By giants the Bible means to say "famous men". Also, the Hebrews believed the Anakites were like giants, because of their fear and complaining before taking their lands; see the episode of Caleb and Joshua.

i remember Caleb and Joshua when they sent the spies into Canaan, it took two men and a pole to carry one clove of grapes, those must have been some "famous" grapes.

FEE-FAI-FO-FUM is this where the Giants from what we know today, come from? Giants, sons of God, came onto the daughters of man, and bare children. Angels? Half-lings? or Demons? what exactly were these beings. All I know is, this one confused me. Many theories. All I know is the Bible said it, "Giants". They existed back then. Let me hear your thoughts on this one, were they Angles, or something else. I'm confused.

Thank You and God Bless​

What you are touching on (and perhaps JUST NOW realizing) ... is the FACT that there was a world-wide flood that occurred between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2! Most people do not know that! But when Lucifer rebelled in heaven (along with about 1/3 of all the angels), they were all thrown out of heaven! When Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, who was there tempting Eve? Was he "beautiful" at that time (covered with jewels of all sorts), or was he in the body of a serpent?

The "sons of God" mentioned were fallen angels. When Lucifer said that he would ascend above the stars ... where were those stars?

Genesis 6, 4

¶ There were giants in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore sons to them, the same became mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

They were men, giants by renown.

Read the context of the storyline from Genesis 4:15-6:2, here are some question you need to find the answer to. Question one, who are the geneologies being spoken of the the storyline, who of those two geneologies has only one daughter recorded as being born to them and which geneology has many daughters recorded as being born to them, answering tghese questions will help you with who the daughters are being born to in Genesis 6:1 once you understand the context of Genesis 4:15-6:1 you will understand 6:4 and the order of it's reading. A simple reading of Genesis 6:4 shows that the union of the daughters of men and the sons of God did not produce the giants because they were already on the earth and they were on it after the union.

You do not need to go outside the context of the storyline to get your answer.

how do you explain those giant grapes?
and the Most High commanded Caleb and Joshua to go into Canaan and destroy everyone including women and children. you dont think thats a bit strange? what threat would women and children be to the Almighty or His people?
then you have the descendants of the Canaanites in Sodom going crazy over over the men that visited Lot. every man in the village, young and old, wanting to tear the house down just to get to those visitors who just happened to be angels. you think they acted like that over every new visitor?
then you have Jude telling us those men of Sodom going after "strange" flesh.
