“Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.”
King James Version (KJV)
2:9 Ar - The chief city of the Moabites, here put for the whole country which depended upon it. The children of Lot - So called to signify that this preservation, was not for their sakes, for they were a wicked people, but for Lot's sake whose memory God yet honours.
2:10 The Emims - Men terrible for stature and strength, as their very name imparts, whose expulsion by the Moabites is here noted as a great encouragement to the Israelites, for whose sake he would much more drive out the wicked and accursed Canaanites.
2:12 Which the Lord gave - The past tense is here put for the future, will give after the manner of the prophets.
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims, but the Moabites call them Emims.
