However, the Book of Giants also portrays the Nephilim as destructive and morally corrupt beings. Their reign on Earth is described as a time of great chaos, violence, and lawlessness. The Nephilim, along with their human allies, oppressed and enslaved humanity, causing widespread suffering and distress.
The book also introduces the very known legendary character Noah, who plays a prominent role in other ancient Jewish texts, such as the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. The narrative of the Book of Giants ties in with the biblical flood story; in which the wickedness of the Nephilim and other nefarious entities led God to cleanse the Earth, leaving Noah as the beacon of hope for humanity.
