Blue letter Bible has the Masoretic text spelled out. The Ha is there. If you turn off the vowel points (which would not have been in the original) there is no difference. The Masoretes added vowel points, but my understanding is it is for pronunciation. I took Hebrew too many years ago to recall what the line after the Qamets means. Josephus and others believed they were angels. There are also extra-biblical texts such as Enoch which are older than Jude and it appears Jude quoted from. These I believe have been corrupted and are no Scripture, so my stance is that insofar as what I'm reading fits with Scripture, then I can consider it. But, if it doesn't, throw it out. Scripture first. Scripture always. If I can't make a strong case from Scripture, then I'm not going to be a proponent of any theory. I do not believe the sons of Seth theory is supported by Scripture. I do believe the angelic theory is. You disagree. That is fine. We'll find out in heaven.
