  Nephilim | English | Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
In the Torah and several non-canonical Jewish and early Christian writings, nephilim (Hebrew, הנּפלים, those causing others to fall) are a people created by the crossbreeding of the sons of God (b'nei elohim, בני האלהים) and the "daughters of men".
The word nephilim is loosely translated as giants or titans in some translations of the Bible, and is left as nephilim in others:When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive.
Nephilim (Hebrew) [from naphal to fall] Giants (cf Genesis 4:4); any being, entity, or thing which falls from a higher to a lower estate, whether in the spirit, the astral, or the physical world.

 Nephilim - Indopedia, the Indological knowledgebase
Despite the literal text of the Bible, the idea that heavenly beings mated with humans is controversial, particularly among Christians, who cite the teaching of Jesus in the Book of Matthew that angels do not marry in the afterlife.
Many Christians and others who find the idea of angels mating with humans as distasteful have suggested more figurative interpretations of the nephilim, such as the idea that they were the offspring of men possessed of demons, or of aliens.
There are two clear Biblical references to the Nephilim, one in the Book of Genesis 6:1-4 as the offspring of "the sons of God" and "the daughters of men", and the other in the Book of Numbers 13:33 as inhabitants of the land of Canaan.

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Nephi and his family, consisting of his father, Lehi, his mother, Sariah, and his brothers, Laman, Lemuel, and Sam, lived in Jerusalem circa 600 BC, during the reign of King Zedekiah.

The name "Nephi" also appears in the Apocrypha, in 2 Maccabees 1:36 "And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is as much as to say, a cleansing: but many men call it Nephi." In this context it refers to naphtha.

Cain is also thought to have fathered the Biblical races of giants and monsters-the so-called children of Cain.
This tradition has no basis in the Bible itself, which portrays Cain's descendants as ordinary human beings and states that the "Nephilim" (giants) were born of the union of the "sons of God" (generally interpreted as fallen angels) with the daughters of men.
The story of Cain and Abel is also told in the Qur'an (5:27-32), where Cain is not named; however, in Islamic tradition he is called Qabil, while Abel is called Habil.
