With the Nephilim who were the progeny of the “Sons of God” who mated with human women. They were purported to be large in stature.

It’s interesting because there was a flood when, presumably, all were killed except for Noah’s family. Later, when Joshua fought multiple wars for Moses, he met the Nephilim.

Numbers 13:33 “And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” Anak was considered to be descended from the Nephilim.

If Noah and his family were the only survivors of the flood and the Nephilim were later encountered, that seems to mean that either Noah was Nephilim or the “Sons of God” came down again after the flood and mated with human women. I emailed Focus on the Family and asked them that, if that was true, were the “Sons of God” still coming down and mating with our women? They blocked me. 😀
