Non humans in the Bible.

[Garee]

1Sam 17:4 Then a champion came out from the armies of the Philistines named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

Where others in his family taller than average?

Where others in his family taller than average?

1. Did Goliath Have Tall Siblings?​

Yes, the Bible suggests that Goliath had giant relatives, possibly brothers. Here's what we know:

• 2 Samuel 21:15–22 and 1 Chronicles 20:4–8 describe several battles with Philistine giants, including:
  
  • Ishbi-benob (2 Sam 21:16)
  • Saph/Sippai (2 Sam 21:18 / 1 Chr 20:4)
  • Lahmi, the brother of Goliath (1 Chr 20:5)
  • An unnamed giant with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot (2 Sam 21:20)
• These men are described as being from Gath, like Goliath, and are called "descendants of the giants" (Hebrew: Rapha or Rephaim).

So while the Bible doesn't explicitly say "Goliath had X number of brothers," it strongly implies he had giant kin, possibly siblings.

2. Did Other Races Seem Exceptionally Tall?​

Yes, several groups in the Bible are described as exceptionally large or tall, often associated with giants:

a. Anakim​

• Descendants of Anak, seen by the Israelite spies in Numbers 13:33:
  

  "We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."

• Lived in Hebron and other parts of Canaan.
• Joshua drove many of them out (Joshua 11:21–22), but some remained in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod—where Goliath later appears.

b. Rephaim​

• A broader term for giants, possibly a race or class of people.
• Mentioned in Genesis 14:5, Deuteronomy 2–3, and Joshua 12:4.
• King Og of Bashan is described as the last of the Rephaim, with a bed 13.5 feet long (Deut 3:11).

c. Emim and Zamzummim​

• Other giant clans mentioned in Deuteronomy 2:10–11, 20–21.
• Lived in Moab and Ammon before being displaced.

---

Summary​

• Goliath had giant relatives, possibly brothers, who were also warriors from Gath.
• Several ancient peoples—Anakim, Rephaim, Emim, and Zamzummim—were described as exceptionally tall, possibly hybrid or supernatural in origin depending on interpretation.

Modern NBA Players vs. Biblical Giants​

• NBA players today often come from average-height parents, and their height is usually the result of genetic variation, nutrition, and sometimes even random mutation. For example, Yao Ming’s parents were tall, but not 7'6" tall. And some players like Dennis Rodman or Scottie Pippen came from relatively average-sized families.
• Biblical giants, on the other hand, are often described as coming from entire clans or races where everyone was unusually tall. These weren’t just outliers — they were part of a genetically distinct group. The Bible often refers to them as:
  
  • "descendants of the giants" (e.g., Rephaim)
  • "sons of Anak" (Anakim)
  • "men of great stature" (Numbers 13:32)

This suggests a hereditary trait passed down through generations, not just a one-off genetic fluke. Some interpretations even suggest non-human or hybrid origins, especially in the case of the Nephilim (Genesis 6:4), which adds another layer of mystery.

What are you trying to show me?

This appears to rely on subjective opinion. I believe I, for one, will continue relying on the context of the scriptures.

You seem to be saying that there is no scriptural (biblical) evidence for giants.

 

[Brad Huber]

What are you trying to show me?

I think he is saying they are just taller than most (modern day NBA players are tall) and not necessarily decedents of fallen angels that were modified to be tall.

You seem to be saying that there is no scriptural (biblical) evidence for giants.

That is an inaccurate assumption. Assumptions about me are mostly false as they are about the Holy Scripture.

Yes, the sin of being unevenly yoked. Christians as born again sons of God with non-believers' daughter of men and sons of men.(man kind)

Like unevenly yoked Samson "born of God" and Deliliah. Delaiah "not born of God" ; . . .

Renown meaning . . ."the condition of being known or talked about by many people".

Famous ones in both camps. In the camp of fabulous Goliath, a Hebrew word meaning "fabulous man-like creature of enormous size,"NBA. And In the camp of fabulous renown David (shortie) One little GPS (Gods position stone ) right between the eye the big guy fell flat on his face a little shove from behind

Sons of God born again believer continued to be unevenly yoked after the flood. The same commandment applies today

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

What did the flood demonstration change ?

You are correct. My apologies.
