ZAMZUMMIM: zam-zum'-im (zam-zummim): A race of giants who inhabited the region East of the Jordan afterward occupied by the Ammonites who displaced them. They are identified with the Rephaim (De 2:20). They may be the same as the Zuzim mentioned in connection with the Rephaim in Ge 14:5. See REPHAIM.

ZAMZUMMIM: A race of giants east of the Jordan, defeated by Chedorlaomer, Ge 14:5, and exterminated by the Ammonites, who possessed their territory until themselves subdued by Moses, De 2:20-21. See AMMONITES, and ZUZIM.

ZAMZUMMIMS: a race of giants; "a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims" (Deut. 2:20, 21). They were overcome by the Ammonites, "who called them Zamzummims." They belonged to the Rephaim, and inhabited the country afterwards occupied by the Ammonites. It has been conjectured that they might be Ham-zuzims, i.e., Zuzims dwelling in Ham, a place apparently to the south of Ashteroth (Gen. 14:5), the ancient Rabbath-ammon.

ZAMZUMMIMS: projects of crimes; enormous crimes

ZAMZUMMIMS: -Also called ZUZIMS -A race of giants #Ge 14:5; De 2:20,21

ZAMZUMMIM: (de 2:20) only, the Ammonite name for the people who by others were called Rephaim. They are described as having originally been a powerful and numerous nation of giants. From a slight similarity between the two names, and from the mention of the Emim in connection with each, it is conjectured that the Zamzummim are identical with the Zuzim.
