20 That region is also called the land of the Repha giants, who formerly lived there. The Ammon people-group call them the Zamzum group. 21 They were a large and powerful group, who were as tall as the descendants of Anak. But Yahweh got rid of them, and the Ammon people-group expelled them and took their land away from them and started to live there. 22 Yahweh had done the same thing for the descendants of Esau who live in the hilly area of Edom.

They still live there. 23 People who came from Crete Island got rid of the Av group who previously lived in the land close to the Mediterranean Sea, as far south as Gaza.
