PART 7 – Nephilim Accounts After The Flood
Let’s return to the bible to see what it says about the ‘Nephilim’ after the Flood. In the Old Testament, the only mentioning of Nephilim after the cataclysm was in Numbers 13. It was in the “evil report” that the spies sent out by Moses brought of the land of Canaan. As a result of this bad report, God’s judgment against these spies was harsh. They all died from the plague accept for two faithful servants of God.
“Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.” – Numbers 14:37
The phrase “evil report” is translated differently in individual translations: "evil report" (ASV); "bad account" (BBE); "evil words" (Brenton); "bad news" (CEV); "bad report" (ESV); "ill report" (Alter); "discouraging reports" (NAB, NJB). In Numbers 14:36 it doesn't speak about a false report, but about an undermining, disparaging report. The Lord gave the posterity of Israel the land of Canaan land, but the negative report caused all of the people to complain and revolt against the Lord. It triggered despair and the lack of faith in them. They feared for their lives if they traveled there.
So they gave a negative report to the Israelites about the land they had scouted: “The land we passed through to explore is one that devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw in it are men of great size.” – Numbers 13:32
“We even saw the Nephilim there — the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim! To ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and we must have seemed the same to them.” – Numbers 13:33
Caleb and Joshua, two of the designated spies, were first to provide their report before Moses. However, the other spies must of already ‘leaked’ their negative report to the Israelite community beforehand.
The men went back to Moses, Aaron, and the entire Israelite community in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back a report for them and the whole community, and they showed them the fruit of the land.
The reason is that Caleb had to quiet the people before Moses when he spoke.
Then Caleb quieted the people in the presence of Moses and said, “Let’s go up now and take possession of the land because we can certainly conquer it!”
Caleb urged Moses to send the Israelites up there to possess the land and assured him the Israelites would succeed. The other scouts however provided their ‘negative’ report before Moses. If the spies’ report was bad news and it was meant to mislead, then why didn’t Caleb and Joshua, two of the designated spies, call them out as being mistaken or even liars? Caleb and Joshua never denied the other men’s report of the sons of Nephilim and their “great stature” or “great size” and the peril forthwith. Instead, the crowd was incited to stone Caleb and Joshua after they tore their garments, which is a sign of their deep distress at the rebellious attitude of the people.
Can their description of the Anakim as descendants of Nephilim be taken as reliable? Being witnesses to what they observed isn’t really debunked. Their transgression was for instilling fear into the community causing their lack of faith, which undermined God’s plan for the Israelite people.
Another source telling us about the Nephilim is in the Book of Enoch. It is considered one of the ‘Deuterocanonical’ or ‘2nd canon’ books and is quoted in the Book of Jude. The Book of Enoch gives us greater insight about who the leaders of the fallen angels were. These Watchers taught mankind some really wicked practices and technologies. They taught them how to make weapons, how to perform abortions, how to do witchcraft and sorcery, astrology, makeup and jewelry, and much more. From this, it’s entirely possible that they greatly advanced these technologies, at least in the antediluvian era, and afterwards. Even the pre-Flood Nephilim, who were destroyed, their spirits are not bound, but they dwell to and fro on the earth.
But now the giants who are born from the (union of) the spirits and the flesh shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, because their dwelling shall be upon the earth and inside the earth. Evil spirits have come out of their bodies. Because from the day that they were created from the holy ones they became the Watchers; their first origin is the spiritual foundation. They will become evil upon the earth and shall be called evil spirits. The dwelling of the spiritual beings of heaven is heaven; but the dwelling of the spirits of the earth, which are born upon the earth, is in the earth. The spirits of the giants oppress each other, they will corrupt, fall, be excited, and fall upon the earth, and cause sorrow. They eat no food, nor become thirsty, nor find obstacles. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of the people and against the women, because they have proceeded forth (from them). – 1 Enoch 15
In the apocryphal “Book of Giants”, found both in the Dead Sea scroll and Manichaean versions, we are told after the flood, the giants and their sons still remained on the earth without bodies, become evil spirits, and are given a law by an angel of God how they are to live if they want to avoid being sent to the dark prison of punishment that the Watchers were sent to. And this explains how the Nephilim came to be on the earth after the flood. From this, we are told they are evil spirits.
After the Nephilim died they became roaming spirits of the earth. Not being confined to flesh, but able to inhabit flesh; the bodies of men and women, animals, and other "forms." Only when reading through the Testament of Solomon do we find evidence of these evil spirits residing on earth until the final judgment. Disembodied spirits they would become.
And there came before my face another enslaved spirit, having obscurely the form of a man, with gleaming eyes, and bearing in his hand a blade. And I asked: "Who art thou?" But he answered: "I am a lascivious spirit, engendered of a giant man who died in the massacre in the time of the giants." I said to him: "Tell me what thou art employed upon earth, and where thou hast thy dwelling." (Page 157) – Solomon 1:70
The Testament of Solomon is important primarily due to its writings of the spirits of the fallen Nephilim. Did Solomon encounter the spirits of the Nephilim which further amplifies the existence of their fallen nature? Even after the death, the Nephilim still lived through other bodies and “forms”.

Ah yes, thank you. I remember reading that Phoenician connection in Fingerprints of the Gods.
