Anak, according to this article, was a descendant of a man named Arba (Joshua 15:13). We don’t know much about Arba, but we know a little about Anak. He was considered a “great man,” but not by moral standards. Most likely, he was considered great for his appearance—his physical prowess. We’re not given many explicit details about him.

Now that we have somewhat of an understanding of Anak, what do we know of the Anakim? First and foremost, the word Anakim means “long-necked.” It has to do with their appearance. Deuteronomy 2:10 describes them as tall. And likely, that’s an understatement. If Goliath was a descendant of these people—and he was “six cubits and a span” (1 Samuel 17:...
Goliath was tall. To the point where no one—but a shepherd boy from Israel—would fight him. He seems to have many giant characteristics. So was Goliath a descendant of Anak? 1 Samuel 17:4 says that Goliath hails from the land of Gath. What do we know about the Land of Gath? Archeological digs of Gathindicate the city was huge.

We can learn many things from this man, even though not much is listed about him. First, we know that Satan likes to twist creation. Satan’s schemes often rhyme, if not repeat.

Jul 2, 2019 · The story of giants starts with the mysterious Nephilim in Genesis 6:4, who were wiped out by the flood. However, the Nephilim are linked with the later Anakim and Rephaim.
