SPECIAL TOPIC: TERMS USED FOR TALL/POWERFUL WARRIORS OR PEOPLE GROUPS (GIANTS)

These large/tall/powerful people are called by several names.

Nephilim (giants, BDB 658, KB 709) ‒ Gen. 6:4 (see SPECIAL TOPIC: Sons of God in Genesis 6); Num. 13:33. LXX translates it as "giants" (cf. 1 Enoch 6-19)
Rephaim (giants, BDB 952 II, KB 1274) ‒ Gen. 14:5; 15:20; Deut. 2:11,20; 3:11,13; Josh. 12:4; 13:12; 2 Sam. 21:16,18,20,22; 1 Chr. 20:4,6,8
Zamzummin (BDB 273, KB 266), ‒ Gen. 14:5; Deut. 2:20
Emim (BDB 34), ancient inhabitants of Moab. The name may be related to the Hebrew root (BDB 33), "terror" ‒ Gen. 14:5; Deut. 2:10-11
Anakim (sons of Anak, the long-necked ones, BDB 778 I, KB 859 II) ‒ Num. 13:33; Deut. 1:28; 2:10-11,21; 9:2; Jos. 11:21-22; 14:12,15; 15:14; Jdgs. 1:20

Notice how Gen. 14:5 mentions three of these groups of large men (cf. LXX, Vulgate). The term Rephain is also used of those living in Sheol (cf. Job 26:5; Ps. 88:10-11; Isa. 26:14,19).
