I appreciate your reading of the article and your reply. This reference is to Goliath and here he is associated with the Rephaim, who were also considered to be descendants of the Nephilim. The search takes them around the globe to Egypt, Peru and the United States, but most significantly, the docu-series begins in the Golan Heights in Israel. Hi Randy However, if we adjust the size of the cubit and span to what would be more likely for an ancient Israelite, then, according to Billing, 16.5 inches would be a reasonable cubit and 7.5 inches would equal a span. They sustain that these Nehpilim are, in fact, not Giants. Also, that only eight people and some animals survived the flood is affirmed circa five times in the Bible so that Nephilim did not survive and there is no indication that they, somehow, returned. even allegorically this would not make sense. Ask yourself, is it possible that Goliaths parents, being good Philistines and giving Goliath a Philistine name, would give his brother the name Lahmi? But Ill admit, 99 makes the story much more interesting. In todays world we do have some really tall people, but I wouldnt consider ANY of them as giants. Im sure Goliath was massive. It also includes the belief that editors of the text were not clumsy baffoons who inserted contradictions they hoped others would not notice (or that they were not aware of themselves). Being unnatural creatures, their souls had no place to rest in peace. 6 feet tall). Thats why I provided the links. I forgot to mention that us average sized a people, Im five feet eleven inches, dont consider basket ballers giants. God bless. This theory is an attempt to do away with what the Bible says.

Did we compare the bones of 10,000 men from the ancient world stretching from Asia, to the Middle East and then average their height? It seems possible that cross genetics of either race combine together would make some interesting football and basketball players at time of life. I appreciate your research on this subject. On this particular passage, however, bible scholar, J. Daniel Hays argues in a very convincing way for the reading found in one of the Dead Sea Scrolls (4QSam[a]) and the Septuagint (LXX). I find this very interesting because the bible is dealing with truth and not politics. Nephilim/Giants were about 6'6", which would certainly be inimidating, it would be like To The Most High be the Glory, If Goliath had been 30 feet tall the out come would have been the same. My figures are based upon what other scholars have said. Seems plausible to me. The Bible makes it crystal clear that Goliath is not a giant. Moonchild And one of our ancestors bones found was 13ft tall in a burial cave in 1980. They are also evil, blood thirsty monsters. Im always willing to post opposing views. Steve, What do you make of the dozens of skeletons at 7ft+ range found in the 1800s in the US alone? Those look to be defenses akin to Giants. folklore comes from historical basis. God bless! 4. This verse predates David and Goliath right? I also respect your patience with those in the blog who questioned your faith and didnt seem to read everything you had written based on the different evidence (MT, DSS, & LXX).
