Robert If it was humans then how did their offsprings become giants. vs. 4 In those days, and even afterward, giants lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with human women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes mentioned in legends of old. (New Living Trans.) Nothing says that Seth's line were giants or any other special characteristics. |

Greetings Misch. I agree that gaints could be heros. I am going to paste a commentary by Jamison, Fausset, and Brown: . "the sons of God saw the daughters of men--By the former is meant the family of Seth, who were professedly religious; by the latter, the descendants of apostate Cain. Mixed marriages between parties of opposite principles and practice were necessarily sources of extensive corruption. The women, religious themselves, would as wives and mothers exert an influence fatal to the existence of religion in their household, and consequently the people of that later age sank to the lowest depravity. 4. giants--The term in Hebrew implies not so much the idea of great stature as of reckless ferocity, impious and daring characters, who spread devastation and carnage far and wide." I have noticed that the gaints of scripture are never referred to in a positive way. |
