Footnotes

1: "the sons of Elim":

This is the name El with a plural ending attached. However, it is not always rendered as a plural; the phrase can mean “sons of a god” or “sons of the mighty.” It is probable, due to context, that this phrase is intended to mean “sons of the mighty, i.e. possessors of might,” and is referring to the angels.
