In addition, the Bible does not tell what the number of the Sons of the Lord God was and how many they were? In short, the Bible does not let us know who, how, when, where, how many etc. in respect to the Sons of the Lord God.

The LORD sits enthroned over the flood.

The original Hebrew version says: ascribe to the LORD "O sons of God".

In Islam, this point is very important faith wise.

In a very simple word, Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner. Again, it is unforgivable sin to say or to believe that the One Almighty Creator [who is Allah or God or the Lord or Jehovah or whatever name(s) you are giving Him] has a son or Sons.
