PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />

CHAPTER SIX<br />

ELIOUD<br />

Sons of Nephilim<br />

Book of Enoch and Book of Jubilees and <strong>the</strong> Qumran community that produced <strong>the</strong> Dead Sea Scrolls,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Elioud (also called Eljo) are <strong>the</strong> antediluvian children of <strong>the</strong> Nephilim and are considered a<br />

part-angel par hyman hybrid race.<br />

"They comprise three classes:<br />

<strong>the</strong> orig<strong>in</strong>al giants,<br />

who begot <strong>the</strong> Nephilim,<br />

to whom <strong>in</strong> turn, were born <strong>the</strong> Elouid "<br />

(Book of Enoch, vii. 2).<br />

One of giants mentioned <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bible</strong> as a giant at Gath and his children is sometimes alleged to refer<br />

to <strong>the</strong> Elioud is stated as hav<strong>in</strong>g six f<strong>in</strong>gers on each hand and each foot<br />

The Nephilim are def<strong>in</strong>ed as children whose fa<strong>the</strong>r is an angel and whose mo<strong>the</strong>r is a human and <strong>the</strong>y<br />

are <strong>the</strong> "giants" (also known as Gibborim) referred to <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> book of Numbers. But <strong>the</strong>se def<strong>in</strong>itions are<br />

pretty vague <strong>in</strong> that <strong>the</strong>re are references <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> non-canonical books that angels and human women<br />

produce children who are Gibborim, and <strong>the</strong> Nephilim have fa<strong>the</strong>rs who are Gibborim and human<br />

mo<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />

1 Enoch 7:2 and 7:10-11. <strong>the</strong>y are called just angels while <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Aramaic fragments found <strong>in</strong> Qumran<br />

Cave 4 <strong>the</strong>y are called "Watchers". .Watchers are mentioned <strong>in</strong> Daniel 4:13, 17, 23 as <strong>the</strong> Holy Ones.<br />

and Book of Enoch describes <strong>the</strong> fall of <strong>the</strong> Watchers thus identify<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> angels who fell as Watchers:<br />
