Sons of God

Sons of God (Biblical Hebrew: בְנֵי־הָאֱלֹהִים, romanized: Bənē hāʾĔlōhīm, literally: "the sons of Elohim") or sons of gods, also rendered as divine beings, is a phrase used in the Tanakh or Old Testament and in Christian Apocrypha. The phrase is also used in Kabbalah where bene elohim are part of different Jewish angelic hierarchies. The root for this phrase may have originally referred to a group of supernatural beings ("sons of the gods"), and lesser divinities in Canaanite religions. They would be interpreted as angels or watchers in the later periods of Second Temple Judaism, or instead as god kings, as well as the righteous offspring of Seth by others starting from the 2nd–4th century CE.
