Regardless of the answers to these questions, we would assume that all of the Nephilim alive at the time of Noah perished in the flood. However, Genesis 6:4 also seems to indicate that the Nephilim reappeared after the flood: they were “on the earth in those days—and also afterward”—that is, after the flood.
The Nephilim are known as great warriors and biblical giants (see Ezekiel 32:27 and Numbers 13:33). It was once claimed that the mating of the sons of god and the daughters of Adam that resulted in the Nephilim caused the flood, and this caused the Nephilim to have a negative reputation.
A soon-to-be-released docu-series will present a rare and researched look at one of the most perplexing Biblical topics: Nephilim (giants).
The report of the spies shows they knew what the Nephilim were and that the Nephilim were very large people, even “giants.” Moses told Israel to conquer Canaan and not to be afraid of the Nephilim.
Scholars have debated the Nephilim for ages. Did they really exist? Are they still around today? Scripture may not say much about them, but the events mentioning them are some of Biblical history’s most pivotal moments....
Nephilim. The Fall of the Rebel Angels by Hieronymus Bosch, based on Genesis 6:1–4. The Nephilim (/ ˈnɛfɪˌlɪm /; Hebrew: נְפִילִים Nəfīlīm) are mysterious beings or people in the Bible traditionally imagined as being of great size and strength, or alternatively beings of great power and authority.

The Nephilim in the Bible were superhuman giants born from unions between divine beings and mortal women, known as "the fallen ones." The Book of Enoch expands on the Nephilim story, introducing rebellious angels called the Watchers who bring monstrous giants into the world.
Misconception: The Nephilim are still alive on earth today. Fact: Jehovah caused a global flood to destroy that violent ancient world. The Nephilim were wiped out along with all wicked people.
The first and most transparent explanation is that divine beings came to earth, assumed human flesh, cohabited with human women, and spawned unusual offspring known as Nephilim. Naturally, this view requires seeing the giant clans encountered in the conquest as physical descendants of the Nephilim (Num. 13:32–33).
Nephilim, in the Hebrew Bible, a group of mysterious beings or people of unusually large size and strength who lived before and after the Flood. The Nephilim are mentioned in Genesis and in Numbers and are possibly referred to in Ezekiel.
