who were the giants mentioned in genesis in bible and where did they originate?

There is a theory that when God cast Satan and his angels out of Heaven and to the earth, the fallen angels reproduced with humans and the result was giants. I've not seen a scripture to back it up, though, unless I overlooked it.

many teachers teach that the Kenites of the Bible were the descendants of Cain. It is very possible that this is so, but it is also possible that the Kenites mentioned in the Bible are from more than one person called Cain and therefore from different tribes of Kenites. The Kenites are around today. Anyone surnamed Cain could be called a Kenite, but that would not necessarily mean they were descendants of Cain. Of course, they could possibly be descendants of Cain. It is difficult to say. Having said all of this, I still believe that the Kenites in the Bible were the descendants of Cain, the son of Adam

Dinosaurs are never mentioned explicitly in the Bible, if at all. I have already seen you have been pointed to Job for Leviathan and Behemoth. That's the only potential mention in the Bible of dinosaurs.\n\nI see the creation story at the beginning of Genesis as a very quick overview - not a scientific textbook on how God made the world, but more of an overview to say "God made the universe, then he made man, then man screwed up and let's pick up with these people here." So, to me, the beginning stories - the creation and fall - are there as a quick introduction that sets the tone and the themes for, really, the entire rest of the Bible.

Describing that era, Moses wrote: “Now it came about that when men started to grow in numbers on the surface of the ground and daughters were born to them, then the sons of the true God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose.”—Genesis 6:1, 2.\n\nThose “sons of the true God” were not humans; they were angelic sons of God. (Compare Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:4, 7.) The Bible writer Jude relates that some angels “did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place.” (Jude 6) In other words, they left their assigned place in God’s heavenly organization because they preferred to live with beautiful women on earth. Jude adds that these rebellious angels were like the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, who ‘committed fornication excessively and went out after flesh for unnatural use.’—Jude 7.\n\nThe disobedient materialized angels had sexual relations with women, and the women bore children. These were not ordinary children. They were Nephilim, half human and half angel. The Bible account says: “The Nephilim proved to be in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of the true God continued to have relations with the daughters of men and they bore sons to them, they were the mighty ones who were of old, the men of fame.”—Genesis 6:4.\n\nThe Hebrew word “nephilim” literally means “fellers,” those who fell others, or who cause others to fall, through violent acts. Thus, it is not surprising that the Bible account adds: “The earth became filled with violence.”\n\nMisuse of masculinity and femininity became grossly apparent prior to the Flood. Angels that forsook their original position in heaven materialized in human bodies to enjoy sexual relations with women. (Genesis 6:1, 2) The record mentions only males being born from those unnatural couplings. And it seems that the offspring were hybrids, unable to reproduce. They became known as mighty ones, Nephilim, or Fellers, since they would cause others to fall down. (Genesis 6:4; footnote) Evidently they were violent, aggressive, displaying no tender compassion.\n\nAt the global Flood, the rebellious angels dematerialized and returned in disgrace to the spirit realm. God punished them by prohibiting them from again materializing human bodies. The Nephilim, the superhuman offspring of the disobedient angels, all perished. Only Noah and his small family survived the Deluge.\n\nThe disobedient angels and their offspring filled the earth with sexual immorality and violence. Hence, Jehovah brought that world to an end. (Genesis 6:5-7)

Hello BibleGuy the answer is simple. It is clearly writen. Gen 5:1-2, Gen 1:26-28.  Cain wife was from Adam, not His father, she was not His sister, Adam was the name of those God created in the Begining and called their name Adam, this is not talking about Adam & Eve who where in the Garden. Adam was the Name of those God created and 1 of Them He chose and Place in the Garden, thus showing His way even from the Begining chosing from Mankind (Adam) to guide and lead the others in the way.  Adam was not just One person but many. Not just One color.  If you like to know more contack me at PastorDoulos@yahoo.com

The book "The Secrets of Enoch" will give you all this info. Enoch was noahs great grandfather. Do a serch for the book of Enoch and you will find it on-line. Many people refer to these as Nephylium(spelling ?) This is the reason God destroyed the Earth with the flood. The angels are now referred to as demons for they are the fallen angels and yes it is believed that this is where the giants came from.

Not all of it, but quite a bit of it. The creation of mankind relates most closely to the myth of Enki and Ninhursag. The Creation itself relates to myths that can be found throughout Sumer. Cain and Able comes from the myth Inanna prefers the farmer. The biblical myth of the snake and the tree comes fgrom a portion of Gilgamesh even so much as to include lilith. Much of the begats were taken as the hebrew version of the kings list. Noah can be taken from the sumerian flood stories. \n\nMuch ot the later stuff is Canaanite. Job was taken from Canaanite stories forexample. \n\nThis was because Abraham came from the city of Ur. He would have worshiped the sumerian gods by their Akkadian names and would have done things in a sumerian manner. \n\nThe ten commandments are actually rather close to a sumerian contract, and the commandments, if taken in the proper historical context, can be shown to make much more sense from a sumerian point of view.\n\nAdendum:\nto T.O. snooze !: the tablets we have from the sumerians can be easily dated both by scientific means and by comparing them to the historical accounts shown elsewhere. If compared with the bible we see that Abraham was said to come from the city of Ur and so if we find biblical stories in an erlier form then we can tell who had the stories first. \n\nTo Kevin: Where are you getting this? Your information doesn't fit with the known archeological evidence. \n\nTo Jengen: Why answer the question if you know nothing about the subject. He asked a simple archeology based question. He did not request a flawed sermon.

Any of the Hebrews men who conquered Canaan, because they got to rape any women they could grab in the cities they conquered... having murdered their fathers and brothers in front of them of course.\n\nNo, I take that back, my favourite is Elisha, because he got cool super powers and could sumon up bears to eat young boys because they called him baldy. It would b so cool to see young boys being eaten alive by a bear, don't ya think, especially for such a frivolus reason?\n\n\nNo, I changed my mind again. It's defintitely the Angel of the Lord. He gets really cool super powers all the time, and he gets to sluaghter everyone in cold blood: old men, women,  babies.\n\n"And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword. But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee."\n\n\nThen he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!”  When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.  And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.\n\n"And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city."

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.\nGenesis 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. \n The Bible clearly says that God created and creates man.

The "Leviathan" in the bible was a large whale, its breath was spouting from its blowhole. There's all manner of enormous creatures in the ocean- giant squids, giant eels, giant sharks, giant whales. They can grow that large because of abundant food, and the water's buoyancy. Animals can't get that big on land because they couldn't support their own weight. \n\nDragons are another story. They were "real" also- that is, there were actual creatures, like the Komodo Dragon, that were sighted, and just got larger and more exaggerated with each re-telling. The Komodo Dragon does have foul breath (it never brushes its teeth, ever) it just wasn't fire.

Anyone who believes Adam and Eve were the only two people on the earth, has not read their Bible very carefully. There was a civilization in the land of "Nod". That is where Cain went to find his wife and build his own city. Adam and Eve were the progenitors of the Hebrew race

The Nephilim (fallen ones, giants) were the offspring of sexual relationships between the sons of God and daughters of men in Genesis 6:1-4. There is much debate as to the identity of the "sons of God" (see our article on this subject here). I believe the correct view is that they were fallen angels (demons) who mated with human females and/or possessed human males and then mated with human females. These unions resulted in offspring that were "heroes of old, men of renown" (Genesis 6:4). What were the Nephilim? According to Hebrew and other legends (the Book of Enoch and other non-Biblical writings), they were a race of giants and super-heroes who did acts of great evil. Their great size and power likely came from the mixture of demonic "DNA" with human genetics. All that the Bible directly says about them is that they were "heroes of old, men of renown" (Genesis 6:4). The Nephilim were not aliens, they were literal, physical beings produced from the union of the sons of God and daughters of men (Genesis 6:1-4).

No, Adam and Eve were the first Homo Sapiens.\n\nYou're trying too hard to fit science and the bible together.  God didn't create a clean rock called Earth.  He created the Earth with a history.  That's how you come to terms with 1,000,000 year old fossils.  He made them that old to begin with.  Connecting evolution to the Bible is easier than you think.

The word giant is mentioned ten times in the old. The first place it is mentioned is Sam 21*6 and the last Job 16*14. There are twelve different combinations of hebrew chaldaen words that define this word.\n\nThe word giants is mentioned thirteen times in the old starting with Gen 6*4 and the last place it is mentioned is Josh 18*16 and is about the same in words as the other. \n\nSo to answer your question exactly twenty three times in the Authorised King James Version Bible Only. Have fun with it and keep asking questions.

As it has been mentioned, the word "dinosaur" was not ever used before about the middle 1800's, so it's not possible for that word to be in any Bible translated before that.\nBehemoth is mentioned in the Book of Job, chapter 40, and if you read the description carefully, I don't think you could possibly conclude that it is anything other than what we would call a dinosaur today.\nLeviathan is mentioned in Job 41 - without a doubt, this is one of the creatures that you do not want to tangle with! A sea monster of some sort, and from reading carefully, you would conclude that it is a sort of fire-breathing dragon.\n\nin the Apochraphal book of Daniel, there is another chapter that tells the story of Daniel and the dragon - interesting reading.
