Joshua and Caleb want to conquer the giants
Numbers 13:25
After exploring the land for forty days, the men returned
26 to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel at Kadesh in the wilderness of Paran. They reported to the whole community what they had seen and showed them the fruit they had taken from the land.
27 This was their report to Moses: “We entered the land you sent us to explore, and it is indeed a bountiful country—a land flowing with milk and honey. Here is the kind of fruit it produces.
28 But the people living there are powerful, and their towns are large and fortified. We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak!
30 But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said. “We can certainly conquer it!”
31 But the other men who had explored the land with him disagreed. “We can’t go up against them! They are stronger than we are!”
32 So they spread this bad report about the land among the Israelites: “The land we traveled through and explored will devour anyone who goes to live there. All the people we saw were huge.
33 We saw giants there, the descendants of Anak.
We even saw the Nephilim giants ( the Anak giants come from the Nephilim )
Next to them we felt like grasshoppers”

...nephilim is the same word as that used for giants in Genesis 6:4.
Nephilim is translated giants in the septuagint...
...it seems possible to infer that, soon after the flood, another intense
demonic invasion of earth took place, probably in connection with the
rebellion at Babel, and that certain canaanite tribes in particular
became so demon controlled that a race of monsters was again produced,
as in the days ( of Genesis 6:4 ) before the flood.
Finally, Moses and Joshua were instructed by GOD to utterly exterminate these tribes,
just as GOD had destroyed the antediluvians.
