| Summary: | Genesis 6:1-6 has been a subject of debate for centuries, most scholars considering it to be one of the most difficult passages to interpret in the Pentateuch. Genesis 6:1-4 captivates many Bible
readers because of the enigmatic individuality of both the “sons of God” and the Nephilim. Many contemporary theologians pay little attention to the passage because they have the opinion that
the “sons of God” refers to the godly line of Seth. Additional contemporary intellectuals contend that the “sons of God” refers to a royal line. Most of the early church fathers interpreted the sons
of God to be angels, probably because of certain manuscripts of the Septuagint. Thus, the subject matter here is the identity of the sons of God.
