The Sons of Elohim in Deuteronomy and Genesis 5
In Deuteronomy and in Genesis, these hyperlinks are really strong between the inhabitants of the land and the set of rebel figures from Genesis 1 through 11. This infusion of spiritual evil and humanity together is manifesting in giant warriors. And that is precisely how Israel's conquest of the land is presented as a human flood of divine judgment on the snakey giant inhabitants of theLand. So this raises all kinds of alarms for me and I have all kinds of problems with that. But what I'm trying to do is the discipline and biblical scholarship and biblical studies is before I react to the Bible,. I at least want to first understand what it's saying on its own terms.
