this is a Jewish guy admitting that they are Canaanites not the Hebrews!! (not really coming out and saying it intentionally but this is what it means, if you go by the bible)
He explains that 'Giants' isn't the real meaning & not even in the Hebrew bible but that the 'Fallen ones' are the real Definition of them. Giants was a mistranslation by the Greek. Check it out at 10:40 ...this is also where he gets into the Neanderthal part. Make sure you watch it to the End.
'Fallen ones' is NOT the correct translation of nephilim. That is a mistranslation courtesy of Zechariah Sitchin whose 'scholarship' of ancient languages is nonexistent.
Here is a screen shot (not good quality) of the Aramaic naphil(a) from Morris Jastrow's Dictionary of the Targumim, the Talmud Babli and Yerushalmi, and the Midrashic Literature (1903; page 923, or page 243 of 1061 of the online PDF of volume 2)....
It isn't in the Hebrew Bible because it is an Aramaic word found in the Targums which were Aramaic translations of the Hebrew Bible.
The Greeks didn't mistranslate it at all since it means 'giants' or those who 'caused the downfall of the world'.
There is no way to mistake 'giants' for neanderthals since neanderthals only stood 5' - 5' 6" tall.
