wrote a note on Exodus 34:14 NASB

Sons of God are first mentioned in Genesis where they are said to have looked upon the daughters of men and having found them beautiful took wives of them. Genesis 6:2 further in the text we see that the sons of God had children with the daughters of men and it seems to indicate that their offspring were notable for their size and strength. v.4.

I had a new and interesting thought about Cain and Abel related to this passage, it occurred to me that they, Cain and Abel could have been twins the way it is worded. Not that it is especially important but what do you guys think? … Expand
