Psalm Sundays – Ark Tales (Psalm 68)

“Any mention of Bashan would remind a Jew of the Nephilim, and of a demonic stronghold. If you think I’m making too much of giants, it might be because most make too little. There are more than thirty verses about the Nephilim, or the Rephaim, or the Anakim; and they are ‘huge’ in Jewish history. Bible commentators prefer to downplay their role.”
