Type II. “Mighty Men”, Ordinary men in stature, “A Giant”
As previously stated, Nephilim do not mean ONLY “Giants” in stature, not only, but here we will examine the Nephilim in stature, yes Giants, as in height. again, we’ll look after the flood and see these giants and where they came from. and they all came from the same source, ordinary human men and women, in this case, post flood, Noah and his sons. We will start with one of the best know giants in the bible, Goliath, the Philistine of Gath.
Let's start with Noah sons. Genesis 9:18 & 19 "And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. 19 "These are the three sons of Noah:
and of them was the whole earth overspread”. Knowing this, the only people to exist on the entire planet, after the flood, came from these three sons of Noah. no giants came from any other unions but of human men and women, this is bible.
Now, Goliath, the Philistine of Gath.
1 Samuel 17:23 "And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the
champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them”. Here the scriptures say that Goliath was
a Philistine. And Goliath himself tells us that he is a Philistine. 1 Samuel 17:8 "And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array?
am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me”. We know without a doubt that Goliath of Gath is a Philistine.
Now the question comes, where did the Philistine come from? Answer, let’s look at the genealogy of Noah sons and trace back to Goliath of Gath who is a Philistine. Genesis 10:6 "And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan”.
One of Ham’s sons were Mizraim. Let’s look at Mizraim sons. Genesis 10:13 "And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 14 "And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim”. As we can see Mizraim had a son name Casluhim which out of him came a people called Philistim.
This is the same exact genealogy out of 1 Chronicles 1:12. Let’s compare them
1 Chronicles 1:12 "And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (of whom came the Philistines,) and Caphthorim”.
Genesis 10:14 "And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim”.
Perfect match, so we know that Philistim in Genesis 10:14 is the Philistines in 1 Chronicles 1:12. Knowing this, the Philistines came from HAM, one of Noah sons, who had Mizraim, who had Casluhim.
So this Giant Goliath came from ordinary men and women NOT FROM ANY ANGELIC UNION WITH HUMAN WOMAN. This Genesis 6 myth is coming apart. now, in the book of Numbers 13:33 "And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight".
Here we see giants in stature/height the term "Giants"/nephilim is associated with the sons of Anak which can be trace back to HAM. a son of Noah. And if one study the bible these so called Giants was just tall men. For Goliath was around 9ft. And 6 inches. 1 Samuel 17:4 "And there went out a
champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span."
Doing the math, a cubits is roughly 18 inches, and a span = roughly 9 inches Let’s add up Goliath height to be sure. He was six cubits and a span.
1 cubits = 18 inches, which =1ft and 6 inches
2 cubits = 18 inches, which =1ft and 6 inches
3 cubits = 18 inches, which =1ft and 6 inches
4 cubits = 18 inches, which =1ft and 6 inches
5 cubits = 18 inches, which =1ft and 6 inches
6 cubits = 18 inches, which =1ft and 6 inches
That’s a total of 6ft and 36 inches. 36 inches is 3 feet. that makes Goliath 9ft tall. But now we need to add the span which is roughly 9 inches, which means the Philistine of Gath, Goliath, was over 9 and a half feet tall. Well the tallest man in modern times was Robert Wadlow who stood in at 8ft and 11 inches, just about 9 feet. If one would look at some of his pictures next to ordinary people you will see why he is called a giant. Goliath would have had only a few inches on him.
These giants through out the bible is just extra tall men and women. If one just take their time and add up some of these heights one will find that they was just extraordinary tall men, who had the condition in humans called “gigantism”. as was with the famous wrestler Andre the giant.
So get that Gulliver travels myth out of your head. These was just extra tall men who had ordinary parents who was human.
Only Noah, and his family was the only people left on the planet at this time. if any giants came on the earth then it came through them, (Noah sons and their wives).
The Goliath Tree.
HAM
Mizraim
Casluhim
Philistim
Let’s look at another known giant by name, Og king of Bashan. Deuteronomy 4:47 "And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising”.
Many Christians believe in giants, as in stature. But the biggest, or tallest giant or giants in the bible range from 7 feet to approx. 14 feet. We today have people in this range. One of the most tallest giants mention in the bible king Og was 12 to 13 plus feet tall. And one of the most famous giants in the bible Goliath of Gath was around 9 feet tall.
There is a gene that people carry that make ordinary people tall in stature. Not any angelic corruption of any human gene pool, no, but human to human over time Genetic disorder. Follow this genetic trace. I'm going with scripture. the scriptures indicate that the giants of Genesis 6:4 suppose to have died out in the flood, and afterward, again angelic beings supposed to have impregnate human woman again, ...... that's according to some. the Flood that God sent, it was to destroy "all flesh" upon the earth (7 verse 21), Since these giants were simply a natural, genetic variation of human beings, they died along with the rest of the earth's population. The only humans to escape were Noah and his family. Since Noah was of a stock of smaller people, most of his descendants were of his stature. However, some of the genes that produce giants survived through the wife of Ham, one of Noah's sons. Therefore, a number of the sons of Canaan (one of Ham's sons) were giants. Look at Numbers 13:1-2, 32-33. but now in Deuteronomy 2:19-21, Moses records that God destroyed the giants who dwelt in Ammon so that the children of Lot could possess the land. Those giants who apparently descended from Canaan through a man named Anak eventually became extinct. King Og of Bashan was the last of them to inhabit Palestine east of Jordan, Deuteronomy 3:3-11. Notice this. "And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. I have alway wondered why women and children were to be destroyed, not just killed. but utterly destroyed. it seem like no genes are to be passed on, either by the husband/male, or the wife/female. Both before and after the Flood, God was directly involved in the destruction of those giant men, in statue. The reason for their destruction is not stated directly, only with this scripture, Genesis 6:5 "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”. evil continually, that’s the key. Notice verse 4. “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, (the genes was passed on by men or women), 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”. sons of God was before and after the flood. Nowhere in the bible, after the flood, was mention angels coming into women. Only do we find giants coming from Ham and his wife line. but like Goliath, those men seemed always to be in opposition to God and to his people Israel. and I notice that all who were giants seems to be males, no females?, if so just not mention?
listen up. don't get the term GIANT mixed up with height. understand king David was a mighty man. he had a reputation, "RENOWN" a NAME for his warrior skills. Samuel 18:6 "And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.1 Samuel 18:7 "And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
see, the word H1368 גִּבּוֹר gibbowr (ghib-bore') adj. don't always means stature in height, no
גִּבֹּר gibbor (ghib-bore') [shortened]
1. powerful.
2. (by implication) a warrior, tyrant.
[intensive from the same as H1397]
KJV: champion, chief, X excel, giant, man, mighty (man, one), strong (man), valiant man.
just a regular man in height, but a powerful warrior, as king David was. so don't let your imagination run wild on height.
Maybe many didn't hear, because many didn't read. Genesis 6:4 "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".
and Mighty Men is translated right in the verse, H1368 גִּבּוֹר gibbowr (ghib-bore') adj.
גִּבֹּר gibbor (ghib-bore') [shortened]
1. powerful.
2. (by implication) a warrior, tyrant.
[intensive from the same as H1397]
KJV: champion, chief, X excel, giant, man, mighty (man, one), strong (man), valiant man.
the KJV can translaty this word "Mighty Man"
as Champion, (see above) and who is one of the bibles well know Champion who was a giant? let the bible speak. 1 Samuel 17:4 "And there went out a
champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span". and six cubit an a span Goliath was only 9 feet and 9 inches tall.
Genesis 6 said these Nephilim/Giants H5307 נָפַל naphal "BECAME" known as "Mighty Men", H1368 גִּבּוֹר gibbowr (ghib-bore') adj.
גִּבֹּר gibbor (ghib-bore') [shortened]
1. powerful.
2. (by implication) a warrior, tyrant.
it's all there in the SAME verse.
