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: WHY ARE NEPHILIMS REFERRED TO AS MEN OF OLD, MEN OF RENOWN |
Bible Answer: Ben. Ngige Read the passage who are the men of renown, the Nephilims or the sons of God? I believe in context it is talking of two groups of men one Nephilims or giants and another the sons of God or men of renown. The word nephilim is from a root meaning “to fall,” indicating that they were strong men who “fell” on others in the sense of overpowering them (the only other use of this term is in Num. 13:53). They were already in the earth when the “mighty men” and “men of renown” were born. The fallen ones are not the offspring from the union in 6:1,2 MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997).
