ABOVE First Friday of the school year. Flowers in honor of the occasion.

Gog and Magog and more
Having over the years conflated Gog and Magog and the Nephalim of Genesis and remembered the whole thing in parts and pieces, we actually googled a few of the terms that my mind had brought forth in reference to giants in the Bible.

The giants before Noah are not named as Gog and Magog, but are Nephalim, possibly the offspring of humans and fallen angels.

King James Genesis 6:4: There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

New American Standard Genesis 6:4: The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

So where in the Bible do Gog and Magog appear? One of the sons of Japheth (and thus grandson of Noah) is so named in Genesis. And after that, the names appear together in Ezekiel and Revelation.

New RSV Ezekiel 38:2: Mortal, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him

Revelation 20: and will come out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, in order to gather them for battle; they are as numerous as the sands of the sea.

This last is more similar to their appearance in the Qur'an, where Gog and Magog are warring tribes that have been sealed inside the earth. At the end of the world, they will break free and join in destruction of the earth.

Outside of the Bible? As giants, Gog and Magog guard the London Guildhall, London's city hall, as they have for centuries. How they came to England seems a matter of dueling traditions, each nonetheless involving the thirty-some willful daughters of a Roman emperor. (Wikipedia)

But back to the giants who are not Gog and Magog: In the Preservationist, Noe (Noah) is assisted at several turns by the neighboring giants, who are able to carry timbers of the necessary length for the ark he has been commanded to build.

And is Noe pronounced "No" or "No-E?" Is Noe-Bixby Road "No-Bixby" or "No-E Bixby?" (This came up at the annual choir party -- I had never heard it pronounced No-E Bixby before, but the pronouncer was one who ought to know.) Is Thomas Noe "No" or "No-E?" (Because we ought to be able to pronounce our scandals correctly.)
