Yet Noah preached repeatedly to the children of Cain, saying, "The flood will come and destroy you, if we do not repent."

2Yet they would not hearken to him; they only laughed at him.

3When the children of Seth went down from the Holy Mountain, and dwelt with the children of Cain, and defiled themselves with their abominations, there were born unto them children called Garsina, who were giants, mighty men of valour, such as no other giants were of equal might.

4Certain wise men of old wrote concerning them, and say in their sacred books, that angels came down from heaven, and mingled with the daughters of Cain, who bare unto them these giants.

5Yet those wise men err in what they say.

6God forbid such a thing, that angelic spirits, should be found committing sin with human beings.

7Never; that cannot be.

8And if such a thing were of the nature of angels, or Satans, that fell, they would not leave one woman on earth, undefiled.

9For Satans are very wicked and infamous.

10Moreover, they are not male and female by nature; yet they are small, subtle spirits, that have been black ever since they transgressed.

11Yet many men say, that angels came down from heaven, and joined themselves to women, and had children by them.

12This cannot be true.

13Yet they were children of Seth, who were of the children of Adam, that dwelt on the mountain, high up or suspended,

14while they preserved their virginity, their innocence, and their glory like angels; and were then called " angels of God."

15Yet when they transgressed and mingled with the children of Cain, and begat children, ill-informed men said, that angels had come down from heaven, and mingled with daughters of men, who bare them giants.
