Genesis 6:4
The fallen ones226 have become in the Earth in the Days of Themselves, and also the back of227 upright, which the builders of the Elohim are coming toward built-ones of the Red-one, and they have borne to-themselves, those-ones are the Mighty-Men,228 who are from the eternal on,229 the men of the Name.230
The Fallen Ones have become within the Earth in the Days of Themselves, and also behind the upright one, of whom the builders [sons] of the mighty ones are coming toward the built ones [daughters] of the Man, and they have given birth to themselves, those ones are the Mighty Men, who are from the eternal men of the Name.
Giants were in the earth in these days, and also after that, when the sons of God shall come in to the daughters of man and they shall bring forth to them which are men of old, men of name.
The giants were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bore to them; they were heroes which existed from ancient time, the men of name.
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
Now the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore children to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown.
Footnotes
226 | Strong’s #5303. The Nephilim. The word is derived from the root naphal (Strong’s #5307) which means to fall, lie flat, drop, etc. Examples are Genesis 24:64, “And Rebekah lifteth up her eyes, and seeth He-Laughs, and falls from upon the camel”, and Exodus 21:33, “and there fall into her (a pit) an ox or an ass”, and Proverbs 26:27 literal, “He digging a pit, into her he is falling; he rolling a stone, toward him she is turning back.” The ideas that these would be otherworldly beings that figuratively “fell” from a cosmic abode is a gross stretch of the meaning of naphal. Upright beings who fall from walking to crawling around by carnal instinct, mixing with the world, fits much better. The idea that they are giants is based on Numbers 13:32-33 which says they are “men of stature” while the spies thought of themselves as “grasshoppers.” Consider the language as allegorical. Fallen guys “come in” toward “built-ones” of the (first) Adam who is the coming one and BECOME Great men in the last days who are of the Name? |
227 | Strong’s #310, acharay. the hind part, behind, after part, end. |
228 | Strong’s #1368, gibbor. champion, chief, excel, giant, man, mighty man, one, strong man. |
229 | Strong’s #5769, ha-olam. The horizon, the hidden, the future, etc. Literally horizon. The past is not concealed and thus doesn’t logically fit the word. This is not the same as Strong’s #5703, ad, which means perpetuity. Yahweh is the Rock of Olamim (Future-ones), Isaiah 26:4. The Kingdom is a kingdom of kal-Olamim (whole of future-ones), Psalm 145:13. “From olam to olam, you are el” Psalm 90:2. “future to future” makes more sense than “eternity to eternity”. “Of old” as many translations render it sounds out of place being only the sixth Chapter of Genesis? Technically all the characters in the story are “of old”. |
230 | Hebrew הַשֵּֽׁם. Ha-Shem. The Name. haShem is used in three other places in the Hebrew Scriptures.
