Anakim, a race of people of extraordinary size, lived in the mountainous and coastal regions of Canaan . Three are mentioned in The Bible: Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, who resided at Hebron. (Numbers 13:22)

The 12 Hebrew spies first saw them there and 10 of the spies gave a frightening report of the experience, claiming that these men were Nephilim. (Numbers 13:28-33; Deuteronomy 1:28) Large men of the Emim and the Rephaim were likened to them.

(Deuteronomy 2:10, 11, 20, 21; 9:1-3)"... a people great and tall, the sons of An′a‧kim, about whom you yourself have known and you yourself have heard it said, 'Who can make a firm stand before the sons of A′nak?"

(1 Chronicles 20:4-6) "...a man of extraordinary size whose fingers and toes were in sixes, twenty-four; and he, too, had been born to the Rephaim."

(Joshua 11:21, 22)Joshua destroyed the Anakim of Canaan, in..." the mountainous region, from He′bron, from De′bir, from A′nab and from all the mountainous region of Judah and from all the mountainous region of Israel. Along with their cities Joshua devoted them to destruction. No An′a‧kim were left in the land of the sons of Israel. It was only in (the Philistine cities of)Ga′za, in Gath and in Ash′dod that they remained. "

Is it true that there were giants in Canaan when the Israelites left Egypt?

A:Archaeologists have uncovered thousands of graves in what was once known as Canaan. If there was any truth in the biblical tradition of giants in the land, then at least some of these graves would have held the remains of giants, but none has ever been found. No extra-large houses with high ceilings. No cooking or eating utensils appropriate for a race of giants. Nothing. In fact, the idea of an Israelite conquest of Canaan has been largely abandoned by mainstream scholars, who say that the real origins of the Israelites was as Canaanite peasants who migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities into the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. There was no conquest and there were no giants.


Were there giants in Jericho?

A:When the spies returned and issued their report to Moses, they said that the land was 'flowing with milk and honey', but that the inhabitants were giants and and their cities fortified (Numbers 13:27-29), yet once the invasion began, no giants were to be found. The Bible describes the Israelites as easily conquering Jericho and makes no report of them meeting any giants. In fact, the Bible says they overran 31 cities without ever seeing the supposed giants. The Exodus story needed an explanation for the reluctance to enter the Promised Land, but the quite separate tradition of Joshua's conquest of Jericho and the Promised Land had no need of giants.
