they are the off spring of girls got who raped by demons before noah.(The demons later get chained up in hell who did it)
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
in greek the word for nephilim means (creatures(not aliens) from above) not sons of god..which are demons that when they sinned they were forced to the earth
Numbers 13:33
We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
they were giants
if you are reading the bible for the first time read john…genesis is intresting and all but if you are reading it for the first time its hard to get much out of it….john is very easily understood and its very good book to read first because it is very indeath

Nephilim were the sons of God who came to earth to teach and took human women as wives. And it is spelled Genesis.
A fictional race of giant humans.
I believe the Nephilim we’re some sort of celestial race, like angels and demons. I can’t say for sure, not really being a worshiper myself.
I believe the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse we’re often represented as Nephilim.
However, I can’t really give you a 100% strait answer, as I don’t really know. :p
Nephilim refers to a race of giants. In the story of David and Goliath, for example, Goliath was a Nephilim.
It is said they were a race of people that came from fallen angels and demons.
Glad you are reading the Bible, do research along with it though to understand the culture and times. Strongs dictionary helps understand the translations from Hebrew and Greek language to English. Bible Probe is a good resource too.
Nephilum means “fallen ones” in the Hebrew manuscripts. In Genesis 6, evil angels left heaven in an attempt to destroy the seed line of Adam and Eve (which was supposed to produce Messiah Jesus Christ). Thes fallen angels impregnated the daughters of Adam. The result ? Giants were born on earth. The giants were hybrid beings who were huge. God destroyed the giants and those families (all but Noah’s) who had intermixed with the angels. Noah’s family was perfect in its generations (offspring) since they did not intermix with the fallen angels. Christ eventually proceeded from Noah’s geneology. Without Noah and the flood, Christ would not have had a pure seed to be born through. Also, a second influx of fallen angels came again to earth after the flood. This is where Goliath came from. God ordered Israel to destroy the giant nations (s/a the Cananites) by warfare after the 2nd influx. Sadly, Israel failed and the giant freaks of nature dispersed thier genes into just about every race under the sun.
