Why is there no mention of dinosaurs in the great book?

Many translators are more honest than the KJV. They admit that they have no idea what "nephilim" means and do not translate it as "giants."

I'm not entirely sure that the authors of the Hebrew Scriptures had any idea what it meant, other than the person who actually wrote that verse. By the time when Numbers was written, there was a pretty strong tradition that they were giants. That's why I chose the King James translation.

And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.
We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."

Here, I chose a more modern translation (the NIV), to keep the Hebrew original rather than the translated KJV version. Regardless, you still find other references to giants in the Torah. It's clear that the ancient Hebrews believed that there had been a race of giant human beings in the past, and that by the time when Numbers was completed, the identification of giants with the nephilim was probably already widely accepted.
