The Sons of God and “Giants” or “Rephaim” - Genesis Chapter Six - CCS by Robert Govett and published by Classics Publishing.
Who were these “sons of God?” Commentators in general reply, the children of the race of Seth, who were eminently holy.
And who were the “daughters of men?”
They answer again, the apostate race of Cain.
But who told them that the race of Cain was apostate, and the race of Seth holy?
It is mere hypothesis, to get rid of a difficulty.
Have we any ground from Scripture for believing that children of a pious father must be pious, much more that a whole race should be so?
Or have we any warrant from the sacred oracles for believing that the children of an ungodly parent must needs be all wicked, much more an entire race?
These are just some of the questions which Robert Govett seeks to answer in this booklet.
