Genesis 6:4
“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 6Meaning
The verse preserves ancient terminology and links the episode with figures remembered as mighty men without fully explaining their nature.
Read carefully
Nephilim and mighty men are ancient terms; confident claims about giants, angels, or genetics go beyond what this verse establishes.
Reflection
The text remembers powerful ancient figures without making their mystery the moral center of Genesis 6.
