Sons of God (Biblical Hebrew: בְנֵי־הָאֱלֹהִים, romanized: Bənē hāʾĔlōhīm,^[1] literally: "the sons of Elohim"^[2]) is a phrase used in the Tanakh or Old Testament and in Christian Apocrypha. The phrase is also used in Kabbalah where bene elohim are part of different Jewish angelic hierarchies.

"The sons of God saw the Daughters of Men that they were fair" (Maurice Greiffenhagen)

^ Douglas, Tenney & Silva 2011, p. 1384
^ The lexical item in Hebrew: אלהים, romanized: ʼĕlōhîm, means “God” but uses the Hebrew plural morpheme -im. Although ʼĕlōhîm is plural in form, it is understood in the singular sense. Therefore the English translation is "God" rather than "Gods".
