Origin of Giants After the Flood

Introduction

• Presenter: Kazaan
• Purpose: To explain the origin of giants after the biblical flood
• Key Point: Giants were regular men, not supernatural beings

Biblical Background

• Genesis 7 & 8: The Flood and after; Only Noah and his family survived
• Genesis 9:18-19: Sons of Noah - Shem, Ham, Japheth - repopulated the earth
  • "The whole Earth was overspread by these three men."

Giants in the Bible

Goliath

• 1 Samuel 17:23: Goliath was a Philistine
• Philistines' Lineage:
  • Genesis 10:6, 13-14: Philistines came from Ham's lineage, specifically through Mizraim
  • 1 Chronicles 1:12: Confirms Philistine lineage from Casluhim
  • Conclusion: Goliath was a regular man from the Philistine lineage

King Og

• Deuteronomy 4:47: Og was a king of Bashan, an Amorite and giant
• Lineage of Amorites:
  • Genesis 10:15-16: Amorites came from Canaan, son of Ham
  • Amos 2:9: Amorites described symbolically as tall as cedar trees
  • Og was approximately 12 feet tall, based on biblical measurements

Understanding Measurements

• Cubit: Length of forearm, approximately 18 inches
• Span: Half a cubit, approximately 9 inches
• Giant's Height: Relative to average Israelite, not actual size of cedar trees
  • Example: Shaq (7'1") and Yao Ming (7'6") as modern giants

Biblical Giants

• 1 Chronicles 11:23: Egyptian man of great stature, 7'6" tall
• Goliath's Height: 9'9" tall

Sons of Anak

• Numbers 13: Israelite spies saw sons of Anak in Hebron
• Judges 1:10: Sons of Anak are Canaanites
• Joshua 21:11: Arba, father of Anak
  • Sons of Anak were Canaanites from the lineage of Ham

Misinterpretations

• Giants were not supernatural or alien beings
• Misunderstanding of the word "giant"
• Giants were taller than Israelites, hence referred to as giants

Conclusion

• Giants after the flood came from Ham's lineage
• No supernatural explanation needed, they were regular men with higher stature than Israelites
• Understanding the context and measurements is crucial in interpreting biblical giants
