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: Nephilim Humans? |
Bible Note: I have studied this through several commentaries. There is varied opinion, to say the least. The most sensible, in my opinion, is that the Sons of God, refering to the godly descendants of Seth, used no spiritual discrimination in chosing wives for themselves, and married descendants of Cain for beauty alone. This led to ungodliness and perverted the gifts of God towards humanitarian achivements. (commentary : Clark?) |
