GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
PROF. M. M. NINAN
This is not part of the scripture but the
understanding or explanation of Jewish
Rabbi.
At any rate at least some of Jewish tradition
object to the Sethic line as sons of God.
The major problem in this argument of Sons
of God as Sethic line and Sons of Man as
Cainites is the fact we have corroboration to
the identity of Sethic line Noah having
married the Cainite Naamah. Hence we
should expect the whole mankind has got the
Nephillim gene. God has not killed all those
violators and on the other hand chose one to
continue the human line and to fill the earth
with them!!
Genesis 5 gives us the genealogy of Seth
which ends with Noah and Genesis 4 gives
us the genealogy of Cain which ends with a woman named Naamah.
The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair and took them as wives (Genesis 6:2), and
Noah was one of these “sons of God” and the “daughter of man” that Noah took for a wife was named
Naamah from the line of Cain, Daughter of Lamech through his wife Zillah and the sister of Tubal Cain.
Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was
Zillah. And Adah bore Jabal . . . his brother’s name was Jubal . . . And as for Zillah, she also bore
Tubal-Cain . . . and the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah. (Genesis 4:19–22)
The early Jewish midrash Genesis Rabba (23.3) identifies this Naamah (the daughter of Lamech and
sister of Tubal-cain) as the wife of Noah (see Rashi's commentary on Genesis 4:22). It is also found
in the controversial book of Jasher. 11th-century Jewish commentator Rashi in his commentary on
Genesis 4:22. also confirms this. Rabbi Abba bar Kahanah said: Na'amah was the wife of Noah, and
why was she called Na'amah (pleasant one)? Since her deeds were pleasing , and our rabbis said:
