Genesis 6:4
giants—The term in Hebrew implies not so much the idea of great stature as of reckless ferocity, impious and daring characters, who spread devastation and carnage far and wide.
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they atook wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
3 And the Lord said, a“My Spirit shall not bstrive with man forever, cfor he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
4 There were1 giants on the earth in those adays, 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.
5 Then1 the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every aintent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil3 continually.
6 And athe Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and bHe was grieved in His cheart.
7 So the Lord said, “I will adestroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
