1 | Who are the sons of God in Genesis 6:2? | Gen 6:2 | sdtaylor99 | 108038 | ||
Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Concerning the sons of God; I have heard two different answers to this. First, the sons of God could be the sons of Seth, while the daughters of men are the offspring of Cain. Second, the sons of God were fallen angels that were looking upon the daughters of men. It seems to me that the second is a more accurate account. Is this right? |

"Gen 6:1-4 *sons of God.* The 'sons of God' may mean God's created, supernatural beings, who were no longer godly in character (6.3). Some commentators believe, however, that this expression refers to the 'godly line' of Seth and that 'daughters of humans' (v. 4 in the NRSV) refer to women from the line of Cain. Most likely the phrase refers to those descendants of Seth who trusted in the Lord but whose children intermarried with women descended from Cain. Those marriages were not with angels then, but between godly and ungodly human families. Angels neither marry nor are given in marriage (Mt 22:30), so that this verse hardly applies to them. ... *Nephilim* are strong, violent, tyrannous men of great wickedness. It may well be that the explanation of these verses has been lost to us." (NRSV Harper Study Bible, Harold Lindsell, Ph.D., D.D., Grand Rapids, Michigan: Zondervan, 1991) | ||||||

Excellent source material, kalos! I am reading through the Bible this year using "The Best of Bible Pathway", which is a book by John A. Hash.. For Day 2 (Read Genesis 4-6), he writes.. "..The genealogy of the sons of God (6:2,4) continued through Adam and Eve's third son Seth (5:3), through whose lineage Jesus would come (Luke 3:38). What often happens today is exactly what happened then: The sons of God saw that the daughters of men (the people who lived in disobedience to God) were beautiful; and ... they chose wives for themselves (Genesis 6:2). It is often assumed that marriage of believers with nonbelievers may be an advantage. The heart could swell with pride that these mixed marriages produced brilliant men. They were powerful men of old, the famous men (6:4). But, they were not men who lived in obedience to God." "From the beginning, the biblical principle has always been: Do not be mismatched with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14)." Blessings to you, Makarios |

I have come to the conclusion that "the Sons of God" in Genesis 6:2 are from the linage of Seth and that it is refering to the geneology of Jesus, which is in Luke 2. Thank you for all your help. |
