bereishit 6:4-5, b'nei ha-elohim lay with the daughters of men... dunno why b'nei would be exclusively male here

it really depends on what retconned continuity we're talking about, like if "Elohim" is "God" then these are angels
-
but if they're still "children of the gods"! well, there's never been a "the gods" where dick moves weren't bog standard
-
i'm sure in the monotheistic continuity we have to posit that the grigori fell through their lust for mortal women or whatever
-
and naturally we decided to call their kids the fallen ones instead of them in that circumstance, like you do
-
tbh you have to jump through so many weird hoops to force monotheism onto this language you're just making it all up as you go
-
the core text is practically Hellenic though: godspawn got busy and that's where the heroes of yore came from kiddo

*clappy emoji thing* monotheism was a retcon
-
it certainly was! the scars of amateurish editing are all over the thing
-
hilariously, singular of elohim, eloah, only survived in torah in poetry; editing would've fucked up the verse
-
if you're thinking that's "loa" with an e on the beginning and an h on the end, you're not wrong
