Joshua 12:4

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴The second area was the territory of Og king of Bashan, who was from a remnant of the Rephaim^[a] and who lived in Ashtaroth and in Edrei.

Joshua 12:4 Rephaim is the name of a group of people known for their great height. Og, as well as the strong warriors who fought David’s elite warriors (2 Samuel 21:16-20), were Rephaim. Goliath likely was also one of them. Their name seems to have come from a forefather named Rapha (2 Samuel 21:16). They seem to have been the earliest inhabitants of the land. By the time of the judges only a remnant of them was left. They were also known as Emim and Zamzummim.
