Plus what they don't tell you the families that God ordered to be wiped out even the cattle... They were Nephilim just read the accounts of the 12 spys...
To be fair, the Hebrews were pretty diminutive at the time. Circa 5' - 5'2". Average Phillistines were better fed and towards the upper end of 5" on average. If you're a 5' shepherd and your enemies have 10" on you on average, everyone looks like a fricking giant.
You think that mankind was average 5 feet back when mankind had stronger DNA and were in better shape than today, when the average today is 5-9ish... I tend to think the opposite, I think the average human height was bigger than today...
Ancient diet was so piss-poor that vast swathes of the human population was malnourished enough to substantially impact their height. The Caananites were notable for being relatively well fed. The Hebrews referred to Canaan as being the land of milk and honey because the natives not only had food, but a pretty rich diet by the standards of the time.
