This article presents a textual criticism of the deuterocanonical Old Testament passage of Ben Sira 16:7 and its reference to "giants." Details are given highlighting the scholastic associations between the Ben Sira passage and Genesis 6:1-4, both of which describe ancient giants. Commentary is then given showing evidence for and against such intertextual associations.
