MEssEs. EpIToRs 81 should be pleased to be
informed by yourselves or some of your Bib.i-
cal readers, as to who arc the sons of Cod aud
the daughters of men, mentioned in Genesis
VIZ.
In answer to the above, we would say that
this verse, with others of somewhat similar
tenor, has given rise to much speculation; but
the generally received opinion Of those who
believe the book of Genesis to be correct his
torical statement, and not beautifully poetic
allegory, is, that Cain-whcn he, 800 years
after the creation, B. G.. 3648-became, on ac-
count OF his fratricide, a fugitive and a vag-
abond," went into the land of Nod and be-
came the father of large and populous race
With these. the descendants of Adam held no
intercourse for long time, until at the period
spoken of in the text. These descendants of
Cain were the sons and daughters of men.
The term sons of God, is used in a figu-
rative sense by different writer's, to express,
first, the children OF the Antediluvian Patri-
archs, who were created and sustained by God
Second, the Patriarchs and their descendants,
post-diluvian, aud embracing the nation who
were the peculiar recipients of the great moral
law, and from whom was TO spring the King
used to express the relation we sustain to God,
when we return from sin to holiness.
In Deuteronomy xrv-3, (, we find, g Ye are
the children of God, belonging to the second
class and the expression of St. Paul, "We
are made the children for sons) of God, and
joint heirs with Christ" refers to the third
The queSioner undoubtedly refers to the first
The historical facts stated in connection with
the verse spoken FLY the Biblical Chronology
happened about 1850 years after the Creation,
1900 years after the crime of Cain, and 2347.
Is. e., and about loo years anterior to tie
Flood This in its Chronology differs materi-
ally from Deucalion's Flood of the ancients,
but they are generally supposed to refer to the
same event. owing to the extreme old ara n
which many attained, and the rapidity of their
increase, 1t is supposed that the TtAen knounl
earth then teemed with countless millions ~
human beings, almost amounting to the num-
hers who now lnhabit 1t; but the Sons of God
had become corrupted; that nation he had set
apart as his own peculiar people, wandered af-
ter Strange Gods; they took to themselves
wives of the Daughters of Men," who led them
into idolatry-and in the language Of Scrip-
ture, God "repented that he had made man. y
so great had their wickedness become, until At
last feeling that vengeance was necessary to
purify the Earth, He said, Ny Spirit shall not
always strive with man, and allotted him
one hundred and twenty years, to prepare for
the Flood--the end Of all msn-sayc Noah and
