Beings 'on the earth in those days' (6:4); meaning unknown (possibly 'fallen ones', from naphal, to fall); LXX rendered gigantes, giants, and every later giant in Western literature descends from that choice. ⚠ Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33 (now on these pages) are the whole record of the word in the Hebrew Bible — and it appears TWICE in the Numbers verse, so two verses hold all three occurrences. This translation transliterates in both places so a reader can see it is one word; KJV and Geneva print 'giants' in Numbers, and the Spanish shelf follows the Greek without exception. → first discussed at Gen 6:4
