Maybe Mosses made a typo, I don't know. But the word sons, as in PLURAL, of God bothers me. What you're take on it?

This is really hard to understand, maybe I can help. The "sons of God" that are portrayed here refer to fallen angels, which had thrown in their lot with Lucifer, who led a revolution against God some time in eternity past in order to spoil the human lineage through which the Messiah would ultimately come, they would seek to corrupt that lineage, and to do so by marrying the Daughters of men, thereby producing a mongrel race so to speak of which at least some of the offspring turned out to be "giants"; at any rate, all who were the result of such a union were tainted, the term "sons of God' in the Old Testament, at least as it is used here, is never used of human beings, but always of angels, whether righteous or fallen [Job 1:6;2:1]; in his short Epistle, Jude mentions these particular "angels". He said that they "kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation" he then said what their sin was, "going after strange flesh." Concerning this, Jude also said that God "has reserved [them] in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day" [Jude, Vss. 6-7]).

It also says sons of God in Job 1:6. We are all spirit sons and daughters of Heavenly parents. Jesus was the first born, and the only one begotten in the flesh.

There are many different takes on it, some think they were angels, some think they were just human men. Read this below but you should continue to research on the web.
