Sons of God

Sons of God (Heb: bənê hāʼĕlōhîm, בני האלהים) is a phrase used in the Hebrew Bible and apocrypha. When applied to men, the phrase refers to the righteous who become conscious of God's fatherhood to his creation. The phrase is also used in Kaballah where Bene elohim are part of different Jewish angelic hierarchies.

Hebrew Bible

In the Hebrew Bible, the phrase "sons of the Elohim" occurs in:

  • Gen 6:2 bənê hāʼĕlōhîm (בְנֵי־הָֽאֱלֹהִים) the sons of Elohim. https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/gen/6/2/t_conc_6004

  • Job 38:7 bənê ĕlōhîm (בְּנֵי אֱלֹהִֽים) without the definite article - sons of godly beings. https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/job/38/7/t_conc_474007
  • Psalm 29:1 bənê ēlîm (בְּנֵי אֵלִים) without the definite article - sons of elim.

    • Deuteronomy 32:8 also mentions "sons of Israel" bÿney yisra'el (בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל), which is translated as the "people of Israel" in the HCSB, "heavenly court" in the New Living Translation, and "heavenly assembly" in the New English Translation. In some copies of Deuteronomy, the Dead Sea Scrolls refer to the sons of God rather than the sons of Israel, probably in reference to angels. The Septuagint reads similarly.

    SONS OF

    by: Judy Collins

    Sons of the sea, sons of the saint,
    Who is the child with no complaint;
    Sons of the great or sons unknown
    All were children like your own.
    The same sweet smiles, the same sad tears,
    The cries at night, the nightmare fears,
    Sons of the great, sons unknown,
    All were children like your own.
    Sons of tycoons, or sons from the farms
    All of the children ran from your arms.
    Through fields of gold, through fields of ruin,
    All of the children vanished too soon.
    In towering waves, in walls of flesh,
    Amid dying birds trembling with death,
    Sons of tycoons, sons from the farms,
    All of the children ran from your arms.
    Sons of your sons, sons passing by,
    Children were lost in lullaby.
    Sons of true love, sons of regret,
    All of your sons you can never forget.
    Some build the roads, some wrote the poems,
    Some went to war, some never came home.
    Sons of your sons, sons passing by,
