Definition: Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.

Explanation: Okay, let’s break down that verse! It’s a really interesting and slightly mysterious part of the Old Testament. Here's what it means in simple terms: What are Anakim? “Anakims” is a Hebrew word that translates to “giants.” Think of them as very large, imposing figures – maybe like enormous elephants or mountains. What does Deuteronomy 2:11 say? It says, "Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emims." Let’s unpack that a little: “Which also were accounted giants…” : This just means the “giants” are being recognized and acknowledged. “…as the Anakim…” : This is the key part! "Anakim" is a specific group of people in Hebrew Bible tradition. They were considered to be an older, more powerful, and sometimes rebellious group of people. They're often linked to the Old Testament patriarchs like Abraham. “…but the Moabites call them Emims.” : This is where it gets really interesting. The Moabites (a group of people from the south) give the people called Anakim a new name – “Emims.” What does this all mean? The Bible suggests that the ancient people who were considered giants, and were connected to the Anakim, were actually the first humans or the original ancestors. Here's how it connects with some key ideas: Origins: The Moabites are seen as the source of human life, the first people created by God. Connection to the Old Testament: This concept is important in understanding the story of Abraham and the whole history of the Israelites. It suggests a lineage back to those original giants. In short, Deuteronomy 2:11 tells us that the ancient people who were considered giants were actually the first humans – the Emims. --- Do you want me to: Explain another verse?
