The Book of Giants: the Watchers, Nephilim, and the Book of Enoch

Description: < div > < div > < div > < span > The Watchers were a group of Angels tasked with recording the deeds and progress of humankind . These Angels left their heavenly post and came to earth to experience the fleshly realm . One of the first actions of the Fallen Angels was to breed with human women . The offspring of these fallen , rebellious spirits and human females were hybrids , referred to as the Giants , the Nephilim ( meaning " The Fallen Ones "), and the Men of Renown . Among the first seven scrolls discovered in the caves of Qumran at the Dead Sea is a scroll given the name , “ The Book of Giants .” It records this history and is thought to have been based on the Book of Enoch , a pseudepigraphical Jewish work from the 3rd century BCE . The Book of Giants , like the Book of Enoch , concerns itself with the Watchers and their evil offspring . Two main versions of the text exist . The Dead Sea version is written in Aramaic . Another version has been found written in middle Persian , adapted from the Aramaic to fit into the Manichean religion . Both versions will be examined . Following theories speculating that the Book of Giants was once part of the Book of Enoch , we will attempt to place the two texts back together to render the complete story of the Watchers and the Nephilim . We will discover the history and contributions of these ancient scrolls and look carefully at their content and meaning . Throughout the combined texts we will examine all the biblical and apocryphal references and parallels within the text . The result is an in - depth and panoramic view of the Angels , the Watchers , and the Nephilim , and how one of the giants of the Nephilim race may have survived the flood intended to cleanse the Earth of their horror .
