The first of the mighty men of old. Original Nephilim

[EloyCraft]

I'm just throwing this out there for consideration or discussion. I think it fits.


Gen 4

18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.

19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.

24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

So you think the daughters of men are of the line of Cain?

I do. I don't accept that angels and humans produced offspring.

Me either.
There was an excellent thread about this @ a month ago. I can't remember the name of it, though.

I think the 'mighty men of old' were famous for their violence and strength. Vengeful men willing to murder if wronged.

Their legendary fame became mythic. They are remembered as the Nephilim in the language and symbols that communicate myth.

I forgot to mention that introducing Lamech as the origin of the Nephilim is new. I think.
