Is it not in Rabbah of the Ammonites? Nine cubits was its length , and four cubits its breadth, according to the common cubit Deuteronomy This suggests he was a giant. On top of this, Og is said to be the last remnant of the Rephaim. Who were the Rephaim? They were likely the descendants of a giant named Rapha. Deuteronomy 2 provides some interesting information about the Rephaim.
The Amorites may also have been giants. What is all the more fascinating is that Abraham then went and defeated Chedorlaomer—the giant killer—in order to rescue his nephew Lot Genesis These groups, including the Amalekites, Amorites, and Anakim-Rephaim, were still in the land during the time of Joshua Numbers , It is of note that the region of Bashan was in the land of the Rephaim.
Og was king of Bashan, and Og was one of the Rephaim giants. All that portion of Bashan is called the land of Rephaim. The Rephaim are also associated in the OT with Sheol, the place of the dead. They are said to be inhabitants of Sheol in the following passages: Isaiah ; , 19; Psalm ; Job ; Proverbs ; ; The Rephaim are said to rise up to greet the Babylonians when they sink down to Sheol in death Isaiah The false gods that Israelites at times worshipped are described as dead Rephaim that will not rise Isaiah The Psalmist asks whether the Rephaim will rise up to praise God Psalm ; cf.
The other passages highlight the Rephaim as inhabitants of Sheol Job ; Proverbs ; ; Once Israel entered the land of Canaan under Joshua's leadership, they had to face the Anakim that the spies in Numbers 13 had feared 40 years prior. Joshua had to be strong and courageous, but with Yahweh fighting for them, he was able to drive out the Canaanites, including the giants Deuteronomy Joshua and Caleb were the only two of the 12 spies who believed that Yahweh would give them victory over the giants in the land Numbers ; , and thus they were the only two allowed to enter the land 40 years later Numbers It is therefore fitting that Joshua and Caleb drove out those giants, which they did by faith in Yahweh:.
And Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua devoted them to destruction with their cities. There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the people of Israel.
Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod did some remain Joshua The Israelites were to kill the Canaanites as an offering to Yahweh. Caleb went to Joshua and said that he was as strong at 85 years of age as he was at 45, after 40 years of wandering in the wilderness Joshua Caleb then asked Joshua for Hebron, the land of the Anakim:. So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities.
Then Joshua blessed him, and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba.
Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war Joshua Hebron was the land of the three sons of Anak Numbers Judges , Together, Joshua and Caleb drove out the giants that the 10 other spies feared 40 years before. This is significant for several reasons. First, this means the task that God gave Israel to drive out the Canaanites was not complete seen more clearly in Judges 1—2.
Goliath was from Gath, one of the three Philistine cities where Anakim remained. Goliath also receives the most explicit description of a giant in all of Scripture:. And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. And he had bronze armor on his legs, and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.
David did not just defeat some random giant that Saul and the Israelites feared. Rather, Goliath was a remnant of the Anakim that Israel was supposed to drive out of the land of Canaan.
In killing Goliath, David was finishing the task of herem in Deuteronomy 7 that Joshua began to carry out. David, of course, proved to be his own gibbor in defeating Goliath 1 Samuel The Hebrew text says he was six cubits and a span tall. A cubit was approximately 18 inches and a span nine inches, making Goliath 9 feet 9 inches tall.
In general, we should prefer the Hebrew Masoretic Text, unless we have good reason to go with alternate readings. There are problems with the MT textual tradition of Samuel, so there may be a good reason to favor the alternate readings. We already saw that Og of Bashan had a bed that was over 13 feet long, which cannot be explained well if he were under seven feet tall. This should at least make us open to the idea of Goliath being closer to 10 feet tall. There is the possibility that the Septuagint used the longer Egyptian cubit in its description, meaning the Septuagint was essentially in agreement with the Hebrew.
Most text critical scholars seem to favor the Septuagint and Hebrew DSS reading, but this position is not certain and still has to explain why the MT has a different number. This armor weighed over pounds, implying he was massive. Though this translation is understandable because chain mail would resemble scales, it obscures an important connection with the serpent and possibly Dagon. Scale armor ramps up the significance, as it connects Goliath with the serpent himself.
Goliath was the seed of the serpent, and David was of the seed of the woman. Whether Goliath was the biological offspring of the serpent through the Nephilim or merely the spiritual offspring, there is a connection with Genesis David, the seed of the woman, crushed the head of the seed of the serpent. The scale armor may also connect Goliath with the Philistine god Dagon, who was possibly a god of the sea. Like his god Dagon, Goliath fell facedown and his head was cut off 1 Samuel ; cf.
