angels” he is also referring to the benéi Elohim.

“giants” actually walked this earth at one time.
“The ‘American Anthropologist’ published an article in February 1896, of a large stone bearing the perfect imprint of a human foot 14.5 inches long. It was shown to members of the Ohio State Academy of Science in 1896. The stone slab had been dug from the ground in a hill four miles north of Parkersburg,[*] West Virginia, some 20 years earlier.”
