Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root אֵימָה (eimah), meaning "terror" or "fear."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term אֵימִים (Emim), as it is a specific proper noun referring to a particular group of people in the Old Testament context. Usage: The term Emim is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a race of giants who inhabited the land of Moab before the Moabites. They are mentioned in the context of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. Context: The Emim are mentioned in the Old Testament as an ancient people who were part of the Rephaim, a group of giants. They are specifically noted in Deuteronomy 2:10-11, where it is stated: "The Emim had formerly lived there, a people great and many, and tall as the Anakim. Like the Anakim, they are also regarded as Rephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim." This passage highlights the Emim's formidable stature and their association with other giant races such as the Anakim and Rephaim. The Emim were displaced by the Moabites, who referred to them by this name, which underscores their fearsome reputation. The biblical narrative places the Emim in the region east of the Jordan River, in the land that would later be occupied by the descendants of Lot, the Moabites. The mention of the Emim serves to illustrate the challenges faced by the Israelites as they approached the land promised to them by God, emphasizing the divine assistance required to overcome such formidable foes.
