The order, form, dimensions, and building of the ark. the sons of God This phrase has been the subject of much debate and interpretation. In Hebrew, "sons of God" is "בְּנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים" (bene ha'elohim). Traditionally, conservative Christian perspectives often interpret this as referring to angelic beings, based on the context and similar usage in other parts of the Old Testament, such as Job 1:6. This interpretation suggests a supernatural element, where these beings, created by God, overstepped their boundaries. Theologically, this highlights the theme of rebellion against God's order, a recurring motif in the Bible. saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and they took as wives whomever they chose The Jewish interpreters, who well understood the uses of their own language, are right in the main point that the phrase "sons of the Elohim" conveys no idea of moral goodness or piety. Elohim constantly means mighty ones (Exodus 15:11, marg.). (Comp. Exodus 12:12, marg., Exodus 21:6; Exodus 22:8-9, where it is translated judges; Exodus 22:28, 1Samuel 2:25, where also it is translated judge.) In Job 1:6 the "sons of Elohim" are the nobles, the idea being that of a king who at his durbar gathers his princes round him; and, not unnecessarily to multiply examples, the "sons of the Elim," the other form of the plural, is rightly translated mighty ones in Psalm 29:1. . . .
