"Were the Horims giants?"


Were the Horims, in the land of Edom, giants, like Emims in the land of Moab, and the Zamzummims in the land of Ammon?

Deuteronomy 2:9 And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

  10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;

  11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.

  12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.


As well as:

Deuteronomy 2:19 And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

  20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

  21 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:

  22 As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:


Also, are the Horites of Seir the same as the Horims?

Genesis 14:6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
