The divine beings and the beautiful daughters

6 When people began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 some of the heavenly beings saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful; and they took them as wives, whoever they chose. 3 But the Lord said: ‘My spirit shall not abide in people forever, because they are flesh; therefore they will live for only a hundred and twenty years.’ 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and later too) when the heavenly beings lay with the human daughters who had their children. These were the mighty heroes of old, men of renown.
