Some think that the giants were the children of the 'sons of God' (perhaps angels) before the biblical Flood. However, modern scholars see the origin of the notion of the 'sons of God' as more mundane than this, incidentally removing a convenient explanation for the giants. In any case, the giants ought to have been wiped out by the biblical Flood.
Some of the best giant stories in The Bible are associated with the Philistines. The Philistines are known to have been sea-people who arrived from the Greek islands during the thirteenth century BCE, and many ancient ancient Greek legends were about giants. It is likely that in the first millennium BCE, the Hebrew people heard some of these legends from the Philistines and believed that there really were giants associated with the Philistines.
