Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days--- and also afterward--- when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
This is one of the mysteries in the Bible. "Nephilim" elsewhere in the Pentateuch refers to the great men who were in the land of Canaan at the time of the Exodus (Numbers 13:32-33). "Nephilim" appears to refer to the giant men of antiquity. Some Bible scholars think the Nephilim existed in the pre-Adamite era. Here "the sons of God" probably refer to the fallen angels.
