Commentary on Deuteronomy 2:11 (Summary)

Deuteronomy 2:11 (ESV)

11 Like the Anakim they are also counted as Rephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim.

The term Rephaim apparently served as a collective for the various ancient giant races. But the Moabites did not use that term; they referred to the giants as Emim.
