Deuteronomy 2:11

"(The Emim lived there before, a great and numerous people, and tall as the Anakim."

Key Reflection

When Moses spoke these words to the Israelites, he was reminding them of the Canaanite people they were about to encounter—the Emim and Anakim—who were known for their great numbers and towering stature. The original audience would have understood this as a warning of the formidable challenge they faced, emphasizing that these inhabitants were not to be underestimated due to their impressive physical presence.
