   • Moses Defeats Og of Bashan, One of the Last Rephaim (Deuteronomy 3) Israel was afraid of the giants in the land of Canaan, and it would have to be a later generation that dealt with the giants under Joshua’s leadership.
   • Joshua and Caleb Drive Out the Anakim (Joshua 11; 14–15) Once Israel entered the land of Canaan under Joshua's leadership, they had to face the Anakim that the spies in Numbers 13 had feared 40 years prior.
