You would have to prove to me that the canaanites were nephilim before I would agree God was also angry with Esau for his decision to marry into the canaanites, genetically-speaking. If anything, He would've been angry over the "false religion" of the canaanites, who were Ba'al worshippers (and Ba'al is Enlil, and Enlil is an Annunaki/Fallen Angel). Ya have to show me where it says they were also nephilim. I don't think they were. I think some of them were, but not the entire race of canaanites. Then you would have to show me where it says Esau married specificially into the nephilim sector of the canaanite population. 2 different things going on: Forbidden marriage due to DNA or forbidden marriage due to religion.
I can’t prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the specific Canaanite women Esau married were descended from the Nephilim. But I’ve compiled the verses which provide a reasonable suspicion that this was the case.
KJV Genesis 26:34-35
34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
The Hittites were numbered amongst the enemies of Israel in Genesis ch. 15.
KJV Genesis 15:18-21
18 In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girga#es, and the Jebusites.
KJV Genesis 24:2-4
2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
KJV Genesis 27:46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
Yes, the Canaanites were pagans, so that is definitely one of the reasons why Yahweh wouldn’t want His people to intermingle with them. But we also know that Canaan was under a curse from 9:25-27. And in Numbers 13:28-33 we find that Nephilim and Anakim were dwelling among the Canaanites. While we can’t be certain whether or not all the Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, etc. were contaminated by the Annunaki DNA, I believe many of them were. (Btw, Perhaps a person needs to have a certain percentage of demonic genes before they can actually be considered serpent seed? It seems likely that fifty-percent or more would qualify one as a reptilian. But it’s hard to say if a quarter or less would still damn a person.)
Here’s the Biblical evidence that at least some Canaanites had intermingled with the giants.
KJV Amos 2:9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
Besides Esau’s intermarriage with Canaanite women, his descendants mingled with the Horim, one of the tribes of the giants.
KJV Genesis 36:9-10,12, 20-22
9 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
10 These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.
12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife.
20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
21 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
22 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna.
Descendants of Seir the Horite are included in the genealogy of the Edomites in both Genesis ch. 36 and 1 Chronicles 1:34-54. I can only assume this means that the descendants of Esau intermarried with the descendants of Seir.
KJV Genesis 14:5-5
5. And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6. And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
Deuteronomy 2:11-12
11 Which also were accounted giants [Rephaim], as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the Lord gave unto them.
KJV Zechariah 14:21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.
KJV Matthew 15:22-28
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
While I concur that one of the most important reasons the Israelites were not allowed to intermarry was so that they would not be tempted to engage in idolatrous practices or worship pagan gods, there is a something else about intermarriage in the Old Testament which I hope to address later.
But for now I'm going to study the Tarim Basin Deluge scenario in more detail. Hopefully I'll be able to provide more information on it later.
