Genesis 6:1-5

¹Now when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them,

²the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.

³So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”

⁴The Nephilim were on the earth in those days — and afterward as well — when the sons of God had relations with the daughters of men. And they bore them children who became the mighty men of old, men of renown.

⁵Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time.
