Hi ochaye, and welcome to EvC.
Thank you.

I wonder what you think about other references to giants in the Bible. Do you think that only Gen 6:4 is speaking of tyrants, or do you think that other Biblical references to giants have similar explanations?
No, just this one. The scholarly consensus is that Genesis 1-11 is allegorical, being based on existing story myths. In Numbers 13 the context is obviously one of gigantism- "We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them." Now whether that refers to real giants, with a good slice of hyperbole thrown in, or whether it is a story to make a spiritual point, I would not like to say.
