Adam is said to be a son of God. This made Adam an elohim with a small 'e.'
The offspring of Adam were sons of the elohim or sons of Adam. They were trying to amalgamate power on earth. God didn't think that was the right thing for them to do.
Gen 6:2 And seeing are sons of the elohim the daughters of the human, that they are good, and taking
are they for themselves wives of all whom they choose.
Genesis 6:1-7 And coming is it that humanity starts to be multitudinous on the surface of the ground,
and daughters are born to them. (2) And seeing are sons of the elohim the daughters of the human,
that they are good, and taking are they for themselves wives of all whom they choose. (3) And saying
is Yahweh Elohim, "Not abide shall My spirit in the human for the eon, in that moreover, he is flesh. And
come shall his days to be a hundred and twenty years. (4) Now the distinguished come to be in the
earth in those days, and, moreover, afterward, coming are those who are sons of the elohim to the
daughters of the human, and they bear for them. They are the masters, who are from the eon, mortals
with the name. (5) And seeing is Yahweh Elohim that much is the evil of humanity in the earth, and
every form of the devices of its heart is but evil all its days. (6) And regretting is Yahweh Elohim that
He made humanity on the earth, and grieving to His heart. (7) And saying is Yahweh Elohim, "Wipe
will I the humanity, which I have created, off the surface of the ground, from human unto beast, and
unto the moving animal, and unto the flyer of the heavens, for I regret that I have made them.
From Unsearchable Riches magazine:
"Note that the first section, Gen.5:1-5, is concerned with Adam and his wife,
personally, their creation,
lifetime, sons and daughters. The corresponding section, Gen.6:1-3, should also be applied to Adam and
his wife and their daughters and sons. The theme here concerns the
subjection of the great
multitude to
which Adam and his wife had increased by the time he was eight hundred and ten years old. Adam
himself, as head of his great family, was the subjector of all. But, when they became too numerous, he
would naturally associate his firstborn sons with him, as his assistants. So they were sons of the elohim,
the subjectors (the Adams). In order to keep this function in the family they married the daughters of
these subjectors. This custom has often been followed in royal houses, in order to perpetuate their
social superiority."
