About this episode

This episode explores the mysterious passage of Genesis 6 and the various interpretations of the Nephilim.

Genesis 6 is one of the most mysterious passages in the Bible. While a short passage it has sparked thousands of years of debate of what the Nephilim were. We have a few questions from the passages that have led to so much of this speculation: Who are the sons of God? Who are the Nephilim: Giants, sons of men from the line of Seth, or tyrant kings? The Bible gives just enough information to raise questions, but not enough to answer them cleanly. The answer generally rests upon the interpretation, bias, and speculations, but none with absolute certainty. However, the Bible has a reference to consider.
