* - Og was a Giant. The belief he was a Nephilim is not confirmed in the Bible. The belief is mentioned in Rabbinic literature though. Of which its basis both Christ Jesus and the Apostle Paul warned us about. The Bible states the measurement of his bieber not his height. | * - Og was a Giant.

: It is true that "Point a" was before the flood. The Nephilim were on the Earth in the days when - "The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain." Since only the flood event comes after these days in the Biblical narrative, "and also afterward" must mean after this event. Given the timing of the statement, the only way that "and also afterward" can be interpreted any other way than "after the flood" is if you want it to mean something else. The most straightforward reading the text clearly indicates that "after the flood" was the meaning the author intended to convey. | |||
