Talk:The Book of Giants

This article is titled Ogias the Giant but in my humble opinion it should be called The Book of Giants (and have Ogias the Giant be a redirect), since the name of the original text (4Q203, 1Q23, 2Q26, 4Q530-532, 6Q8) is The Book of Giants in all reference literature, starting from Josef T. Milik (with Matthew Black), The Books of Enoch, Aramaic Fragments of Qumran Cave 4, Oxford: Clarendon, 1976. In addition, Ogias is probably a non-standard transliteration: I think it would be better Ohya, and in any case the Qumran fragments do not refer to Ogias/Ohya in a particular way, but at least to two others Giants (Hahya and Mahway) as well. --Nungalpiriggal (talk) 18:38, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Accepted. However Ogias exists, it refers to a separate related book. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:35, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

I came here looking for the spelling of "Mahway" and found it listed in the article in two different spellings under the same section. Obviously we are talking about a translated name- could go either way, but is there a concensus for Mahway? Wcichello (talk) 19:05, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

This article was heavily edited by User:Chauvelin2000 between March and August 2019. A lot of the content added by Chauvelin has now been removed, by myself and others, but a lot remains. This editor has previously been accused of pushing an Latter-Day Saint POV (and their additions to this article included a lengthy section on the Book of Moses), and concerns have been raised about their use of sources (see eg. this discussion). Given this, I think the sources cited in this article need to be checked to confirm that they support the content. I don't have access to any of them myself, unfortunately, so... just leaving this note. Dan from A.P. (talk) 16:13, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

This scripture is a prophesy concern the throne room in heaven - and similar imagery is repeated throughout The Book of Revelation where it is clearly referencing an appearance of Jesus Christ, or God, or a vision in the throne room of God. For example, Rev. 1:12-20, 4:3-11, 5:12-13 and many others. It has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with Giants.

In the Bible itself, there are numerous scriptures mentioning giants, specifically: Genesis 6:4 Numbers 13:33 Deuteronomy 2:11,20,3:11-14 Joshua 13:12,15:8 II Samuel 18:16,21:16-22 I Chronicles 20:4

But Daniel 7:9-14 is not one of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.252.234.202 (talk) 12:46, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
