Deuteronomio 2:20 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 2:20

That also was accounted a land of giants
Ammon was so reckoned as well as Moab, ( Deuteronomy 2:10 Deuteronomy 2:11 )

giants dwelt therein in old time;
the Rephaim dwelt there, as they did also in Ashteroth Karnaim, ( Genesis 14:5 )

and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
they are thought to be the same with the Zuzims in ( Genesis 14:5 ) who had their name, as Hillerus F3 thinks, from Mezuzah, a door post, from their tall stature, being as high as one; and for a like reason Saph the giant might have his name, ( 2 Samuel 21:18 ) . The word Zamzummims, according to him F4, signifies contrivers of evil and terrible things; they were inventors of wickedness, crafty and subtle in forming wicked and mischievous designs, which struck terror into people, and made them formidable to them.

Deuteronomio 2:20 In-Context

18 "T煤 cruzar谩s hoy por Ar la frontera de Moab.
19 "Y cuando llegues frente a los hijos de Am贸n, no los molestes ni los provoques, porque no te dar茅 nada de la tierra de los hijos de Am贸n en posesi贸n, pues se la he dado a los hijos de Lot por heredad."
20 (Es tambi茅n conocida como la tierra de los gigantes, porque antiguamente habitaban en ella gigantes, a los que los amonitas llaman zomzomeos,
21 pueblo grande, numeroso y alto como los anaceos, pero que el SE脩OR destruy贸 delante de ellos. Y los amonitas los desalojaron y se establecieron en su lugar,
22 tal como Dios hizo con los hijos de Esa煤, que habitan en Seir, cuando destruy贸 a los horeos delante de ellos; y ellos los desalojaron, y se establecieron en su lugar hasta hoy.
