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] |
Subject: Textual evidence from Genesis 6:4 |
Bible Note: Hey there JVH.. Yes, the events of Job quite possibly occurred around the time of Moses and it very well is a possibility that Moses could have been a contemporary of Job. I was mistaken in what I said above, since Moses was not 'long since dead' at the time of Job. However, what I meant to say was that Moses was 'long since dead' by the probable time that Job had been written, which would be around Solomon's time. But we do not know for sure and we can only use the clues that we find in the text. However, this in no way takes away from the point that I tried to make above:.....1) That it is highly probable that Moses and the author of Job are two different people......2) That the same word used by Moses in Genesis 6:4 for 'sons' could be used by the author of Job in Job 1:6 to refer to angels. These are the two notes/questions that I tried to make. I will try to be more clear when I write my posts. |
