The Sons of God in Genesis 6:2-4


One of the most puzzling passages in the Bible is Genesis 6:2-4.  It mentions the “sons of God” (the sons of Elohim) who took wives from the “daughters of man.” This happened just before the Flood of Noah.  Many sensational videos have been made recently to explain this strange event and the mysterious giants (the Nephilim) mentioned in these same verses.  But what do we actually know about these “sons of Elohim”? And what can we learn about them from other passages in the Bible?
