Who Were the Sons of God in Genesis 6? Enoch, Watchers, and Nephilim Explained | Sam Shamoun

What were the “sons of God” in Genesis 6—and were they really angels, watchers, or something else? In this powerful teaching, Sam Shamoun examines the ancient Jewish understanding of Genesis 6, the Book of Enoch, the Book of Watchers, Jude, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Mount Hermon, the Nephilim, and the Genesis Apocryphon to argue that the sons of God were fallen angelic beings who rebelled against God. Sam Shamoun explains why the oldest extant Jewish interpretation of Genesis 6 points to the sons of God as angels, not merely the line of Seth. He walks through 1 Enoch, especially the Book of Watchers, showing how ancient Jewish sources describe the watchers descending, taking wives, producing the Nephilim, and corrupting mankind. Sam Shamoun also highlights that Jude quotes 1 Enoch and uses that quotation in a way that connects directly to the Lord’s judgment. The discussion also explores Mount Hermon, the possible connection between the watchers and the transfiguration setting, the Genesis Apocryphon’s interpretation of Noah’s genealogy, and the idea that God preserved an uncontaminated human line leading to Jesus Christ. Sam Shamoun argues that Genesis 6 is not a side issue, but part of a larger biblical theme involving spiritual warfare, the seed of the woman, the corruption of humanity, and God’s sovereign plan of redemption.
