Read Deuteronomy 2:10 Using Other Translations
What does Deuteronomy 2:10 mean?
The Emims dwelt there in time past
We read of them as early as the times of Chedorlaomer, ( Genesis 14:5
) when their dwelling was in Kirjathaim, a city which Sihon king
of the Amorites took from the Moabites, and which being taken
from him, was with others given to the tribe of Reuben, (
Numbers
32:37 ) . These are by some thought to be the same with the
Yemim which Anah found and met with in the wilderness, and
defeated, which we render "mules", ( Genesis
36:24 ) . They had their name from the fear and terror they
put men into because of their gigantic stature and great
strength, as follows: it is probable they were the descendants of
Ham:
a people great and many, and tall as the
Anakims;
who were very numerous, of a very bulky size of body, and of high
stature, like the giants the spies had seen at Hebron, the sons
of Anak, a noted giant there, ( Numbers
13:22 Numbers
13:23 ) .
