The Nephilim
Who
and What were the Nephilim
The Nephilim ,Biblical Giants , Human/Angel Half
breeds?, Human/Alien Half breeds ?, Fallen Angels, Demons, or all of the above ?
"Nephilim"
is a Hebrew word
whose basic meaning is "those who have fallen." .
Alternate Translations dependant upon the context in which it is used
"those who fall upon," in the sense of invaders or hostile and violent
men, such as in Eziekel 32:20. " They will fall
among those killed by the sword. .... "
The Hebrew word nephel is probably the root word from which
Nephilim is derived- nephel means: "untimely birth, abortion,
miscarriage". Nephilim would therefore be "Unnaturally begotten men" or
bastards from "abortion" or "miscarriage"
"Some ... believe that the expression 'sons of God'
refers to the 'godly line' of Seth, and 'daughters of men' to women from
the line of Cain." - Commentary on the Living Bible
The most noteworthy alternative
opinion regarding the derivative word of Nephilim is that it refers
to a class of Angels descended from Orion. In ancient Aramaic
, the constellation Orion was known as Nephila, Orion's
descendants would then be known as Nephilim [Peake's Commentary on the Bible
]
The subject of the Nephilim is one of the great puzzles of the Bible. The same
general theme is found throughout ancient writings of many peoples and
is not confined exclusively to the Bible.
The Nephilim were apparently a race of impressive physical stature compared to
the smaller Hebrews, from Numbers
13:33. "And there we saw
the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in
our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight." This particular reference is glossed by a statement which
implies that the offspring of Anak in
Canaan were descended from the renowned Rephaim or Nephilim
The Book of Enoch
Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil: Why Church Fathers Suppressed the Book of Enoch and Its Startling Revelations
The origination of the Nephilim begins with
a story of the fallen angels. Originating in the Book of Enoch {Apocrypha}
Shemhazai, an angel of high rank, led a
sect of angels in a descent to earth to instruct humans in
righteousness. {See
Legends of the Jews }
The mission lasted for a few centuries, but soon the
soldiers/missionaries/angels became corrupted in their lusting after human females.
After lusting, the fallen angels
instructed the women in magic and conjuring, mated with them, and
produced offspring, who would later be referred to as the Nephilim.
Enoch was probably as well known to the ancient readers as he is
unknown to modern readers . Genesis says of him only that he
"walked with God," and afterward "he was not, because God had taken him"
(Gen. 5:24). This passage made Enoch an exalted figure of
considerable fascination.

Another work concerned with the fallen Angels
and Enoch ,
It was widely read in ancient
Rome and Greece but only fragments of it, some un-translated exist
today.
The following are some relevant excerpts, even with the large volume
of missing sections we can still extract a basic overall meaning

It is interesting to note that
one the Giants referred to in this work is
Gilgamesh, for any who are familiar with the

Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse
Genesis 6:4The
Nephilim were on the earth in those
days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters
of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of
renown. Numbers 13:22They went up through the Negev and
came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the
descendants of Anak, lived. Numbers 13:28But the
people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and
very large. We even saw descendants of Anak
there. Numbers 13:33
We saw the Nephilim there (the
descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like
grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."
Deuteronomy 1:28Where can we go? Our brothers have made us lose
heart. They say, 'The people are stronger and taller than we are;
the cities are large, with walls up to the sky.
We even saw the Anakites there.' " Deuteronomy 2:10
(The Emites used to live there-a people strong
and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites.
Deuteronomy 2:11
Like the Anakites, they too were considered
Rephaites, but the Moabites called them Emites.
Deuteronomy 2:21They were a people strong and numerous, and
as tall as the Anakites. The LORD
destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and
settled in their place. Deuteronomy 9:2The people are
strong and tall-Anakites! You know about them and have heard it
said: "Who can stand up against the Anakites?"
Joshua 11:21At that time Joshua went
and destroyed the Anakites from the hill country: from
Hebron, Debir and Anab, from all the hill country of Judah, and from
all the hill country of Israel. Joshua totally destroyed them and
their towns. Joshua 11:22No
Anakites were left in Israelite territory; only in Gaza, Gath
and Ashdod did any survive. Joshua 14:12Now give me
this hill country that the LORD promised me that day. You yourself
heard then that the Anakites were there
and their cities were large and fortified, but, the LORD helping me,
I will drive them out just as he said." Joshua 14:15
(Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba after
Arba, who was the greatest man among the
Anakites.) Then the land had rest from war. Joshua
15:13In accordance with the LORD's command to him, Joshua gave
to Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion in Judah-Kiriath Arba, that is,
Hebron. Joshua 15:14From Hebron Caleb drove out the
three Anakites-Sheshai, Ahiman and
Talmai-descendants of Anak.
Joshua 21:11They gave them Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), with
its surrounding pastureland, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba
was the forefather of Anak.) Judges 1:20As Moses
had promised, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove from it
the three sons of Anak.
