“The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;”
The Emim dwelt there in times past, a people great and many, and tall as the Anakim; -- Moab's pre-Moabite history included the Emim (giants). These remnants of earlier peoples had been displaced by Moab, just as Israel will displace the Canaanites. The narrative acknowledges that conquest is the pattern of world history, not unique to Israel.
