The first chapter of B'reshit, or Genesis, written on an egg, in the Jerusalem museum
Text · Hebrew · St Petersburg

Genesis 1-11 (incl. 6:1-4 Nephilim)

Genesis 6:4 says there were giants on earth when the sons of God took human wives.

Final redaction c.6th-5th c. BCE (Persian period); sources debated

Why would a text so careful about one God keep a story about sons of God at all?
