Genesis 6:2-4

2 The divine beings saw how beautiful these human women were, so they married the ones they chose. 3 The Lord said, “My breath[a] will not remain in humans forever, because they are flesh. They will live one hundred twenty years.” 4 In those days, giants[b] lived on the earth and also afterward, when divine beings and human daughters had sexual relations and gave birth to children. These were the ancient heroes, famous men.
