@@dhelle2618he’s not wrong. You have to read the Bible yourself to understand that the bible project does get things wrong because they’re simply summarizing but also sometimes not telling the story right. It’s the same way many believers only cite verses to prove a point but never speak about the story that lead to said verse. You have to study the word of God for yourself to understand it because alot of summary videos can be misleading at times. Like the Bible Projects Ecclesiates video? It’s Solomon thats writing that book, yet they make it seem like it’s a random teacher saying “life is meaningless”, when it’s simply Solomon saying all the wisdom he has gained from God? Has shown him the treasures of this life are all meaningless because after it’s all said & done? We will be infront of God with none of those things, so it is all meaningless. Which is why it is written to not love the things of the world.

I think the Nephilim (amongst other peculiar humanoid races/creatures described in the Bible) are akin to the mythological heroes/gods/demigods of many mythologies. There are many similarities between the two, and even their origins of being the offsprings of demons/angels/gods and humans, having peculiar features and abilities that are unlike that of humans. It's pretty neat to think about how these mythologies evolved and developed in different cultures, but yet still have some many similarities, really proving that there is much more to these legends than just imagination of ancient people.

I've had similar ideas. Especially when you look at the epic of Gilgamesh. There's a lot of similarities.

[@Creepyslandofdreams]

I think this is a very sound interpretation, In my opinion there are many things in the bible that stem from ancient myths. In a scholarly perspective, we are not perfect transcribers of gods word, people use it to sin even today, and why would humans be fit for understanding the full berth of gods word? It is very likely that many original stories have been changed or modified with the development of the religion, though (religiously) the stories that we can disprove with physical (or lack thereof) evidence, should still be taken as serious metaphor or allegory (though in the case of allegory we may not know what is being allegorized).

The presence of the Nephilim before and after the flood is often overlooked. It seems that if they were the offspring of fallen angels and humans then there would have had to be a first incursion (pre flood) and a second incursion (post flood) to account for their existence.

[@williamforsythe5850]

God spared Noah because he was pure (imo meaning the last purely human blood because Noah was by no means perfect), but his children and their wives, and Noah's wife were brought as well. Meaning they may have had Nephilim bloodlines like the rest of humanity that later re-emerged after humanity repopulated. Genes can be tricky that way.

[@stryker5573]

@@williamforsythe5850 This is probably the case. Genesis states that Noah was righteous, which is why he was selected to carry out God's purpose and build the Ark. However, the genes of the Anakim could have been present in his wife or his sons wives, which is likely why the sons of Anak are present in Canaan years after the flood. I've sometimes speculated that one of the reasons God instituted the flood, other than the fact almost every human on earth had rejected God, was that nature had been corrupted to the point it needed to be wiped out. If fallen angles were the actual nephilim and bred with humans at some point, it is also likely they were created other genetically modified abominations, like Minotaurs and other hybrid animals from many mythologies like Greek & Egyptian etc. Who knows what actually was happening pre-flood times. It could have been crazy, and if people were actually living 800-900 years things could have gotten absolutely nuts in soo many ways.

[@markshuler8163]

A different interpretation I’ve come to lean towards: The Nephilim was a group name like Romans or Egyptians. Something we miss many times in wanting to interpret everything literal in the Bible is, like other speech, there are tons of metaphors that weren’t intended literally. Consider, Nephilim, a group that were “giants among men” (aka great warriors but I also think there was a great stature indicated. Sons of God in Job do appear to reference son heavenly council but it’s two books from two different times in cultural history. Phrases can mean different things depending on the literary and cultural context. There’s only two, maybe three references to this story. One is the Book of Enoch. This is where most of the ideas come from. It is an extra biblical book, not accepted as God’s Word, it’s like Pilgrims Progress. The NT writers do reference but I reference Pilgrims progress-great principles but not the Bible. Next reference, the 10 spies were awful eyewitnesses who were exaggerating the height. So you’re going to base the understanding of this passage off poor eyewitness testimony and extra-biblical source material, both are unreliable. The reference in Jude depends on how you put the punctuation (I don’t know enough Greek to research this) but the note to sexual misconduct may only be be a an added note about Sodom and Gomorrah. The primary note of fallen angels is they stepped out of their position of authority which is a reference to another event. So the interpretation of fallen angels having a race of giants through sex is based on bad testimony, non-biblical source material, and a questionable New Testament obscure verse. So conider, the Nephilim were “Sons of the gods” a title given to kings in ancient times, they were taking lots of wives, abusing people, etc. This answers a lot of problems with the other interpretation, like after the Great Flood you have giants again. Giants being abnormally-large humans. Note we still have giants (abnormally tall humans) today that if they were trained as warriors from birth like Goliath would be terrifying on the battlefield, especially when the average human height in ancient times was much shorter than today. There’s uncertainty in exactly how long a cubit was, depending on how you want to set a cubit Goliath was anywhere from 8’ to like 12-13’. Some people miss that some measurements of giants in the Bible if you want to go to extremes would make them 24’ tall. After a point there’s a limit in the physical laws God put in place in creation that limits how tall a person can get. If you want to accept that evil can miraculously create something that defies the physical laws God wove into creation…perhaps…but you’re arguing that demons and evil is more powerful than God. But, In the end, while this is a fun discussion, we have to keep in mind that it isn’t essential to faith or salvation. There isn’t enough information given and whatever you want to think you have to make some leaps of assumptions, not actual facts because we don’t have them. Too many times as Christians we get in this Us vs Them mindset of the Works of the Flesh and James’ Wisdom from Below, and insist my group is right without considering other viewpoints and not realize how much assumption and half truth we’re relying on. Reason why I love discussing this stuff but it isn’t essential. If the Bible says it I do believe it’s true and will be proven true but there’s some interpretations that aren’t clear exactly what was going on.

[@princeamoakwa4057]

Profound look at the subject. So the spies may have used the Gen 6 Nephilim legend to describe the great size/stature or status of the people of the land. Perhaps an exaggeration out of fear, used in cautioning their fellows to abandon the capture of Canaan. I mean, the original Nephilim could just mean a group of tall and brutal people who bullied other tribes and nations with the advantage of their size and war experience. It is difficult to fathom how spirits can marry and father demigods via women. I can imagine God placing a baby in Mary's womb - He is almighty and creator - but is it not a stretch with spirits below him?

Thank you very much brother for this video, God bless you. Let's look at other points in the Bible:1. If we literally translate verse 4 from chapter 6 - “In those days there were fallen ones on the earth (nephilim)..." we are already told that the fallen angels were already on earth, from which it can be explained how there are different creatures in all cultures - centaurs, ours, etc. 2. Genealogy of Adam. It is said that Adam was created in the image and likeness of God, and his descendants began to be born in the image and likeness of Adam, but since man sinned and therefore man is also a fallen being. 3. Cain's line ends at the seventh descendant; nowhere is it mentioned that the Cainites and Sethites intersected with each other, and even more so if God's command was to fill the Earth, then why is it from a human union Giants began to be born with man, and moreover, why did this become inconvenient for God? 4. It is important to note that even after the Flood, various idols appear that do not have bodies that are invisible... Are these not the same descendants of the Rephaim and Anakim, who in the days of the Flood were deprived of their flesh and have now become invisible spirits to whom heaven is barred5. It is written that we will judge the angels, but if there are faithful angels who did not sin, then how did those who rebelled against God fall? 6. Remember the exorcism and images in Revelation where fallen spirits can inhabit people and even cause harm, but only with the permission of God. God didn't plan them to be the creatures He wanted created, they are determined to still be on Earth, along with Satan, and those angels are imprisoned in darkness for the great judgment 6. There are quite a few moments in the history of mankind where the “gods” taught humanity various arts and even more, they all came out of water!

I think to know the answer to the question of nephlim would also mean you’ve learned whatever hitler thought he knew about angelic bloodlines.

But though genesis says what it says about the angels in that account, who’s to say they did not do it before as well?

You touched on all the theories. Good job! However, let's be clear. Angels DO NOT procreate. They aren't humans (animals, higher or lower either). In those days, through biblical research of course, it has been found that the descendants of Seth had a very vitalized gene and grew to be huge and strong "men of renown". These descendants were often referred to as sons of God (...son of Adam who is also the son of God). They were the ones who saw that 'THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN' were beautiful and decided to take them for themselves and went in unto them (had s3x with them). Of course what happens when you combine the revitalized genes of the sons of Seth with those of the daughters of men who did not follow God? Men who 'looked like' the sons of God of course. This should actually not be far fetched if only we could come to terms with the fact that ANGELS DO NOT PROCREATE. And 'oh they fell, so they are humans now and can therefore procreate'...NO! Not at all. Fallen ANGELS are demons and still CANNOT PROCREATE. God bless us all and fill us with the Holy spirit daily. Amen.

You're implying that Sethites didn't have super genetically empowered daughters they could take to perpetuate their superior race.

So God recreated the earth and for the first time added a being who had His image(human) But kept them in a seperate place(the garden). But this nephilim, creatures and fallen angels were in other places of the new earth. So Adam and eve were casted from the garden and made to live along side these beings. More reasons why after cain killed Abel, and God placed a mark on Cain, He said nobody should harm cain, who was God referring to if not these being already in the earth, cause Adam and Eve other children wouldn’t have been the ones God was referring to.

[@AndyZach]

Thanks for admitting the answer isn't clear. We tend to get dogmatic when we shouldn't. For myself, a Christian of 52 years and a student of the Bible, I'm pretty sure they're a mutation of humanity. "Sons of God" in the passage may mean 'men' or 'angels'. The literal meaning is 'mighty ones'. Hebrew is notoriously ambiguous and metaphorical in its definitions. Here's the whole passage: When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with[a] humans forever, for they are mortal[b]; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. 5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created-and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground-for I regret that I have made them.” Ignoring 'sons of God', what do we see? We see 'humans' mentioned eleven times. The whole passage is about the sins of humanity and God's decision to punish them. If these are fallen angels, they are already punished. If they sinned again with human women, why aren't they punished more? God is not unjust. He doesn't let the guilty go free. It's more likely these are mighty men from Adam's line who fell in the flood. Men sinned and were punished in the flood. Perhaps the giantism arose from a mutation from their sin. My clinching verse is one citation of 'son of man' you didn't mention: Psalm 8:What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit[c] him? 5 For You have made him a little lower than [d]the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. Here man is contrasted with angels and is called a little lower, yet to be crowned with glory and honor. Here 'son of man' is clearly a man. Now this is also a reference to Jesus Christ, who was also born as a man, not as an angel. This is why I think the Nephilim are not descended from angels. Plus Jesus's comment that angels don't marry. I know He says 'angels in heaven' but he's comparing glorified Christians to righteous angels, not to fallen demons.

Genetic mutations are never beneficial. People with gigantism due to a gland overworking end up with horrible pain as their bodies begin to fall apart pretty early in life. Hard to say what they were but even today we can see there are men over 6 feet tall and over 200 pounds of muscle. If you, as a 5 foot tall Hebrew who weighed only close to 100 lbs witnessed an entire tribe of men like the former, you would be terrified of them. Granted the reports were unreliable.

[@stryker5573]

Agreed, law of entropy and all that. However, we have demonstrated that intention genetic modification can be beneficial. Look up Belgium Blue Cows etc. A lot of people interpret the nephilim as breeding with humans, but if they had simply conveyed knowledge to humans on how to selectively breed genes or genetically modify themselves somehow it would not have been necessary for the nephilim to actually have sex with humans. I think it is likely pre-flood peoples committed all types of abominations, including corrupting creatures and God's creation, which is in part why God would have cleansed the world. With 800-900 year lifespans, humans had all kinds of time to experiment with breeding and pass along first hand knowledge etc. I think it is likely pre-flood activity is responsible for being the origination of many civilization's myths about hybrid animals like Minotaurs.

Fun fact: Goliath was from Gath. Gath is one of the few locations where the Anakim avoided the Israelite conquest. "There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the people of Israel.

[@shimshonbendan8730]

What is missed here is Genesis 3:15. God said he would enmity between the "seed of the woman" and the "seed of the Nachash". Seed in Hebrew is "Zerah". It means sperm. We know the Seed of the woman is a reference to Yeshua who will come to take back the authority the devil took from Adam. What is often forgotten that the devil has always wanted to be worshiped. After Genesis 3, we see in Genesis 6:3 that the B'nai Elohim "took" wives from the human men. They cohabited with them. This created a parallel race of beings to the human race. We see that the Flood of Noah came because their Nephilim beings had completely taken over the entire world save for Noah and his wife and their three sons and wives. After the Nephilim were wiped out, the devil's plan was stopped. However, Genesis 6:4 it says there were Nephilim in those days and "after". The word for after in Hebrew is "acharit" Generally, acharit refers to the Last Days, something Yeshua mentioned in Matthew 24 regarding the days of Noah and the return of our Messiah. Genesis 6:9 mentions that Noah was "perfect in his generation". It does not say he was a perfect man. It says generation, or Toldot in Hebrew. That means his DNA was untainted by the incursion of the Fallen Angels and the Nephilim. Christians miss the white elephant in the room when Yeshua was asked a question by the Sadducees about whose husband would be for the woman who had 7 husbands. He noted that in Heaven, we are like the angels. What is forgotten is that in Heaven, there is no need for reproduction by humans, but on earth, it is how we perpetuate life. We cannot compare Heaven and earth when talking about abilities of either angels or people. The Bible also said there will be no need to eat or drink, but we do need to eat and drink on earth. Remember, the devil is the god of this world according to Yeshua and Rav Sha'ul-Paul. This is his domain as is the second heaven. ! Peter 3:19-20, II Peter 2:4-9 and Jude 6,7 all reference the Fallen Angels who sinned and are in chains of darkness awaiting judgement. They are receiving a special punishment for leaving their estate and defiling themselves with women. One more verse that is interesting is in I Corinthians 11:10. Paul says that a woman should have a covering over her head "because of the angels". Because of the angels? Women cover their heads because of angels? Apparently, Paul understood that human women can be attractive to angels, especially to the evil ones cast down to earth with the devil. This is a direct reference to Genesis 6:3.

Heres an interpretation most haven't considered or heard. Because we can't verify who or what they are [nephilim] I thought this was interesting. Nephiilim are men. they are also old and reknown as it's written. Moses wrote genesis and lived to 120. 900 yr old men could be considered reknown by moses for the ages they reached. They [nephilim] could be Adam and offspring through to Noah and descendants afterward. The men of giant ages. There is no heights given r/e to nephilim so it is a guess how tall they were. The ages on te other hand s well documented. Goliath was either 6 cubits and a span 9/10 ft tall KJV or 4 cubits and a span 6/7 ft tall Septuagint and dead sea scrolls. Regardless we can't verify Goliaths true height.

[@kriegjaeger]

King Og of Bushan 's bed was seized and transported to a place to remain as a demonstration of his size. Bed was 12 feet by 6 feet. So a person sleeping comfortably on it might be fewer than 9 feet tall. Not outrageous but to the Hebrews who were around 5 feet tall and mostly skin and bones, some guy who looks like "The mountain" from game of thrones yes, absolutely is a giant.

[@DarrylSteele69]

@@kriegjaeger Correct, his bed was 12/13 ft long by 6 ft wide. That is huge and he may of been a 9/10 ft tall person, I understand why people think that, me once being one of them, but there is no writings of his actual height to verify this, so an assumption is required to make him 9/10 ft tall. At that height you start getting into the square cube law and the problems associated with that. A bed that size for a king of those days may simply and possibly of been a status symbol. I'm not sure if that can be verified, but does sound plausible. Even Goliath has 2 different heights written of him. Kjv 6 cubits and a span. 9/10 ft. Septuagint 4 cubits and a span 7/8 ft. The only height that seems confirmed and consistent biblically is the Egyptian at 5 cubits 7.5 ft . 1 Chronicles 11:23

@@DarrylSteele69 As for the possibility of status symbol, I think it should be possible to compare to beds of contemporaries or something near it.

I don't know about you but I can't fathom crawling across an apartment sized room every morning to get out of bed. But there are other plausible explanations as well.

[@DarrylSteele69]

@@kriegjaeger As far as crawling across a bed, here's an eg of one of today''s beds. “The Family Bed XL” 84” x 144” x 13" makes this 12 foot wide 144” x 13" . Take you half an hour to get to the edge. I did a quick search the largest beds in history. The largest bed in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records was made by Commissie Zomerfeesten St Gregorius Hertme (NL) in Hertme. It measured 86 foot 11 inches long and 53 foot 11 inches wide. As you can see we can't use a bed to signify one's humanistic size. You do however make a good point of comparing beds by contemporaries of king Og. Another thing I came across was king's Og's bed description in Hebrew ['eres] may also mean sarcophagus. The largest Egyptian sarcophagus found apparently was 4 meters (13 feet) long. The only difference between this and King Og's sarcophagus [if that's what it was] was what it was made of.

[@kriegjaeger]

@@DarrylSteele69 Fair point! The only counterpoint I can think of in comparing contemporaries to ancient is the sheer amount of labor required to make such a bed or theoretically the bed-frame out of iron of that size in the timeframe. This was around the beginning of the bronze age, while the Iron age was some centuries later. Iron tools weren't common, let alone a bed [Frame] that size (or Sarcophagus) made entirely of iron. Contemporarily of course we can slap together a bed in hours. Even an iron one. In the Bronze age a massive iron bed? It seems not only impractical but too base a metal for ornamentation. But at any rate, we can only guess. Though conventional wisdom remains that there are currently very very large people and pretty small people. A tribe of nomads subsisting on Mana would indeed feel like giants compared to 6 foot Strongmen double their weight and half again their width.

Very easily solved. There was no separate race known as nephilim. The term 'Sons of God' refers to the people on earth who were faithful to Him. So the descendants of Seth, and kept His commandments and worshipped Him. The other people of the world were the descendants of Cain who abandoned God and were not faithful. So the descendants of Seth saw that the daughters of Cain were pretty, and through marriage lost their loyalty to God and worshipped false gods. That's how everyone turned out bad enough to need a flood to destroy the world. Angels don't have the capacity for reproduction at all, so demons (fallen angels that followed Satan's rebellion) can't either. The giant size of people can be explained through genetic vitality, which is still present today (think of a Liger, for example).

I was SO bothered by this question. It’s answered by language actually. Geneses 6:4 “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.” The Hebrew word “when” is מתי (mah-tie) but in this instance it’s another word that means (whenever the event or act occurred). This means that whenever the sons of God went into the daughters of men, there were born to them Nephalim. Before the flood, it was an infestation. Afterwards, there were still occurrences of this great sin until the sons of God were no longer sinning in this manner lest they join their buddies chained in gloomy darkness (2Peter 2:4). It was not one occurrence that the angels did this, but many. Most before the flood, but some after. Before the flood, there may have been a risk of humanity becoming tainted with angel blood which would mess up the prophesy of a seed of Eve crushing the head of the snake in Genesis 3:15. That last part is a theory, and not an idea stated in the Bible.

[@theAntichristHunter]

5:42, you say there is a problem with the theory of the Nephilim being descendants of fallen angels, but the answer to the question of where the later descendants of Nephilim come from was in the verse from Genesis which you quoted. You read the words yourself: "and also afterwards", as in after the flood. What was also after the flood? "when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them." This phenomenon does not appear to have stopped. If we are living in the last days, remember that Jesus said that the coming of the son of man will be like the days of Noah. He highlighted one aspect of those days, but if he meant the coming of the sons of man would be like the days of Noah more generally, note that in the days of Noah, the "sons of god" mated with human women and had the Nephilim as their offspring. Do we see anything like that today? I propose to you that the phenomenon of people reporting to have been abducted by aliens and seeing alien-human hybrids is exactly this, that "aliens" are fallen angels manifesting in physical form to do this. This idea of human-alien hybrids is not a unique story; so many people seem to have experienced sexual abuse at the hands of "aliens" that something has to be going on. Theologically speaking, why might the fallen angels have tried to mate with humans in Genesis 6? The first Messianic prophecy foretold that the seed of the woman would crush the seed of the serpent, in Genesis 3. Satan's pattern of behavior has been that he seems to try to maneuver God to try to block God's promises. God foretold that the seed of the woman would crush the seed of the serpent, so the Serpent tried to contaminate the human gene pool. If the Nephilim were to intermarry with humans, within a handful of generations, there might not be any human that wasn't also the offspring of these fallen angels. For that reason, God wiped them out with the flood, and also commanded their extermination after the flood in times where they encountered Joshua and the Israelites. The remanant of the Anakim settled in Gath (Joshua 11:22). Later, who emerges from Gath? Goliath the giant. These details all suggest that they were indeed giants. BTW, if you want to see some archaeological evidence suggestive of giants, Expedition Bible has a great video on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp24e6uEe96FeK8

Regarding your invitation to bible scholars of which entity they were....... Here's why the theory that Moses was contrasting doesn't work - It is not true to the grammer. "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days" is an opening summary statement to be explained in the following lines, not a standalone fact. Its like me saying "There was gas in the cars in those days, WHEN the gas attendants dispensed gas from their machines." Those are not 2 separate, unrelated facts. The second part is an explanation of how the first is possible. Its the same writing type here. "WHEN the sons of God came....." is the explanation of the opening thesis. Regarding "and also after those days..." The "days" referred to is the flood. The flood destroyed the Nephilim, but even after the flood, it happened again. I think Nimrod and Babel is a decent amount of proof that humanity had the help of fallen angels even after the flood. It could easily reasoned that the help was strictly demonic, but the existence of physical giants throughout Israel's conquest proves otherwise. This time, however, God solved the problem with a human army, rather than a natural disaster. Once Jonathan killed the last of the giants, there came a period of peace for Solomon and every war from that point forward was Israel's doing, not God's mission. Anyway, the "days" means the days before and after the flood, not the days before after Adam. Great video!
