Bible Question: Who are the sons of God and the daughters of men refering to in this verse? |
Bible Answer: reekid and everyone; In the non-Cannoized book of Jasher, there is much light shed upon the topic of the "sons of God and the daughters of men" Let me give a few verses to illustrate; Jasher 3:23.And in some time after, when the kings and princes and the sons of men were speaking to Enoch, and Enoch was teaching them the ways of God, behold an angel of the Lord then called unto Enoch from heaven, and wished to bring him up to heaven to make him reign there over the sons of God, as he had reigned over the sons of men upon earth. Jasher 4:18.And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals. God said to Noah in Jasher 5:32.And thou shalt choose for thy sons three maidens, from the daughters of men, and they shall be wives to thy sons. If you desire to check out the book of Jasher which is a book mentioned in Joshua 10:13 and also in 2 Sam 1:18 it can be located at the following web address http://www.ccel.org/a/anonymous/jasher/home.html But please read it cautiously if at all. In Christ zach† |
