AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 6:4 There were Nephilim (men of stature, notorious men) on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they gave birth to their children. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown (great reputation, fame). [Num 13:33] |
Bible Question: If the son's of God were the human descendants of Seth, who the son's of God in Job 1:6? |
Bible Answer: The NIV translates the "sons of God" to "Angels". The Hebrew word used is Ben-elohiym and roughly translates to "A group, sons of, or descendents of a mighty one or God" Because they were there with God and Satan would imply Angels rather than man. The Nephilim mentioned in Gen 6:4 could potentially refer to these Angels. This could explain why the children of the Nephilim and women were bigger and stronger than man. (also see Num 13:33, Num 13:28, Deut 1:28, Josh 11:22 and Josh 14:12 in this order) |
