The English form of the word is hannepilim.
The English word is Nephilim.
All the concordance does it give a human opinion as to the extra biblical word inserted instead of "giants".
This is not true. The Hebrew word is הַנְּפִלִ֞ים its English word is Nephilim....הַנְּפִלִ֞ים means giants or killer giants.
I do not mind exchanging ideas on this and word study is just fun. But......
Genesis 6:1 Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4
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.
The giants were already there and the offspring of the sons of God were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
But there is not enough information in the Bible to debate the impregnation of the women by the sons of God. That is one of the reasons that there is more than one opinion on what these scriptures are talking about. Because there is not much information people adlib and speculate....even biblical commentaries.
If you want to look into it and remain in the Bible you can read about the Nephilim and later the Rephaim and Anakim and get more information on these giants as they moved through history. These giants were huge hideous humanoid creatures that were the enemy of the Hebrews and others. The Bible is not the only source that tells of them. Goliath type stories appear outside the Bible and archeological evidence discovered recently backs up the David and Goliath story.
These giants had other run’ins with other cultures, but that information and there connection to the offspring of the sons of God is all outside the Bible. But I am not going to get into it here because this is a Bible only format, so people would not believe what I would tell them and I would catch heat over it and it is not worth it for me.
Now you can go study this on your own….LOL….but it is going to cost you time, money, and travel. And keep in mind that during that time period of Genesis the height of men were between 5 feet and 5 and a half feet. So anything between 6 foot 5 inches and 8 feet ~ or above could be considered a giant. There have been several archeological discoveries and they
do not have the DNA of Neanderthals or modern man. They call this race the Denisovans. There are videos on the web about discovering the graves of these giants and one of them came from right here in the Ozarks about 60 miles from me.
So as I said, we can exchange information, but we are not going to be able to site enough bibleical information to prove anything. The explaination is outside of the Bible.
