Ulangan 2:11

2:11 These people, as well as the Anakites, are also considered Rephaites; ¹  the Moabites call them Emites.

Ulangan 8:5

8:5 Be keenly aware that just as a parent disciplines his child, ²  the Lord your God disciplines you.

[2:11]  ¹ sn Rephaites. The earliest reference to this infamous giant race is, again, in the story of the invasion of the eastern kings (Gen 14:5). They lived around Ashteroth Karnaim, probably modern Tell Ashtarah (cf. Deut 1:4), in the Bashan plateau east of the Sea of Galilee. Og, king of Bashan, was a Rephaite (Deut 3:11; Josh 12:4; 13:12). Other texts speak of them or their kinfolk in both Transjordan (Deut 2:20; 3:13) and Canaan (Josh 11:21-22; 14:12, 15; 15:13-14; Judg 1:20; 1 Sam 17:4; 1 Chr 20:4-8). They also appear in extra-biblical literature, especially in connection with the city state of Ugarit. See C. L’Heureux, “Ugaritic and Biblical Rephaim,” HTR 67 (1974): 265-74.

[8:5]  ² tn Heb “just as a man disciplines his son.” The Hebrew text reflects the patriarchal idiom of the culture.
