Jewish History: Biblical History: The Sons of G-d and the Daughters of Men:
In Gen. 6:2, who were the "Sons of God" who took wives from thedaughters of men?
The commentators on Gen.Ch.6 differ as to whether the "sons of elohim"
referred to in v.2 were (fallen) angels (e.g., Job 1:6) or members
of the ruling class ("elohim" in the Torah can mean either "god" or
"judge"). The first view would account for the fact that the offspring
of these unions were giants (nephilim; see v.4 and Num. 13:33). The
second view explains why G-d was angry at the human race (v.3) because
of what the "sons of elohim" did.
