| − | The ''Benei Ha'Elohim'' are a group of beings mentioned in passing in the [[Old Testament]] book of {{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=6|verses=4}}. It is unclear what the [[Sons of God]] were, but they are distinguished from the daughters of men. There are at least three schools of thought regarding these beings. In {{Bible ref|book=Job|chap=1|verses=6}} {{Bible ref|book=Job|chap=2|verses=1}}, it states that one day, the "''Sons of God''" (Hebrew "''ben 'elohiym''") came to present themselves before God, with Satan among them. The same phrase, Sons of God, is used in {{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=6|verses=2-4}}, in stating that the Sons of God saw the daughters of men were fair, and that they took themselves wives. Verse 4 then says their children became mighty men of renown. The phrase is also used in {{Bible ref|book=Job|chap=38|verses=4-7}} where it states that when God laid the foundations of the earth, the morning stars (the name 'Lucifer' means "Morningstar" - {{Bible ref|book=Isaiah|chap=14|verses=12}} and Jesus was called the Morning Star - {{Bible ref|book=Revelation|chap=22|verses=16}}) sang together, and all the Sons of God shouted for joy. | + | The ''Benei Ha'Elohim'' are a group of beings mentioned in passing in the [[Old Testament]] book of {{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=6|verses=4}}.
