Did Nephilim Really Help Noah with Building the Ark before the Flood?

[IchbineinBerliner]

We already know the author wrote so many things from his opinion—this is just one of them.

No, the Nephilim are not mentioned in that context in the Bible. The author's embellishments are supposed to add to the popular entertainment value of "Killing Abel." They do, up to a point, for those of us who are willing to take the Bible less literally while reading this book.
A sense of humor is essential here.

The bible clearly talks of only Noah building the ark. Any other inclusion is just an opinion from the author.

Probably just the author taking a bit of creative liberty.

The idea I heard of the Ark taking a hundred years to build fills me with skepticism. Was Noah blessed with long life to fulfil his duty? What about the animals? Considering how many specids exist on Earth, how did he fit two of everything on a boat? There's over a thousand species of just spiders alone. Not big, I know. But it all adds up.

As far as angels and Nephilim go, I enjoy any story involving them. I always found it to be a shame that these divine beings were rarely involved in anything. From what I gathered, the angels were observers and forbidden to intervene in mortal affairs.

When in doubt, search the internet. As always lots of opinions but fascinating to read.

That's author's opinion. There is nothing like that in the Bible. If people were against Noah when he told them about the flood, how could these powerful Giants engage in helping Noah. Definitely they could have thought he was insane too.

According to the bible, Nephilim never helped Noah to build the ark. i think it a fragment of the author's imagination.

I think so too!

[Kelebogile Mbangi]

It's definitely just the author's opinion.

As I know, Noah built his ark to save his family and other animals from the Flood. This is actually mentioned in the Bible. But I have not heard about Nephilim helping something with it.

So, what do you think about Nephilim in this book? Did Nephilim actually do that in the Bible, or is this just the author's opinion?

A lot of bible story adaptations have presented bible stories in realistic ways that make them easily believable and relatable. With or without them, the theme of the stories are still authentic.

As for the Nephilim helping Noah build the ark, it's just a figment of the author's imagination. Other authors have even suggested that the animals helped him. Whatever the case is, the most important point is Noah's obedience to build the ark...

[Leen282]

Interesting question with a lot of interesting answers. I don't know the answer but am fine with either explanation. It makes sense in the book.

[Dee_Robert]

I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain that it's not in the original biblical texts.

No you're not wrong
Its not recorded in the original text

Aye.
I absolutely agree.
No point arguing about the unknowns, the lesson is most important.

Definitely, and if they were feared as I suspect they were; they wouldn't dabble in such trivial matters as that. They'd probably just have a laugh about it.

Yes, He was blessed with long life. He lived very very long.
The measurements of the boat was long and large enough to occupy as many as, according to the Biblical accounts.
