2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.
As people multiplied on earth, a mysterious group called the “sons of God” began choosing and marrying human women. This verse has sparked a lot of debate. Some say the “sons of God” were from the Godly line of Seth. Others believe they were angels—possibly fallen ones—or powerful rulers who claimed to be divine. Regardless of who they were, their actions, combined with growing human wickedness, triggered God’s decision to cleanse the earth through the flood.
This verse shows how acting on unchecked desires, without considering God’s will, leads to disaster. When we make decisions—especially about relationships—based only on what looks good or feels good, we risk stepping outside God’s boundaries. This serves as a warning to stay spiritually grounded in our choices.
