'''Nefilim''' ({{lang-en|Nephilim}}; {{Lang-he|'''נְפִילִים'''}}, {{Strong|ne-fi-lim|05303}}, bentuk tunggal '''נָפִיל''', ''Nafíl'' atau ''Naphil'') adalah orang-orang yang dilahirkan dari hasil perkawinan ketika "anak-anakPara AllahFallen Angel (Malaikat Pembangkang) menghampiri anak-anak perempuan manusia" sebelum terjadinya [[air bah (Nuh)|Air Bah raksasa]] menurut catatan [[Alkitab Ibrani]] (ataudan [[Perjanjian Lama]] di [[Alkitab]] [[Kristen]]) terutama pada [[Kejadian 6#Ayat 4|Kejadian 6:4]]. Nama ini juga digunakan untuk merujuk kepada orang-orang raksasa yang menghuni [[Kanaan]] pada zaman [[Musa]] seperti yang dicatat dalam [[Bilangan 13#Ayat 33|Bilangan 13:33]]. Sebuah kata [[bahasa Ibrani]] yang serupa dengan penandaan [[Niqqud|suara huruf hidup]] yang berbeda dijumpai pada [[Yehezkiel 32#Ayat 27|Yehezkiel 32:27}}]] untuk menyebut prajurit-prajurit [[Filistin]] yang mati.

==Etymology==
The [[Brown-Driver-Briggs]] Lexicon gives the meaning of Nephilim as "[[giant (mythology)|giant]]s".<ref name="Driver Briggs Hebrew Lexicon' p.658">''Brown Driver Briggs Hebrew Lexicon'' p. 658; Strongs H5307</ref> Many suggested interpretations are based on the assumption that the word is a derivative of Hebrew verbal root ''n-ph-l'' "fall". [[Robert Baker Girdlestone]] <ref>Girdlestone R. ''Old Testament Synonyms'' p. 54</ref> argued the word comes from the [[Hiphil]] [[causative]] stem, implying that the Nephilim are to be perceived as "those that cause others to fall down". [[Adam Clarke]] took it as a perfect participle, "fallen", "apostates". Ronald Hendel states that it is a passive form "ones who have fallen", equivalent grammatically to ''paqid'' "one who is appointed" (i.e., overseer), ''asir'', "one who is bound", (i.e., prisoner) etc.<ref>Hendel R. ed.

The nature of the nephilim is complicated by the ambiguity of Genesis 6:4, which leaves it unclear whether they are the "sons of God" or their offspring who are the "mighty men of old, men of renown". Richard Hess in ''The Anchor Bible Dictionary'' takes it to mean that the nephilim are the offspring,<ref>Richard Hess, article "Nephilim" in ''Freedman, David Noel, ed., The Anchor Bible Dictionary'', (New York: Doubleday) 1997, 1992.</ref> as does P.

In Becca Fitzpatrick's quartet book series, ''[[Hush, Hush]]'', the Nephilim are offsprings of fallen angels and humans. According to the information in the books, the Nephilim can be made to swear fealty to a fallen angel, during the Jewish month of Cheshvan, the only month that does not have any holidays or special [[mitzvot]]. The Nephilim would then become the vassal of the fallen angel to which it swore fealty, thus allowing the fallen angel to possess it during the month of Cheshvan.
