A descendant of the fallen angels; the son of Ahijah, the grandson of Semyaza, and the brother of Sihon.  In Jewish tradition, Og was an Amorite giant slain in the ankle by Moses.  In Numbers 21:33, Og is king of Bashan who is delivered into the hands of Israel by God.  However, there is a legend that Og was in the Flood and was saved from it by climbing to the roof of the ark.  Palit (q.v.) is another name for Og.
