"Nephilim".. "H5303 Nephilim (658c); from H5307; “giants,” name of two peoples, one before the flood and one after the flood:—Nephilim (3)." (NASB Exhaustive Concordance) "H5303 'nephiyl' 'nephil'From H5307; properly, a feller, that is, a bully or tyrant:—giant. "H5307 'naphal' (naw-fal) A primitive root; to fall, in a great variety of applications (intransitively or causatively, literally or figuratively):—be accepted, cast (down, self, [lots], out), cease, die, divide (by lot), (let) fail, (cause to, let, make, ready to) fall (away, down, -en, -ing), fell (-ing), fugitive, have [inheritamce], inferior, be judged [by mistake for H6419], lay (along), (cause to) lie down, light (down), be (X hast) lost, lying, overthrow, overwhelm, perish, present (-ed, -ing), (make to) rot, slay, smite out, X surely, throw down." (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance) "6:4 Nephilim. From a root meaning “to fall”; i.e., to fall upon others because these individuals were men of strength (only other use of this Hebrew word is in Num. 13:33). Evidently they were in the earth before the marriages of Gen. 6:2 and were not the offspring of those marriages from which came the mighty men (military men) and men of renown (of wealth or power)." (Ryrie Study Bible) "Nephilim Gen. 6:4; Num. 13:33, R.V.), giants, the Hebrew word left untranslated by the Revisers, the name of one of the Canaanitish tribes. The Revisers have, however, translated the Hebrew gibborim, in Gen. 6:4, “mighty men.” (Easton's Bible Dictionary) "6:4 The traditional rendering “giants” follows the Greek translation (c. 250 B.C.). The etymology of the term (, Heb.) is uncertain. Two derivations are suggested: (1) the “separate ones,” from the Hebrew verb , meaning “to be separated,” “to be distinct”; or (2) the “fallen ones,” from the verb (Heb.), meaning “to fall.” People of enormous size existed in ancient Israel (Num 13:31-33, note; Deut 2:20, note). “And also afterward” indicates that the “giants” existed both before and after the sin of the “sons of God” and, therefore, were not their offspring. Whoever these “men of renown” were, they were not to be feared by God’s people (cf. Num 13:33)." (Believer's Study Bible) |

Thanks for spending time on my question. So are you saying that the Nephilim are not descendants of Adam and Eve? I thought we were all descendants of Adam and Eve. |
