"Hello, ladies and gentle angels, and welcome to Angel's Corner broadcasting live from Heaven. This is the Lord's messenger, Cherub Gabriel, bringing you news. Well, in today's case, just news.
It appears that the rumors weren't just rumors. Indeed, a few of our brothers—200, to be precise—have taken a liking to mankind and have gone to Earth to live with them against God's will. So, do not be surprised when you don't see your neighbor around again.
They swore an oath, binding themselves by mutual imprecations on a mountain called Hermon on Earth. You might be wondering whose idea this was. It was Angel Semjaza who orchestrated this deed.
Initially, Semjaza wanted to do this alone and said to his brothers, "I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin." But since you know our brothers really love each other, they wouldn't let him go alone.
So they all answered him and said, "Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this deed"
And since 200 angels cannot lead themselves, they divided themselves into groups. These are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaqlel, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel. These are their chiefs of tens.
As I speak, they have taken wives and have begotten offspring of their own. The creatures they bore are straight-up hideous since the two creatures are not meant to be. They bore great giants, whose height is three thousand ells, who consume all the acquisitions of men. When men can no longer sustain them, the giants have turned against them and are devouring mankind.
They have begun to sin against birds, beasts, reptiles, and fish, and even devour one another's flesh and drink the blood. Then the Earth lays accusations against the lawless ones.
They have taught men charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, making them acquainted with plants.
And Azazel has taught men to make swords, knives, shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the Earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, ornaments, the use of antimony, the beautifying of the eyelids, all kinds of costly stones, and all coloring tinctures.
Much godlessness arose, and they are committing fornication, leading astray, and becoming corrupt in all their ways. Semjaza has taught them enchantments and root-cuttings. Armaros taught the resolving of enchantments.
Baraqijal taught astrology, Kokabel the constellations, and Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds. Araqiel taught the signs of the Earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon. As men perish, they cry, and their cry comes up to Heaven.
You might be wondering what the Lord God has to say about this. We still haven't heard anything from Him who sees all things, the Lord God. I'm sure all this might have upset you just like me. This is what we have for you today. This is Angel's Corner. Stay tuned and we'll be back.
