Mussar sobre Gênesis 28:12

And it was not only in the time of Adam the first man. For we also find the Nephilim on the earth after several generations in the period before the flood. For the sages, may their memory be blessed, say (Bereishit Rabbah 26:7) about them that they called them giants [anakim] because they would wear [aonkim] the sun as a necklace. And why did they call them Nephilim? As they were angels, but because they prosecuted the generation of the flood, they fell [naflu] and came down to earth, so that they were a mix of people and angels. On the one hand, they were on the face of the earth like people; but on the other hand, they had the ability to ascend to heaven. And it is recounted about one of them that he saw a young woman, the name of whom was Istahar: He cast his eyes upon her. He said to her, "Listen to me [to have intercourse]." She said to him, "I will not listen to you until you teach me [God's] explicit name with which you ascend to the firmament when you mention it." He taught her the name, and she mentioned it and [immediately] arose to the firmament. But she did not sully [herself]. The Holy One, blessed be He, said, "Since she separated from sin, go and fix her among these seven stars so that you can always merit through them." (Yalkut Shimoni on Torah 44:1) Behold that there is a power in man, if the secret in the thing is revealed to him, to arise to heaven and to establish his dwelling there, since this is [the way of] his actual creation, as it is said, and his head reaches heaven [alluding to Genesis 28:12]. And, if so, then it is incumbent on each person to see himself as a man of heaven whose place is among the angels. And because of the trait of civility, it is incumbent upon him to always act like the creatures of heaven, which are the angels above, and to act like their actions.
