The people are strong and tall, the descendants of the Anakim. You know about them and you have heard it said about them, “Who can stand up to the sons of Anak? ”
Where can we go? Our brothers have made us lose heart, , saying: The people are larger and taller than we are; the cities are large, fortified to the heavens. We also saw the descendants of the Anakim there.”
We even saw the Nephilim there #– #the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim! To ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and we must have seemed the same to them.’
They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were living. Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
(Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed was made of iron. Isn’t it in Rabbah of the Ammonites? It is 4 metres long and 1.8 metres wide by a standard measure. )
The Nephilim were on the earth both in those days and afterwards, when the sons of God came to the daughters of mankind, who bore children to them. They were the powerful men of old, the famous men.
