Deuteronomy 2:20

Deuteronomy 2:20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

Ver. 20. Zamzummims.] Big and boisterous, bearing down all before them; presumptuous wicked ones they were, and yet they called themselves Rephaims, that is, physicians or preservers: such, indeed, rulers ought to be. Isa 3:7 The Greeks, therefore, call a king Aναξ, ab ακος, medela, because he is to be ligator vulnerum, chirurgus, et Reip. medicus - the commonwealth's surgeon and physician. a But such were not these Zamzummims, more than in name: το μεν ονομα βιος, &c., as he said of his bow, Thy name is life, but thy use is present death.
