"sons of God"
Genesis 6:2-4 (J)
Psalms 82:6, 88:7
According to the Documentary Hypothesis, Genesis 6 is part of the "J" source composed into its present form under David & Solomon (R.E.Friedman, Who Wrote the Bible?)
So all of the references plausibly derive from Davidic & Solomonic "Wisdom" writings (Job is considered Wisdom writing, describing the "way of Wisdom")
In all cases, "sons of God" refers to divine beings, part of God's Divine Council (M. Heiser)
Prima facie, reference to divine-human couplings producing men of renown resembles the story of Alexander the Great, whose mother claimed Zeus came to her in her pregnancy
the fallen "sons of God" were the Watchers, who imparted esoteric occult knowledge to (some) people (M. Heiser, Reversing Hermon)
fallen beings elevating chosen contactees with occult "knowledge" echoes the nachash serpent in Eden advocating the "knowledge" of good & evil to Eve & Adam
also resembles the Greek myth of Prometheus, who gave humanity knowledge of "fire" & technology and was punished by higher beings for so doing (Prometheus ~ nachash ?)
so, there exists a tradition of fallen spirit beings imparting contactees with occult knowledge, from the first use of stone tools & fire in deep prehistory, Eden, pre-Flood, post-Flood
