Deuteronomy 2:21

A people great and many, and tall as the Anakims
As the Emims were, ( Deuteronomy 2:10 ) but the Lord destroyed them before them; destroyed the Zamzummims before the children of Amman; or otherwise they would have been an too much for them, being so numerous, and of such a gigantic stature:

and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead;
and in this way, and by these means, he gave them their land for a possession, ( Deuteronomy 2:19 ) .
