| 2424 | ENT_ISR_BENE_ELOHIM | member_of | ENT_ISR_WATCHERS | high | The Bene Elohim ("Sons of God") of Genesis 6:1-4 are identified with the Watchers in 1 Enoch's elaboration of the same narrative: the Enochic Book of the Watchers opens (1 Enoch 6:1-2) by retelling Gen 6:1-4 with the Bene Elohim as the Watchers who see and desire human women. The Bene Elohim is thus the Genesis-tradition term for the same collective of divine beings whom the Enochic tradition calls Watchers. This member_of relationship captures that the Bene Elohim collective is a sub-group/variant name within the Watchers entity. Confidence high: the identification is explicit in the Enochic text and in most modern scholarly treatments. | SRC_1_ENOCH | reviewed | PER_ISR_SECOND_TEMPLE |
