We can learn the names of individual giants mentioned in the bible by referencing the known tribe of Giants. This series that will introduce us to each of the 22 individually named giants referenced in the Bible.  According to the bible these giants once walked the earth and interacted with humans.  Are they still around? Do they still interact with humans? Do we know them today as Sasquatch and Bigfoot. Ahiman is one-third of a trio of sibling Giants, all children of Anak. Ahiman is referenced in as one of “three Giant Anakim bothers” seen by caleb and other spies in Mount Hebron (Num. 13:22). Later it is written that all three were driven out and slain (Josh. 15:14; Judg. 1:10). Meet Ahiman, a third generation Giant who can trace his lineage to Arba, The greatest man among the Anakim” (Joshua 14:15).

The name “Anakim” most likely means “long-necked,” i.e., “tall.” The Hebrews thought them to be descendants of the Nephilim, a powerful race who dominated the pre-Flood world (Genesis 6:4; Numbers 13:33). When the twelve Israelite spies returned from exploring the Promised Land, they gave a frightening report of “people great and tall” whom they identified as the sons of Anak (Deuteronomy 9:2). The Israelites, seized with fear and believing themselves to be mere “grasshoppers . . . in their sight” (Numbers 13:33), rebelled against God (Deuteronomy 1:26-28) and refused to enter the land God had promised them.
