Book of Giants

The Book of Giants is an ancient Jewish apocalyptic work associated with the Enochic tradition, composed during the Second Temple period. It expands the account of Genesis 6:1–4 and the Book of Enoch, describing the giants born from the unions between the fallen angels, known as Watchers, and human women.

The narrative follows the giants, including Ohyah and Hahyah, as they experience terrifying dreams foretelling their destruction and seek guidance from Enoch. Fragments written in Aramaic were discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran, confirming its circulation among ancient Jewish communities.

The work provides important evidence of early Jewish interpretations of angels, divine judgment, and the origins of evil.
