The Greek septuigent translates nephilim as gigantes which simply means big people. The Anakim are compared the the Emims which in Hebrew called raw-faw (which is translated as giants but means "of great stamina"). Interestingly, the Greek Septuigent renders raw-faw as Pathain logistheisetai which (after some pretty complicated parsing) means specifically emotional little monsters, which if you get past my 3rd grade sense of humor, can see the similarity with the Hebrew. |
