Gen. 6:2 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Gen. 6:1      Gen. 6:3

Genesis 6:2

the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful. They took wives for themselves as they pleased.
[Who were the "sons of God"? The phrase is only used here in Gen. 6:2, 4 and in Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7. In the Book of Job, it refers to angelic beings. The contrast with the human race supports this interpretation. In that case, these fallen angels took human form or possessed humans and had children who were called giants, see verse 4. Another view is that "the sons of God" are the descendants of Seth, while "the daughters of men" were the descendants of Cain. See also Jesus' teaching about angels in Matt. 22:30.]
