The Background
Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men (Born to Adam and Eve), that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
Genesis 6:1-2

Sons of God
Septuagint—Greek Version “sons of God” refer to angels.
The Hebrew “sons of God” is, “bene ha Elohim.”
