And it's based on biblical.

You know, it has a lot of the same three-letter roots.

And, you know, the words are the same.

You know, shalom means from, and shalom means hello.

Modern Hebrew, yeah.

I tell you, I don't know much about, or I don't know much modern Hebrew.

When I was a kid, I went to Hebrew school and learned modern Hebrew, but it's really, without speaking it, you forget it.

It's mostly in the Hebrew Bible.

You know, it's the story of what led to the flood.

Yeah, the sons of Elohim.

It's a very weird idea.

Well, there's different ways to look at translating B'nai Elohim.

It might be, well, the first word, B'nai, means the sons of.

So it kind of revolves on what's the meaning of Elohim.

So it could be God with a big G. It could be God with a small g. It could be angels.

It could be dignitaries in a government like judges.

Yeah.

So, you know, the less far out kind of interpretation of that phrase or that term is, you know, the sons of the mighty, the sons of the judges, you know, the sons of the renowned people, as opposed to the sons of angels or the sons of God.

I think, well, they're not mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.

They are mentioned in the book of Enoch.
