Strong's Lexicon Eymiym: Emim Original Word: אֵימִים Word Origin: Derived from the root אֵימָה (eymah), meaning "terror" or "fear." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Eymiym" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term referring to a particular group of people. Usage: The term "Eymiym" refers to an ancient people described in the Hebrew Bible as giants or formidable warriors. They are mentioned in the context of the early inhabitants of the land of Moab, before the Moabites settled there. The name itself suggests a sense of dread or fear, likely due to their imposing stature and strength. Cultural and Historical Background: The Eymiym were part of the larger narrative of the Rephaim, a group of ancient giants mentioned in the Old Testament. They were considered a powerful and fearsome people, contributing to the legendary accounts of giants in the ancient Near East. The Moabites, descendants of Lot, eventually displaced the Eymiym, as recorded in the biblical narrative. This displacement is part of the broader theme of divine providence and the fulfillment of God's promises to the descendants of Abraham.
