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 />
