The Zamummites and Giants

The sons of God, perhaps fallen angels, mated with women in Genesis 6. Giants resulted from this. God saw that all was defiled and evil except Noah and his family. The flood came to destroy the offspring of the angels called the Nephilim.  Apparently after the flood there were still Nephilim, giants in the land of Canaan. This is probably why God commanded that all be killed when Israel entered the land of Canaan. There were giants called the Emites, Anakites,Rephaites and the Zamummites.

 Deu 2:9  "The LORD said to me, 'Don't bother the Moabites. Don't start a war against them. I will not give you any of their land. They are the descendants of Lot, and I gave them the city of Ar.'" 

Deu 2:10  (In the past, the Emites lived in Ar. They were strong people, and there were many of them. They were very tall, like the Anakites. 

Deu 2:11  The Anakites were part of the Rephaites. People thought the Emites were also Rephaites, but the people of Moab called them Emites. 

Deu 2:12  The Horites also lived in Seir in the past. Then Esau's people destroyed the Horites, took their land, and settled there, just as the Israelites did to the people in the land that the LORD gave them.) 

Deu 2:19  You will be just across from the Ammonites. Don't bother them or fight with them, because I will not give you their land. They are descendants of Lot, and I have given that land to them.'" 

Deu 2:20  (That country is also known as the Land of Rephaim. The Rephaites lived there in the past. The people of Ammon called them the Zamzummites. 

Deu 2:21  There were many Rephaites, and they were very strong and tall like the Anakites. But the LORD helped the Ammonites destroy them. The Ammonites took that land and live there now.   

Forty Years earlier, the people of Israel refused to enter the promise land because they saw the Nephilim giants there.  

Num 13:33  We saw the giant Nephilim people there! (The descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim.) We felt like little grasshoppers. Yes, we were like grasshoppers to them!" 

They feared the giants more than they trusted God to give them the victory over them. Do you trust God more than the giant problem you might have?
