Contextual Overview
8 `And we pass by from our brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath, and by Ezion-Gaber; and we turn, and pass over the way of the wilderness of Moab; 9 and Jehovah saith unto me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir thyself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give to thee of their land [for] a possession; for to the sons of Lot I have given Ar [for] a possession.' 10 `The Emim formerly have dwelt in it, a people great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim; 11 Rephaim they are reckoned, they also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim. 12 And in Seir have the Horim dwelt formerly; and the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel hath done to the land of his possession, which Jehovah hath given to them; 13 now, rise ye, and pass over for yourselves the brook Zered; and we pass over the brook Zered. 14 `And the days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until that we have passed over the brook Zered, [are] thirty and eight years, till the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah hath sworn to them; 15 and also the hand of Jehovah hath been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, till they are consumed. 16 `And it cometh to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people, 17 that Jehovah speaketh unto 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.
