I was consideringNephilim giants were not normal humans.
They were the product of the sons of God and the daughters of men.
The giants in the promised land were an example of this.
Many believe Goliath was from the Nephilim line.
There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:33

Romans 5:12-14
12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—
13for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
Verse 12 death (physical and spiritual) spread to all men. (and nature)
Verse 13 Sin was not imputed to those before the law was given because there was no law for them to know to follow.
[Could these be the prisoners spoken of to whom Jesus preached to release them from prison after His death? Since there was no LAW, and yet still experienced physical death and spiritual death....perhaps the gospel had to be preached to them? BEFORE they could be judged??]
Verse 14 But their physical bodies died anyway even if they had not sinned in the manner that Adam did...IOW by DISOBEYING God.
