An issue that has been troubling me throughout The Old Testament.
Who were the Nephilim/Giants. I am told that they are the descendants of Cain and due to their corruption and evils became 'monsterous' and large.
After the great flood wipes out all of humanity, Noah his 3 sons and their wives are the only humans left to repopulate the word.
How is it after the great flood that in later chapters -e.g. Numbers and Kings- Giants are mentioned once again.
Numbers 32. And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.
33. We saw the Giants there. We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."
Are these different Giants??
I am confused.
