Isn't it amazing how blinded we've been to all that the Bible speaks of! The entrance of the Israelites coming into the promised land should be called, "Conquering the land of the Nephilim!":
Joshua 11:21-22 21 Then Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab and from all the hill country of Judah and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities. 22 There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod some remained.
Remember where Goliath was from?
Some of the inhabitants also were also Amorites, and they mentioned frequently in scripture. Why? The prophet Amos lets us know.
Amos 2:9 9 "Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, Though his height was like the height of cedars And he was strong as the oaks; I even destroyed his fruit above and his root below.
So see, when the Israelites were coming out of Egypt, and the LORD displayed His powers in great and awesome ways, it didn't stop with the crossing of the Red Sea. He brought them out against some of the biggest beings in the world! Kinda sheds new light on the saying "for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete" (Gen 15:13).
