Genocide in the land of Canaan…

nephilim2

Have you ever wondered why God of Israel, Isaac and Jacob ordered the genocide of a whole race? Moses had ordered spies to check out the land of Canaan and they came back with a very interesting report. The spies said that there were giants in the land – the nephilim!

Num 13:28-33  Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.  And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

The following youtube explains why God ordered the genocide of such a people. It’s only a couple of minutes long, but well worth watching.

Enjoy…

  1. Wow, I had never known that those tribes were linked to the Nephilim. Very interesting, and helpful from an apologetics (and philosophical) standpoint. I had always wondered how a loving God could command something so (seemingly) at odds to His other commands and His character. Good explanation.

    • It explains a lot does’t it? Glad you found this helpful.

About me:

Hiya... this is just a little blurb about why this blog exists. Living journey is pretty much a personal blog with emphasis on religion, culture, politics with a bit of personal thrown in.

It's about me living a journey as a Christian woman, wife, mother of three and one Grandson. Hence the name "living journey"

I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy posting on it.
