However, the Greek term for giants, "γίγαντες" (gigantes), may be contextually related.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Sheshai is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers to one of the three sons of Anak, who were giants living in Hebron during the time of the Israelite conquest of Canaan. The name may imply a characteristic of being "white" or "noble."<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the biblical narrative, the Anakim were a formidable race of giants inhabiting the land of Canaan. They were descendants of Anak and were known for their great size and strength. The presence of the Anakim, including Sheshai, in Hebron posed a significant challenge to the Israelites as they sought to claim the Promised Land. The conquest of Hebron and the defeat of the Anakim were pivotal in establishing Israelite control over Canaan.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a son of Anak<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Sheshai (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שֵׁשַׁי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a son of Anak</b></font> (Aramaic form, compare GFM<sup>Ju</sup>);
