What a Mess!!!!



(The Nephilim (Giants) lived on earth prior to the Flood.)


The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown (Genesis 6:4)


-----------------

(Only Noah and his family, and the animals on the Ark, survived the Flood.)

Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. (Genesis 7:23)

------------------

(Long after the Flood, the Nephilim (Giants still lived.)


We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them." (Numbers 13:33)



let's sum up this mess, Genesis 6:4 tells us Nephilim (Giants) lived before the flood of Noah, 

Genesis 7:22 tells us the entire earth was flooded and not a single HUMAN OR ANIMAL LIVED EXCEPT NOAH AND THOSE IN THE ARK!

Numbers 13.33 tells us they saw Nephilim Giants during the time of Moses, which were supposed have been annihilated through the flood Genesis 7:23?

The question is how do you  rectify this MESS! If all the people were drowned how did Nephilim (Giants) survive ? Shall we conclude Yahweh gave wrong info to the authors?

What a SHAME!!

-------------------


Thus they spread calumnies among the Israelites about the land they had scouted, saying, “The country that we traversed and scouted is one that devours its settlers. All the people that we saw in it are men of great size; we saw the Nephilim there—the Anakites are part of the Nephilim—and we looked like grasshoppers to ourselves, and so we must have looked to them.” (Numbers 13:32-33 )

How big were the Nephilim? If the spies thought of themselves as grasshoppers compare to the size of Nephilim, how big were their opponents?  Rashi the renowned commentator tells us :
ק — They were thus called because it seemed as if the sun was draped around their necks (מַעֲנִיקִים) because of their height (Sotah 34b).
בני ענק, according to one opinion cited by Rashi, the necks of these people reached almost to the sun.


ושם ראינו את הנפילים, “and there we have seen the Nephilim; some commentators believe that these people were very tall people who had fallen out of the sky, as in Job 14,18 הר נופל יבול, “mountains collapse (Chizkuni, Numbers 13:33:1)


Rabbi said: The angels who fell2 These “fallen angels” were called Nephilim . “Giants” is the usual rendering of this term. On the angels, cf. supra, pp. 46, 99; and infra, pp. 193 f. (Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer 22:4)

What's even more interesting, according to Isaiah God sits on top of the circle earth and people are like grasshoppers?
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. (Isaiah 40:22)
So we can conclude from the Bible and Rabbinic commentary, that the spies saw giants who were so big they could reach the sun, which makes them taller than the tower of Babylon . Yahweh on the other hand sits on top of the circle earth and see people as grasshoppers how fascinating.
