Let me start by saying that I have not had a chance to read this entire thread yet, I hope to have the time to tomorrow. That said all that we know for certain of the Nephelim is found in Ba'reshiyth chapter 6 Originally Posted by: Ba' 1Indeed (kiy), it came to pass (hayah) that mankind (‘adam) defiled and profaned (halal - treated with contempt and desecrated, dishonored, polluted, wounded, and invalidated) the face (paneh) of the earth (‘adamah - land, ground, and soil). And increasingly (rabab - a great quantity of) daughters (bat - female offspring) were born (yalad) to them. 2The sons (ben - male descendants and children) of the Mighty One (‘elohym - God) saw (ra’ah - viewed and found) that the daughters (bat - female children) of men (‘adam) were really (kiy) beautiful (towb - attractive and good, pleasurable and fun, even productive). So now they (henah) took (laqah - grasped hold of, received, and obtained) any (kol) of them they chose and desired (bahar - preferred and selected) as their women and wives (nasiym - plural of ‘issah).
3Yahowah said (‘amar - promised), „My Spirit (ruwach - a feminine noun depicting the power, influence, and life-giving nature of God) will not (lo’) remain in, or contend and plead with (duwn ba - abide, dwell, and live in, direct or vindicate) mankind (‘adam) for an unlimited duration of time (‘olam - forever). Also as a result of (sa gam) him being flesh (basar - existing as a human), his days shall be 120 years.‟
4The Naphylym (naphylym - plural of naphal, meaning those who prostrate themselves, who have fallen away, who are oppressed, cast down, and die) existed (hayah) in the (ba ha) land (‘erets - region) in that day (yowm - time), and also (gam) afterward (‘ahar - at a later time). And indeed, relationally (‘asher) the sons of God came to and pursued (bow’ - were included in association with) the daughters of man, and they bore children to them. These men (enowsh - mortal human beings) were renowned for (shem - named and famous for, earned a reputation for) magnifying themselves, going off to war, and behaving like arrogant tyrants (gibowr - acting like audacious and aggressive fighters as well as powerful despots) from the very beginning (‘olam - and for a very long time, everlasting). 5Yahowah saw (ra’ah - viewed, recognized, and considered) that indeed (kiy - truly), the evil intent, wickedness, and depravity (ra’at - deprivation, distress, and misfortune) of mankind (‘adam) in the (ba ha) land (‘erets) was great in magnitude and quantity (rab - prolific and abundant). And his every (kol) inclination (yeser - motivation, desire, ambition, and creative idea) of his heart (leb) and thoughts(mahasabah - plans, plots, purposes, and schemes) were bad (ra’ - evil, wicked, immoral, repugnant, miserable, sad, troubled, and fiercely harmful) all (kol) the time (yowm - every day).
