Bible Note: Hi aslira, Welcome to the forum! Personally, I don't know why people read that the offspring were "The Nephilim" or giants. If we read it carefully, we see that it says: The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, AND ALSO AFTERWARD, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. (CAP'S) are mine for emphasis. So you see the Nephilim (which may not even mean giants) were already in the land, because it says "afterward", "the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them" And the children of these "people" were simply, "mighty men who were of old, men of renown." It does not say they were Nephilim. Whoever or whatever the Nephilim were, they were not their children. I think this is perhaps one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible. But, people being people, it seems that most people, want to believe the fantastic. Just my two cents. John |
