One school of thought associates these beings with fallen angels or their offspring. One reason Nephilim is often translated as 'fallen ones' is the relation to the Hebrew word “naphal” (to fall). Even among the most brilliant, there is debate on translating this term.
Scholars and commentators translate the word Nephilim as giants or fallen ones. The word Nephilim is found in the Bible two times, the first is in Genesis 6:1-6 and then again in Numbers 13:33.
Is there a correct answer to who exactly were the Nephilim? Scholars and theologians find this subject fascinating. We know from Genesis 6:4 that Nephilim were the offspring of “ the sons of God” and the “ daughters of men.” When we discuss the details about the Nephilim in Christian circles today, there is always disagreement.
