Who are the SONS OF GOD in Genesis 6? | In-depth textual analysis | Bible study 

You are preaching this out of context taken by bits and pieces. Read the ENTIRE BOOK CAREFULLY AND ASK FOR DECERNMENT! They are fallen angels. That's why God says Noah was perfect in his generations l( genealogy). The sons of God are the fallen angels. That is why God flooded the world and only saved Noah and his family. Reread it.

@@lisachambers3683 nope. Reread it.

So, who are the sons of God in 1 John 3 v 1, 2

@@diaskent829 it doesn’t say sons of God it’s says children of God. It’s ambiguous. It’s a general statement.

This is a better interpretation from a professor at a christian seminar: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qKtHwc3mMY8.htmlsi=vlnABmyebcPw5cZj

@Matthew209100New Hi Matthew, why do you believe these are heavenly beings in Job 1? ~ Job 1: 3-5; When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and CONSECRATE them (Job's sons), rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus, Job did continually. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. The LORD said to Satan, “From where do you come?” Then Satan answered the LORD and said, “From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it.” (Summary) ~ Job and his sons (Godly men 'sons of God') are 'CONSECRATED', presenting themselves before God with ‘BURNT’ offerings (sin offerings for sanctification, but burnt offerings are complete submission to God). Satan was among them on earth. God asked Satan and he said he was on earth. The next four verses Satan describes Job’s hedge of protection, his blessings and riches etc. Satan has been there with Job. ~ This isn't angels presenting themselves to God in heaven, this is Job on earth, with his sons called ‘sons of God’. Consecrate: to induct a person into permanent office with a religious rite i.e., to ordain the office of Bishop. To make or declare sacred, to devote irrevocably to the worship of God by a solemn ceremony. God Bless and Look UP

You wrote: _"the "Sons of God" are mentioned in the book of Job 1:6 and they are seen as heavenly beings in the verse"_ By writing that, you show that you have never read the book of Job, and that you have no clue about what you're saying.

​@@alltimeislikethepresent They don't call them "heavenly beings" in Job, but from the evidence of them being in Gods presence they would have to be. Exodus 33:20; But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”

@@Matthew209100New Hi Matthew, Godly people 'present themselves before the Lord' all the time, it does not require one to be in heaven, remember God is OMNIPRESENT. ~ 1 Samuel 10:19; “But you have today rejected your God, who delivers you from all your calamities and your distresses; yet you have said, ‘No, but set a king over us!’ Now therefore, 'PRESENT YOURSELVES BEFORE THE LORD' by your tribes and by your clans.” ~ Joshua 24:1; Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and called for the elders of Israel and for their heads and their judges and their officers; and they 'PRESENTED THEMSELVES BEFORE GOD'. ~ Daniel 9:20; "Now while I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication 'BEFORE THE LORD' my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God," Best wishes and God Bless

@@Matthew209100New _"They don't call them "heavenly beings" in Job, but from the evidence of them being in Gods presence they would have to be."_ What do you mean by "being in God's presence"? _"Exodus 33:20; But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”"_ Where does the book of Job say anything about the sons of God seeing God's face?

@Carrie Carter the angles of HEAVEN do not marry. So yes that would sound illogical, but these angles were no longer apart of Heaven nor cared about the will of the Father. @Masterpiece Bible did a tremendous job with this video and explanation, but there are a few sources in other areas of the Bible not talked about here. Not even trying to change anyone’s mind or come off as an attack, just wanted to share my thoughts! God bless ma’am!

​@@truthbebold4009 Because the Sethith view is wrong. Sadly the author ignores all passages in the Bible where the Sons of God clearly refer to Angel's. Like in the book of Job.

@@lisachambers3683 I believe that as the Spirit leads Chris and teaches him from the Bible, we benefit from what he is learning. I have no doubt the Spirit is working, as you can probably tell from this channel's content. I agree that spiritual things are spiritually discerned. The Spirit can and does teach us as we study the Bible. In my personal experience with the Bible, I find that when I apply some of the principles I have been learning from this channel I can reach new depths in my study of God's word. What I learned from Chris does not take away from my personal study of the Bible but rather enhances it. That said I agree that we should always pray for the Holy Spirit to guide us when we read the Bible.

You're welcome!

You are probably right but there is one thing that I need clarification about. Who are these angels who didn't keep their position of authority in Jude 1:6?

And why does Jude 1:6 quote Enoch almost word for word .. Enoch fills in so much of what the Bible is missing

The problem with this master class it’s not addressing the elephant in the room. The Bene Elohim, Sons of God. When the Sons of God passage was put into Genesis 6 by Moses, he already had context for Sons of God from the book of Job. Job predates Moses and some believe he was the author. In Job 38 it clearly tells one who the sons of God were. “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who fixed its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its foundations set, or who laid its cornerstone, While the morning stars sang together and all the SONS OF GOD shouted for joy? It clearly states that the Sons of God were in heaven at creation. So were the morning stars, angels. (Rev 12:4 angels are stars) It doesn’t call the Sons of God angels, it’s two separate groups and we know man was not even created yet. In Gen 6 Moses figured the reader already knew who the verse was talking about. You can’t read Genesis 4 and 5 into 6 without dealing with the Term Sons of God and the Nephilim. The Nephilim we know who they were because of Numbers. They were giants, they were different than regular men but were men. They were ALL to be destroyed though. Moses, the author again figured everyone knew what he was talking about when inserting Nephilim in verse 6. That is the context for the whole verse, Moses assumed the readers knew what he was talking about. The genealogy.verses before 6 simply show the line of Christ, that’s its purpose. Both 4 and 5 have a flow but when one gets to 6 it upends the previous verses. Something different happened that would lead to the flood. If it was Cain mixing with Seth there Wasent any prohibition with mixing clans anywhere in Gen pre flood. The Bible never says that. It’s not even implied. As a matter of fact Cain had to have had a wife from Adam or Seth. The lines mixed then. See the problem with the master class interpretation. I kept on seeing that angels don’t procreate? other than Jesus saying in Heaven we will be like angels not marrying, there isn’t any other verse that says that and Jesus wasent discussing angles but human marriage. It also doesn’t say what the state of FALLEN angels are like. Jude and Petter explain Jude 1:6 “ And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day”. Peter 2:4 God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered theminto chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment” Both Petter and Jude figured their readers knew what they were talking about because they were discussing the same thing and that was Gen 6. Where else in the Bible do we have Heavenly creatures leaving there position or place. Needless to say the Bible never Says the Sons of God are Angels. The word Angels simply mean messengers. It became a generic term. It doesn’t tell you what kind of creature it is. Angels can appear as normal men that eat, walk, talk and have body mass. They look just like men. Any heavenly creature can be a messenger but not all creatures are sons of God. Scripture is clear Sons of God are heavenly beings that came down and had relations with the “ DAUGHTERS OF MEN”. not daughters of Cain or Seth but men which is both. Something happened during this period that caused the flood, it wasn’t Cain mixing with Seth it was spiritual. Just a thought, the only place that makes mixing a problem, until Moses era, was in the Garden when God put enmity between the Serpent seed( it has seed) and the woman’s. ( line of Christ) Why did God make the distinction? The narrative seems as though the Sons of God corrupted the human line to Christ hopping to stop his birth. So God destroyed the bad seed during the flood. Moses though says the Nephilim were there after the flood he knows this because he was fighting them. They were to be destroyed, completely. Why them, the nephilim and the Nephilim ancestors? Because they were tall? No, because they carried the seed of something evil, and it wasn’t Cain. At the time of David killing a giant could make or break one’s kingship, Saul was afraid of Goliath because he was unreal and he was big. But it wasn’t cartoonish like some imply. The Nephilim were different creatures and goliath was an ancestor of that line. I feel all the information above makes more sense of Genesis 6.

@@stanbrown4757exactly

Glad to hear that!

Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, I do believe this is what makes the most sense in that particular context.

It's unfortunate that men like Michael Heiser have attracted so many followers to this sci-fi version of God's word. He taught there were like four or five rebellions of the supernatural kind. Apparently they are extremely susceptible to rebelling. There might be more of them rebelling as we speak. Better hide your wife and daughters.

My pleasure!

Glad to hear that!

Yep, another one just like him.

I agree. Always thought it was angels but it did not make sense. This at least is more logical.

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful. What matters in the end is which explanation is actually supported by the text.

Thanks, appreciate it!

So your saying regular human being built pyramids and where are all the heavy equipment, our society today can't even constuct such structures,ARCH ANGELS ARE POWERFUL, ONE CAN SLEIGH 30 THOUSAND MEN , AND WHEN A FALLEN ANGEL APPROACHED YAHWEH, BEFORE ( JOB 1-2 ) SONS OF GOD IS SLANG FOR ANGELS

You‘re welcome!

Thanks! 🙂

It really depends on how you define giant. If these were people of exceptional size (as Num 13 seems to suggest) and/or power/reputation (see Gen 6:4 "mighty men", "men of renown") then I don't see why they could not be the offspring of humans.

@@MasterpieceBible Wow! Thank you! I didn’t really expect a response. I appreciate the work you put into your videos. I agree with you on most things.

@@ChristinewithaC Sure, thanks for the feedback!

@christinewithac512; Hi Christine remember 'Nephilim' can also be defined as 'Fallen Ones'. ~ Psalm 53:2-3; “God looks down from heaven on the children of man to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all ‘FALLEN AWAY’; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.” The terms 'Mighty Men' and 'Men of Renown' (Hebrew: Giborim and Sem) the same words that describes David's warriors, they were amazing fighting men, but still just men. God is perfectly capable of creating very large people like Goliath, and famous powerful mighty men like Samson, for His glory and for the good of His people... no angels are required. God will not share His glory with false gods. What fellowship has light with darkness. Here is one of many Bible verses that is a warning to God's people not to marry pagan idolators: ~ Deuteronomy 7:3-4; “Furthermore, you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor shall you take their daughters for your sons. “For they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods; then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you and He will quickly destroy you." God Bless and Look UP... y(our) redemption is near

Well I watched IP and Michael Heiser first and then I watched this video, so obviously this one is the Truth

Exactly. Great point. This should be an example people use. Not Angels having sex with humans.

Angels can take on human form, like the ones who rescue Lot. The men of Sodom told Lot to bring them out so they could have sex with them. Of course, their plan was thwarted, but it was a possibility.

Well, if we stick to the text, the reason God sent the Flood was because the wickedness of mankind on the earth had become great and every intent of the thought of their hearts was only evil continually. The issue is the exceeding wickedness of mankind (the same word that's used prior to Gen 6 to designate regular human beings). Of course there were very evil people after the flood as well (and God also held them accountable), but the situation before the flood was so bad that only eight people were willing to go into the ark. Basically evil had overtaken the world almost entirely (which suggests that the Flood was not just an act of justice but also one of mercy that secured the future of mankind). I don't see that kind of situation after the Flood - locally, yes, but not worldwide.

Thanks for your question! The text does not clearly specify the origin of the giants. It simply says that they were on the earth in those days and (possibly) that they were mighty men and men of renown (if "these" in v 4 is referring back to the giants). They are part of a theme of human greatness that begins in v 1 and climaxes in v 5 with God's assessment that the wickedness of man was great.

If God regretting making mankind (in His image) did He ever state that he regretted making the serpent/Devil/Satan?

This passage is clearly talking about fallen angels creating giants. There’s lots of supporting passages throughout the bible. The writers of these biblical books would have viewed the world this way.

@@MasterpieceBible The problem is Moses the Author of Genesis clearly is calling them Giants. They become Men of renown because of their strength and they were respected as warriors. Num clearly calls the Nephilim giants. Whether they were in the towns or not the spies called them Nephilim and that they were huge in stature , not important men. Moses was also the author of numbers. He clearly gives the definition of Nephilim from Gen 6 in Numbers.

I don't see any clear indication in the text that they were not human. "Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown" sounds like humans to me. Same with Num 13:33.

@@MasterpieceBible Right, because if you combined any other humans on the planet you wouldn't get "mighty men" offspring. Only combining "good" boys and "bad" girls allows for offspring so mighty they have a special name for them... It just doesn't make any since whatsoever to point out their children being ANY different than any others if they were mere humans.

The genesis 6 passage says “bene Elohim” it means angelic beings. The passages he said about “sons of god” use completely different words. People need to study the word “Elohim”

@@MasterpieceBible The Context of Sons of God is not chapter 4 and 5 but Job 1:6 and and 38:7. Both verses clearly use the term Sons of God and they are with God. Verse 38:7 clearly shows they were there before creation. Most scholars believe Moses is the main writer of Genesis and they believe Job is an older or contemporary book during Moses time. He knew the term Sons of God and he knew his audience knew it.

@@MasterpieceBible . Genesis says the Nephilim were on the earth in those days. So in other words they weren’t around until then. Where did they come from, what caused them? It’s a clear distinction between Nephilim and ordinary men. They were men, but were not ordinary The Nephilim came about because the sons of God went into the daughters of men. Once again, there is a clear distinction between sons of God and daughters of men. The daughters of men are the daughters of all men. That includes Cain and Seth. One more thing, you can’t use the new Testament as context for the sons of God. The writer of Genesis, Moses did not have the New Testament, he probably did know about the book of Job. The book was around then. Also, Paul and Jesus say the sons of God will be revealed at the resurrection Luke 20: 34 and Roman’s 8:18. Men did not have the opportunity to be sons of God or adopted sons until Christ so the new testament cannot be used as context for Gen 6. Once again Job is the context.

Yes, these seem to have been people of exceptional size and strength. The heroes of ancient times. Yet various scholars have also associated the term "nephilim" with the Hebrew word "naphal" (to fall) and suggested that it means "the fallen ones". In light of the immediate context and the allusions to the fall in 6:2 the author may be conveying both ideas here: physical size and strength, yet moral fallenness.

You're right. Angels do take human appearance and attributes as can be read in whole Genesis 19, "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares" We can say Hebrews 13:2 KJV testifies to this Genesis encounter, but it is more than likely refering to the story of Tobit, who was fully unaware of the "heavenly" nature of his host, angel Raphael, unlike Abraham, Lot and the evil population who knew who the "men" were in Genesis. And in all those "bodily" incursions, free will do apply for all creation. And Genesis 6 is unambiguous about who did what. 1 Enoch gives more details about it, and also their subsequent judgement, 2 Peter and Jude refers to angels being in chains of darkness for going agaisnt their order. Drawing clearly from Enoch. As for me, i used to trust these types of scholars, like hey they should know better, but i realised they're gate keepers, knowingly or not, keeping folks from receiving the whole Truth, as written somewhere in Mathew 23 i think. Everything becomes clear once you start asking yourself "what writings were Peter, Jude, Hebrews, Marc and other epistle writers using/preaching out of?" 1. Enoch, Jubilees, 2. Esdras, Tobit are clearly among them, full of concepts and principles quoted by them and Jesus Himself! Some say Jesus said angels mary not, and don't multiply. It's true of course, they're not meant to, as long as they are in heaven in they're angelic form. But once they take a bodily appearance, they also inherit the characteristics, and can experience what that body is submitted to here on earth. That's the context of Genesis 6.

Appreciate the thoughtful feedback! Let's keep studying and praying for insight. Blessings!

Who were the Sons of Anak?

Who were the watchers?

My take is that Satan has been laying the groundwork for the end time delusions for thousands of years. Heiser was into the sensationalist sci-fi view and was influenced by the ANE, 2nd temple Judaism and extra biblical writings such as the book of Enoch. Satan wants us to have a view of the flood that lightens the responsibility off humanity and place it upon the supernatural realm. The condition of the human heart is diminished. The wickedness of sin and the holiness of God are not understood and neither is the restoration of man into the image of God.

So how do we know that the devil wasn't working for thousands of years to Kay the groundwork for people to view Scripture through the lens of the ANE, book of Enoch, Mesopotamia and 2nd temple Judaism? The only view that really matters is Jesus' view.

Thanks for your comment! I agree that Jude and Peter don't explicitly refer to Gen 6, but I don't see any textual evidence that the Nephilim are fallen angels or that they negatively influenced humans. In contrast to Gen 3, there is no evidence that the action of the sons of God in 6:2 was the result of a temptation by the Nephilim. The text simply says that they were on the earth in those days and (possibly) that they were mighty men and men of renown (if "these" refers back to the Nephilim). One of the reasons they are mentioned here is because of the theme of human greatness in this section that ironically climaxes in God's assessment that the wickedness of man was great. This irony is captured in the name "Nephilim" since it means "giants" but could also be understood as "fallen ones". And yes, in contrast to these fallen ones stands Noah, the faithful son of God who rescues those who belong to him from the divine judgment and thus points forward to the ultimate Son of God, Jesus.

The Israelites encounter “Nephillim” as they spied the promise land. They were Giants, the text says.

@@elitedrumlessons6174Giants probably had a different meaning then. Goliath was considered a Giant and he was between 9 and 10 feet tall. A person that tall would look like a Giant compared to a 5 foot or 6 foot person. Just because they were tall doesn’t mean they were half Angel half human hybrid

@appiryon2229; You made a lot of points to consider. Have you thought about the Nephilim as 'fallen ones' (humans that have permanently fallen from God's grace to the point where He gives them over to destruction)? ~ Psalm 53:2-3; “God looks down from heaven on the children of man to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all ‘FALLEN AWAY’; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.” ~ Job 1,2 & 38 are often referred to as proof ‘sons of God’ are angels, let’s break it down. ~ Job 1: 3-5; When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and CONSECRATE them (Job's sons), rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus, Job did continually.

Angels can take human form. Hebrews 13:2

Very interesting. Had not noticed that before. Thanks for sharing!

Happy to help

Yep agreed also job 38:7

@Markdivinus; Hi Mark, Hebrews 1 hints that angels are never called sons of God, and Jesus mentions that in the days of Noah people were eating, drinking, marrying and then the flood came and took them all away. I find it odd that Jesus would not mention angel/women unions when talking about marriages and the flood, He would know if this were true. The passages in Job are disputed because the LXX translated 'angels' and the Masoretic Hebrew has 'sons of God' here. The spacing of the text shows Job 1 & 2 as normal text, but Job 38 is spaced as a song or poem would be. ~ Job 1: 3-5; When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and CONSECRATE them (Job's sons), rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus, Job did continually.

How can Spirit body angels have sex with physical human women and reproduce after it’s kind? That’s impossible, a human and and angels body are two separate things and they are two different species of beings.

Did you even watch the video? Or is your mind more consumed of supernatural things?

Angels can take on a physical body. The angels that saved lot had a physical body.

@@AtreyuKhalilhow can a woman give birth to a child without having sex with a man?

No where in the Bible do you find evil angels taking on human bodies. Only good angels, sent by God, took on human bodies.

I think we have to look more broadly at the concept of sonship to God in the Bible. When we do that it becomes clear that it's not limited to supernatural beings, even in the Old Testament. So in the end the immediate context is key.

The apostle Peter also says “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬ ‭ He was talking about the angelic beings in Genesis 6

@@SeekingAlfalfa in this case he’s talking about angelic beings , context my friend

@@SeekingAlfalfaAgain, take in context in the 2nd letter Peter wrote. Both in Genesis 6:1 and and Job 1:6 refer to sons of God as angelic beings. So maybe you should take your own advice.

Thanks for your comment. First of all, the text never explicitly says that the giants were the offspring of these unions. It says they were on the earth in those days. But even if they were the offspring that does not necessitate the sons of God to be supernatural beings. There are super tall people living today and no one is suggesting that one of their parents was a supernatural being. When you analyze the text carefully you realize that there is a human (!) greatness theme in this passage that begins in v 1 (lit. when men began to become many/great) which climaxes in the Lord's assessment that their wickedness was great (v 5). The giants are part of that theme. The Hebrew "nephilim" is derived from "napal" ("to fall"), so the giants are "the fallen ones". Thus the text suggests a connection between human greatness (without God) and human wickedness. There is a great irony here: there is much human greatness (giants, heroes, men of renown), but what God saw was great wickedness. The sons of God "saw" that the daughters of men were "good", but God "saw" that the "evil" of men was great. As for the book of Enoch, it's not part of the canon and falsely uses Enochs name. We also do not know for a fact whether Jude really quoted from Enoch. Even if he did, that does not mean that everything in Enoch is true or that it should be considered inspired. There is also no indication that Jude was quoting from Enoch with regard to the angels (v 6) or that Jude was referring to Gen 6 in that context.

Jude is explaining the Angels that left their estate in the beginning with Satan. He explains how they will taste the same fire and Brimstone (sulpher) as Sodom and Gomorrah did for their immoral sexual acts. This isnt saying Angels in Genesis 6 committed sexual immoralities. All its telling is the Angels who fell or left their estate in the beginning will get the same punishment as those in Sodom and Gomorrah for following Satan. Fire.....

​@@MasterpieceBible Cant "fallen ones" be fallen man? Does this need to be Angels here which most think fallen has to be from the heavens? I believe its "fallen man".

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate and respect your opinion on this very controversial topic. I’ll continue reading and studying both sides of this super interesting topic. Have a blessed day.

​@@juanesparza3810I do believe that this angelic/human hybrid teaching is prevalent because Satan has been laying the groundwork for end time delusions for thousands of years and this teaching plays right into his hands. Why? Well just to briefly sum things up...the problem is sin, not supernatural beings. True righteousness and the true condition of the human heart is diminished. With these diminished, the restoration of man to the image of God is hindered.

Satan has been laying the groundwork for end time delusions for thousands of years. Angelic hybrids with humans is part of that delusion.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for asking. Different book, different context. Is it possible or even likely that there's a connection between the passages, especially since these are the only places where the expression occurs in the OT? Yes. Does it necessitate that the expression refers to supernatural beings in all cases? No. Even more so in light of the fact that the Bible makes reference to sons of God who are clearly human in both testaments. Of course it's always helpful to check where else a word or expression occurs in the Bible. But words can have different meanings, depending on the context. That's why, in the end, the immediate context is the primary determiner of meaning.

Good point! Thanks for sharing.

Better than "good point" pure facts! Let the Bible speak for itself. They were real. They are among us, so are evil spirits, principalities and dominions of unseen realm. The rule this world and are about to show up more and more because Christians refuse to use the gift of the holy spirit to cast out evil spirits and heal the sick. I am guilty of not understanding this powerful JESUS CHRIST gave to all believers. Things are about to get VERY REAL- and the army of Christ is sitting in denial waiting on GOD to do everything. He already did. He gave his son!

They didn't marry, more like raped and pillage - c'mon people. Just do a little research into Hebrew version of this EVENT- NOT STORY, NOT STORY, FACTUAL EVENT.

The text is ambiguous. It doesn't explicitly say that they're the offspring, but at the same time it associates them with the sons of God and daughters of man. The way the text is worded I don't think we can make any definite claim that they were the offspring. The text allows for the possibility that some of them were, but it's difficult if not impossible to know for sure.

Well we’re they a sub -race

@@MasterpieceBible well it does seem to imply anyways that they were men of renown Which I can get my head around.

"Nephilim" is often mistranslated to giants. The correct translation is "fallen". So translated: The "fallen" were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them.

Adam would have been the first "giant. He was likely much larger than even the tall men of today. Look at the massive creatures that lived on the Earth before the flood. We have fossils of animals that still exist today but are massive compared to their relatives of today.
