Genesis 6:2 in Context — Genesis 6
1 Lorsque les hommes eurent commencé à se multiplier sur la face de la terre, et que des filles leur furent nées,
2 les fils de Dieu virent que les filles des hommes étaient belles, et ils en prirent pour femmes parmi toutes celles qu’ils choisirent.
3 Alors l’Éternel dit: Mon esprit ne restera pas à toujours dans l’homme, car l’homme n’est que chair, et ses jours seront de cent vingt ans.
4 Les géants étaient sur la terre en ces temps-là, après que les fils de Dieu furent venus vers les filles des hommes, et qu’elles leur eurent donné des enfants: ce sont ces héros qui furent fameux dans l’antiquité.
