I have completed a new vidoe on the Nephilim. This video includes legends and Jewish stories of the Nephilim as handed down by rabbinical tradition. I used very powerful music and am very happy with the final video. Originally I did not know what I would include in a 3rd video about the nephilim as I have felt in that I have nearly exhausted all that I have on this topic. I completed the script within a day while combing through Jewish encyclopedia souces, rabbinical history and combing it into a single compilation. It fell together quickly with 4 drafts and a quick and successful recording of the narration in about 1 hour. The sound quality appears to be alot better than previous/recent videos which was solved by simply not even wearing the headset but wrapping it over my neck with the mouthpiece positioned perfectly while using my earphones in a seperate audio desktop jack to review the recordings while recording. This seemed to work very well and I am happy that the quality of both the audio and the video sequences came out so elegantly. I have included the full script below of the narration as well as musical track lists. At the 9 minute mark I had completed the video, however I decided to extend the video with an additional music track and filled it in nicely with a star wars force unleashed sequence of video which fit nicely with David/Goliath.Script Below
1) The Nephilim
In the bible the Nephilim appear before the flood and re-emerge after the global flood in large populations. They are described as having an immense stature, being powerful numerous and tall. Some tribes even possessed 24 fingers and toes with double rows of teeth.Og, the giant King of Bashan, stood at 11 feet 10 inches. He is sometimes referred to in Jewish literature as being the only Pre-flood Nephilim survivor. It is said that upon the destruction of the world, Noah made a place for him near the lattice door of the ark, through which because Og had sworn to serve Noah and his descendants for all time, he handed him his food every day. The Talmud sees a reference to this in the word "the escaped. Arabic writers quote this escape of Og as a "Jewish" story outlining the same details as being the post repopulation of the Nephilim. However there is little credence to support this fanciful account.
In ancient times Gigantic stature was considered a blemish rendering a priest unfit for service, Men of tall stature were warned not to marry women of similar proportions, lest a "mast" or very tall being be born unto them.
Among the Philistines the Nephilim settled, in a place named the "valley of Rephaim" The Nephilim did not constitute a distinct, nationality, but were a breed of men of great stature found among various people in ancient times. Hence Og belonged to the Anakim who were also known as the Amorites at the time. King David's giants were Philistines and Gittites. If the Horites were Rephaim, they are the exception, inasmuch as they maintained their identity as a distinct people over other tribes of Nephilim. This view, however, is not generally accepted.
In the case of the Emim and the Zamzummim it is expressly stated in Deuteronomy that they were replaced by the Moabites and Ammonites, while the Avim were annihilated by the Philistines
The tradition in Enoch and the Book of Jubilees supplies the explanation why the giants were designated as "Rephaim." According to the Book of Jubilees, these (Nefilim) slew one another, and thus the curse pronounced against the shedders of blood fell upon them. These giants were also known as those who killed their own which can also be translated as childless.
2) The Chief angels
The Chief fallen angels as cited in Enoch were known as those that guided the world, but later, fragments were translated to those "who ruined the world". These giants who were direct offspring of the fallen angels would later be classed into generations. The original Giants, Nephilim and their sons and the Eliud or grandsons. The original Giants were probably largest in size.
In the Book of Jubilees the last-mentioned are called "Elyo" These three classes correspond to the three names employed in Gen. vi. 4 = "Nephilim," "Gibborim," and "Anshe ha-Shem" or"Anakim. In the Book of Jubilees these three are described as being different "they fought with one another."
According to the midrash, Adam before the Fall was of gigantic stature but in consequence of his sin was reduced to ordinary human proportions, and in addition lost the "demut" or his (likeness) to God. These giants, though molded like Adam before the Fall, "were not like" God; they were exempt from the forfeiture of original stature, they, like man, had lost the demut. The Rabbis hold that these giants had seven names: (1) "Emim," because whoever saw one of them was seized with terror. (2) "Rephaim," because their sight made people "soft" (fearful) like wax. (3) "Gibborim," because their brains alone measured 18 ells. (4) "Zamzummim," because they inspired fear and were fierce warriors. (5) "Anakim," because they wore huge necklaces in great numbers. (6) "Avim," because they destroyed the world and themselves (7) "Nefilim," because they caused the world to fall and fell themselves.
The description "Anshe ha-Shem" (Men of the Name) is interpreted as "men of destruction". The cabalistic commentators allege that they were called "Men of the Name" because they imparted to men the mysteries of the Divine Name and the names of demons, to conjure therewith. For in doing so, some of their kind had their noses pierced and were suspended from the dark mountains so that never again could they see the sun again.
The Anakim were the sons of the Nephilim, and the giants Og and Sihon were the sons of Hiya, who was the son of Samyaza, the chief fallen angel.
Some of these giants had feet 18 ells in length, and the same length is given for the thigh. An ell ranges from country to country but in general is about 114cm or 45 inches in length - often being measured from one elbow across the chest to the next elbow. Numerous rows of teeth are also ascribed to them
They were very voracious, eating as many as a thousand oxen, horses, and camels each day. Relying upon their great size, and upon the power of their enormous feet to stop the rising waters, they ridiculed Noah. These giants led a most shameful life, thus causing God to send the Flood. This is also the view taken by Arabic authors, where women seduced them by music, cosmetics while adorned with pearl necklaces, similar to the rabbinical translation of anak meaning neck.
3) Hebrew, Enoch and watchers
After the collapse of the Tower of Babel, Hebrew was forgotten until Abraham was taught it again by the angels. After the murder by Cain, it was announced and written down on the heavenly tablets that both he that committed murder, and he that witnessed it and did not declare it before the tribunal of justice for punishment, should be cursed; wherefore even the angels must declare every sin committed by man.
Enoch, who was the first man initiated by the angels into the art of writing, and who accordingly wrote down all the secrets of astronomy, of chronology, and of the world's epochs to the end of time, testified against the angels that fell by lusting after the daughters of men; and ever since he was taken to heaven he is said to have been recording the good deeds and the sins of men, and will continue to record them until Judgment Day.
Thus all the iniquities of men from the time of the Flood, and all that is done in heaven, earth, or Sheol, are written on the tablets of heaven for final judgment on the Last Day.
Son of Arphaxad and father of Salah was taught the art of writing by his father. The book of Jubilees says that he found rocks with carved inscription preserving the forbidden science of astrology taught by the rebel angels. Similarly, Josephus speaks of pillars of brick and stone upon which had inscribed astrological knowledge.
God reveals to Enoch His own great secrets, His creation, the story of the fallen angels, He then orders Enoch to go back to earth for thirty days to teach his children and grandchildren what he has seen in heaven. He gives them instruction to write down these in books. He teaches them the ways of the Lord and tells them there is no intercession of departed saints for sinners. Enoch gives renewed instructions as to a righteous life until the Lord calls Enoch, the people assemble to kiss him and he addresses them for the last time.
4)The fall of the angels
The angels who fell into sin over the daughters of man are both contested to have fallen out of heaven as well as coming to earth as righteous bearers of light. According to rabbinical tradition, the angels seeing God's grief over the corruption on the earth volunteered to descent to earth to teach mankind righteousness. In their new surrounding in flesh. they themselves yielded to the admiration of women.
Samyaza became passionately enamored of Isṭar. She, however, would only yield to his desires only on the condition that he tell her the name of Yahweh by virtue of which he was to return to heaven. As soon as she was possessed the secret, she is said to have rose to heaven herself. Samyaza and his companion mated and had children. Samyaza learns of the coming flood and the troubling dreams his offspring begin to have and as a result is unable to shed his flesh and return to heaven in his native spiritual form. This announcement of the world's end and his own children's impending doom brings Samyaza to repentance. However Azazel, who deals in rich adornments and fine garments for women, continues in his evil ways.
5) God
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6
6)David and Goliath
The youngest of his fathers house, David kept his father's sheep, threatened by the Philistines; and being armed with Saul's armor, David finds that it impedes his movement, he discards it, takes his staff, and chooses five smooth stones out of the brook for use in his sling. He engages the giant, who, upon catching sight of his tiny adversary, is insulted with disgust. David declares that he comes in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel who Goliath has defied.
David moving forward slings one of the stones, which strikes the giant between the eyes, sinking deep into his forehead the giant falls. The sheep herder draws his enemies sword and defeats the Philistine champion. The young shepherd boy returns victorious amidst all odds with the forces of darkness fleeing in fear of the Almighty God of heaven and earth.
7) Ending Verses
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:17
For there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12
