The Hebrew does not say "married."
That is what some uptight blushing translator rendered it to mean.
The Hebrew means they took passionately to themselves woman they chose after having evaluated them. The word "marry" does not appear in the Hebrew. Nor does the word "wives." The Hebrew word 'ishah' simply means "woman." Apparently, aesthetic, prudish translators chose "married" to convey that sex was going on. What went on would be rated X in a movie today. God put it on record in Scripture because it happened that way.
That's right it doesn't say married.

Occurrences of Elohim that don't mean God:
• Genesis 23:6
(Green
Hear us, my lord. You are a [
not translated ] prince among us...
(KJV
Hear us, my lord: thou art a
mighty prince among us.
• Exodus 4:16
God explains to Moses that his brother Aaron will be a mouth to him, while Moses will be an
elohim to Aaron. No construction with "god" or "God" for
elohim stays true to context or Biblical theology:
(Green
And he shall speak for you to the people. And it shall be, he shall be a mouth for you, and you shall be
a god for him.
(KJV
And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of
God .
• Exodus 7:1
Same as previous. Some (NAS) translate with "as God," but that's untrue to context and theology.
(Green
And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made you
a god to Pharaoh; and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet.
(KJV
And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee
a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
• Exodus 21:6
This verse is strongly debated. Half of the translations render "God" but that seems difficult logistically. Others read "judges" — as this scene is after the Exodus 18 internal organization of Israel and the installation of a team of judges — either direct or per foot note (NAS). The Statenvertaling even suggests that God wants the master to take his slave to "the gods," which is obviously a most peculiar translation.
(Green
his master shall bring him to
God ...
(KJV, Webster
Then his master shall bring him unto
the judges ...
• Exodus 22:9
Same as before, except that Green now translates "God" and NAS "judges," with "God" in a side-note.
(Green
... the case of both of them shall come to
God . Whom
God declares guilty, he shall repay double to his neighbor.
(KJV
the cause of both parties shall come before
the judges ; and whom
the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbor.
• Deuteronomy 10:17, Joshua 22:22 & Psalm 136:2
And what to think of this one: Moses, Joshua and a Psalmist declare the Living God the
elohim of
elohim. If the second occurrence of the word
elohim is to denote un-gods, the real God holds a very precarious, if not forbidden station...
The famous phrase "Lord of lords," may be best understood by our word "Emperor": the regent of many sub-regencies, or "President" over many sovereign State-governments, and certainly suggests God's usage of ruling agencies under or in His government.
(Green
For Jehovah your
God , He is the
God of
gods , and the Lord of lords, ...
(KJV
For the LORD your
God is
God of
gods , and Lord of lords, ...
• Psalm 82:1
(
Elohim stands in the company of
El, in the midst of
elohim he judges.)
(Green
God stands in the assembly of
God ; He judges in the midst of the
gods.
(KJV
God standeth in the congregation of
the mighty ; he judgeth among
the gods.
(NAS
God takes His stand in
His own congregation; He judges in the midst of
the rulers.
• Psalm 82:6
(Green
I have said, You are
gods , and all of you are sons of the Most High.
(KJV
I have said, Ye are
gods ; and all of you are children of the most High.
(NAS
I said, "You are
gods , and all of you are sons of the Most High."
• Psalm 138:1
If this occurrence of
elohim means un-gods, King David is saying something similar to, "Dear wife, I'm singing your praises in front of a bunch of prostitutes." King David is probably pointing at the kings of the earth he mentions in verse 4.
(Green
I will thank You with my whole heart; I will sing praise to You before
the gods.
(KJV
I will praise thee with my whole heart: before
the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
Some occurrences of el not meaning God:
• Ezekiel 31:11
(Green
so I have given him into
the mighty hand of the nations.
(NAS
therefore, I will give it into the hand of
a despot of the nations.
• Ezekiel 32:21
(Green
The
strong of the mighty shall speak to him from the midst of Sheol;...
(NAS
The
strong among the mighty ones...
• Genesis 31:29
(Green
It is in the
power of my hand to do you harm...
(NAS
It is in my
power to do you harm...
• Deuteronomy 28:32;
(Green
And no
power shall be in your hand.
(NAS
But there shall be nothing you can do.
Again, how did fallen angels, created to be messengers of God, who were all only male come to have the "equipment" needed to reproduce with creatures that were not of their kind? Even if such a thing was possible, at creation God said after their kind. Even apes, which evolutionists' say are close to us and we came from them, can not impregnate a woman. Women can not have the offspring of anything other than a human and angels are not human.
"7th chapter of the Book of Enoch specifically references the height of the giants. The translation I have says, “
And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind.”
[3] An ancient ell is roughly a cubit or 18 inches. Therefore, the text actually says that these giants were 4,500 feet tall. Many supporters of the extreme figures argue this is a textual error and the verse should read 300 ells, or 450 feet.
Just to put this in perspective, the Statue of Liberty is 151 feet tall. Even if you include the base, she is only 305 feet tall. To give you an idea of the size we are talking about, if the faces on Mount Rushmore had bodies, they would be 465 feet tall."
OK---so let's say they were 450 ft tall. What size baby would that be? And just what human woman could possibly carry a baby that huge? Even a little person who is having a normal sized baby has it by caesarian and are monitored closely, it is a high risk pregnancy.
According to Guinness Book of World Records, the biggest baby ever born weighed 23 pounds 12 ounces, and was 30 inches long. He was born to Canadian Anna Bates in 1879 . Unfortunately, he died just 11 hours later.
She was 7 ft 11 inches and weighed 330-371 lbs. She died at 42. Both her children died at birth.
You all seriously think this is a human possibility?
