When Israel first approached Canaan, Moses sent 12 men to spy out the land. The Canaanites were a tribe or people that dwelt in the territory east of the Dead Sea. They are described as being great, numerous, and tall "like the Anakim" (Deut. 2:10). This comparison with the sons of Anak indicates that the Emim were giantlike in stature and fierce. In Joshua's rapid sweep through Canaan, he gained victories over the Anakim (Joshua 14:12-15).

Jewish answer

The Israelites defeated Sichon and Og (Numbers ch.21); and tradition states that both of them were huge men and that it was Moses himself who killed Og (Talmud, Berakhot 54b).
