Dervived fomr the root Naphal menaing to fall, it's tranlsated falleni Isaiah 14:12. I beleive the word Nephilim actually refer to the Fallen Angels and Gibborim to their offspring. None of the 3 Hebrew words trnalsated Giant actually mean that, there are people in the Bible descirbed as very large, but their all post Flood. The rendering fo the word as Gaint diervies from the Spetuigant rednering, the Septuigant messed allot of things up.--[[User:MithirandirOlorin|MithirandirOlorin]] 02:14, 28 May 2011 (PDT) | Dervived fomr the root Naphal menaing to fall, it's tranlsated falleni Isaiah 14:12.

I don't understand that explanation | |||
'''Genesis 6:4:''' The Neph′i·lim ('''''han·Nephi·lim′''''', “those who cause others to fall down.”) proved to be in the earth in those days, ''and also after that'', when the sons of the [true] God continued to have relations with the daughters of men and they bore sons to them, they were the mighty ones ('''hag·gib·bo·rim′''') who were of old, the men of fame. | |||
The rough word-for-word translation of the text of '''Genesis 6:4:''': | |||
(The Nephilim) (proved to be/they became) (in the earth) (in the days,) (the those) (also/moreover) (after that) (so) (which) (continued to have relations with/came into) (sons) (of the God) (to daughters of) (the men) (they bore) (to them) (they) (the mighty ones) (who) (were of old) (men of) (the fame). | |||
I believe taking into consideration the context of verse 4, one would most likely conclude that the Nephilim were not themselves fallen angelic "sons of God," but were the hybrid offspring resulting from their intercourse with "the daughters of men." | |||
This followed the Greek Septuagint, supplementary information, "suggesting that both the “Nephilim” and “mighty ones” are identical by using the same word gi′gan·tes (giants) to translate both expressions." - Insight on the scriptures, volume two, under nephilim, page 492. | |||
The Hebrew text seems to be drawing the reader's attention to abnormality as well as the ferocity of hybrids offspring. “Nephilim” means “Fellers,” or “those who cause others to fall down.” The Hebrew phrase highlights well their famed violent reputation and supernatural strength. --[[User:Anaccuratesource|Anaccuratesource]] 22:59, 17 July 2011 (PDT) | |||
