EMIM ē’ mĭm (אֵימִ֔ים, terrors). Early inhabitants of the area round Kiriathaim (q.v.) E of the Dead Sea, they were defeated in the time of Abraham by the four invading kings (Gen 14:5). In the time of the conquest they were described by Moses as former inhabitants of Moab, tall like the Anakim (q.v.), and therefore called “Emim” by the Moabites (Deut 2:10, 11). Y.
