The Nephilim (Genesis 6:1–4)

Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church Season 5 Episode 25

When interpreters go astray in interpreting Genesis 6:1–2, they also go astray in identifying the people that Moses calls “the Nephilim.” In this episode, we explore who the Nephilim were and see how they continue to be a cautionary example to us.
