"Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims,.... Because of their bulky size and tall stature; or,"the Rephaim were they accounted, even they as the Anakims;''they were reckoned Rephaim, a
name for giants in early times, even as the Anakims were; see Gen 14:5 . but the Moabites called them Emims; to distinguish them from the Rephaim; so that it seems this name of Emims was not originally their name, but they are called so by a prolepsis, or anticipation, in Gen 14:5 since they had it from the Moabites, a people of a later date.
