The Nefilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God's sons came in to men's daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
[Mikhayahu] said, *Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
Again it happened on the day when the God's sons came to present themselves before the LORD, that Hasatan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
The LORD said to Hasatan, *Have you considered my servant Iyov? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.*
He answered, Look, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods.
