The Nephilim are considered by many to be giant demigods, the unnatural offspring of the “daughters of men” (mortal women) in cohabitation with the “sons of God” (angels; cf. Genesis 6:1-4). This utterly unnatural union, violating God’s created order of being, was such a shocking abnormality as to necessitate the worldwide judgment of the Flood. Another view of the Nephilim is that they were particularly violent (the name is from a root, “to fall,” i.e., on other people), strong (“mighty”), and infamous (“men of renown”) people who predated the marriages of Genesis 6:2. This viewpoint often explains the unions as intermarriage of the godly line of Seth (described in Genesis 4:25-5:32) with the ungodly line of Cain (Genesis 4:1-24).
