Numbers 13:33

Context
13:33 We even saw the Nephilim 1  there (the descendants of Anak came from the Nephilim), and we seemed liked grasshoppers both to ourselves 2  and to them.” 3 

1 tc The Greek version uses gigantes (“giants”) to translate “the Nephilim,” but it does not retain the clause “the sons of Anak are from the Nephilim.”

sn The Nephilim are the legendary giants of antiquity. They are first discussed in Gen 6:4. This forms part of the pessimism of the spies’ report.

2 tn Heb “in our eyes.”

3 tn Heb “in their eyes.”
