Moses with the Tablets of the Law, by Rembrandt


Genesis 6

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.

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 Nephilim 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.

Deuteronomy 2

10 The Emim had lived there before. These people were many and powerful, and as tall as the Anakim. (Note: The Anakim were a tribe of Nephilim)

11 They are known as Rephaim also, like the Anakim. But the Moabites call them Emim.

20 It is known as the land of the Rephaim also. For Rephaim once lived in it. But the Amorites call them Zamzummin,

21 a people as great, as many and as tall as the Anakim. But the Lord destroyed them, and the sons of Ammon took their place and lived in their land.

Numbers 13

22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were.

28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.

31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are."

32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.

33 We saw the Nephilim there. We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."

2 Peter 2

4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment...
