Genesis 6:3

"God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives."

Key Reflection

This verse describes how some of God's divine beings, or angels, were attracted to human women and took them as mates, a narrative often seen as problematic due to the potential for hybrid offspring with unique characteristics that could disrupt divine order. This event sets the stage for the corruption of humanity described in subsequent verses, leading to the great flood.
