Who were the Giants in the land?

Answer 1

A:It may seem strange that the spies sent by Moses reported back in fear of the giants they saw everywhere in the Promised Land, yet when Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land, he never once encountered even one giant. The Bible says the conquest went smoothly and the land did not devour (Numbers 13:32-33) the invading Hebrews. The giants were fables. The spies story was intended to create a sense of awe and dread among its listeners, but the conquest story did not need the giants so there was none.
