NASB | Genesis 4:26 To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 4:26 To Seth, also, a son was born, whom he named Enosh (mortal man, mankind). At that [same] time men began to call on the name of the LORD [in worship through prayer, praise, and thanksgiving]. [Joel 2:32; Luke 3:38; Acts 2:21] |
Bible Question: I have been reading Genesis 6. The phrase sons of God is mentioned twice. Once in vs. 2 and again in vs. 4. Who is this referring to? It seems that they are not talking about the men of the human race. If that is true then who are they talking about? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Misch I believe that the sons of God refer to the godly line of Seth. It would appear as the population of this line of people "who called upon the name of the Lord", that the godless line of Cain also mutiplied. It appears that this marriage between the two lines was grievous to the Lord. I do not think that these are fallen angels "who kept not their first estate (Jude 6) Angels are usually sexless in gender and marriage is unknown among them (Matt. 22.30) The sinful state of the earth of that time was very great and was destroyed by the flood except for 8 souls.
