Nephilim
Literally: "the fallen ones"; exact meaning unsure; possibly: a race of giants, regarded as descendants of divine beings and humans
ExamplesGenesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of mankind, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
Numbers 13:33 “We also saw the Nephilim there (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
