Contextual Overview
8 And when we were departed from our brethren the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the wyldernesse from Elath, & from Ezion Gaber, we turned and went by the way of the wyldernesse of Moab. 9 And the Lorde sayd vnto me: Thou shalt not fight agaynst the Moabites, neither prouoke them to battayle: for I wyll not geue thee of their lande to possesse, because I haue geuen Ar vnto the chyldren of Loth to possesse. 10 The Emims dwelt therin in tymes past, a people great, many, and tall, as the Anakims, 11 Whiche also were taken for giauntes as the Anakims, whom the Moabites call Emims. 12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir before tyme, whom the chyldren of Esau chased out, & destroyed them before them, and dwelt in their steade, as Israel did vnto the lande of his possession, whiche the Lorde gaue them. 13 Nowe ryse vp [sayde I] and get you ouer the riuer Zared: and we went ouer the riuer Zared. 14 The space in whiche we came from Cades Barnea, vntill we were come ouer the riuer Zared, was thirtie and eyght yeres, vntyll all the generation of the men of warre were wasted out from a mong the hoast, as the Lorde sware vnto them. 15 For in deede the hande of the Lorde was against them to destroy them fro among ye hoast, til they were cosumed. 16 And so it came to passe, that all the men of warre were consumed and dead from among the people. 17 And the Lord spake vnto me, saying:

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims,.... Because of their bulky size and tall stature; or,
"the Rephaim were they accounted, even they as the Anakims;''
they were reckoned Rephaim, a name for giants in early times, even as the Anakims were; see Genesis 14:5
but the Moabites called them Emims; to distinguish them from the Rephaim; so that it seems this name of Emims was not originally their name, but they are called so by a prolepsis, or anticipation, in
Genesis 14:5 since they had it from the Moabites, a people of a later date.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For the Emims, Horims, and Anakims, see the marginal references. These verses are either parenthetical or the insertion of a later hand.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 2:11. Which also were accounted giants — This is not a fortunate version. The word is not giants, but רפאים Rephaim, the name of a people. It appears that the Emim, the Anakim, and the Rephaim, were probably the same people, called by different names in the different countries where they dwelt; for they appear originally to have been a kind of wandering free-booters, who lived by plunder. (See on the preceding verse.) It must be granted, however, that there were several men of this race of extraordinary stature. And hence all gigantic men have been called Rephaim. (See on Genesis 6:4, and Genesis 14:5.) But we well know that fear and public report have often added whole cubits to men's height. It was under this influence that the spies acted, when they brought the disheartening report mentioned Numbers 13:33.
