The term “Bible Bigfoot” is very direct and does not “beat around the bush” as the term goes. However, the Bible is much vaguer about the issues and refers to things of a controversial background just like any other animal. It speaks of these so-called “Bible Bigfoots” as giants of the Earth and Children of Esau. Although these terms do show forth a point little description is provided and the whole issue becomes more difficult to prove. Of the most famous of the biblical hominids, the Sa’ir is by far the most famous. “Sa’ir” is the Hebrew word for “Hairy Ones,” but the term was translated as Satyr, a Greek mythological being that is described as being half man, half goat. The mistranslation caused the general public to assume that the “mythical creatures” in the Bible are all metaphorical and do not imply actual animals in the least bit. The investigation was staunched and the general populous automatically assumed that the statements were all symbolical. The question was reduced to a bare minimum of endorsers.
“But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and there houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there and satyrs shall dance there.”
“The wild beast of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.”
These two verses specifically mention the satyr in scarce areas of the Earth and accompanying other animals of the desert. The satyr is not described in either of these two verses which therefore limit our knowledge on such a matter. But the fact is that the Sa;ir is not the only biblical Bigfoot. There are others and the first I would like to reference is that of the Children of Anak, the Anakims.
“And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahimam, Sheshai, and Talmai, the Children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt)… and there we saw the Giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the Giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
“The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; which also were accounted as giants as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims… a people great and many, and as tall as the Anakims; but the Lord destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead”
“A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, who can stand before the children of Anak! Understand therefore this day that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto thee.”
These verses all share a similar tale of Giants that roamed in biblical times. Do they still exist? Decide for yourself, but allow me to help you. I have included a list below that shows all of the names and corresponding references to Bible Bigfoots.
