6 HANOCH - ENOCH 6
The fall of angels
6:1
In those days, when the children of man had multiplied, it happened that there
were born unto them handsome and beautiful daughters.
6:2
And the angels, the children of heaven, saw them and desired them; and they said
to one another, “Come, let us choose wives for ourselves from among the
daughters of man and beget us children.”
6:3
And Semyaz, being their leader, said unto them, “I fear that perhaps you will
not consent that this deed should be done, and I alone will become responsible
for this great sin.”
6:4
But they all responded to him, “Let us all swear an oath and bind everyone among
us by a curse not to abandon this suggestion but to do the deed.” Then they all
swore together and bound one another by the curse.
6:5
And they were altogether two hundred; and they descended into 'Ardos, which is
the summit of Hermon.
6:6
And they called the mount Armon, for they swore and bound one another by a
curse.
6:7
And their names are as follows: Semyaz, the leader of Arakeb, Rame'el, Tam'el,
Ram'el, Dan'el, Ezeqel, Baraqyal, As'el, Armaros, Batar'el, Anan'el, Zaqe'el,
Sasomaspwe'el, Kestar'el, Tur’el, Yamayol, and Arazyal.
6:8
These are their chiefs of tens and of all the others with them.

7:1
And they took wives unto themselves, and everyone respectively chose one woman
for himself, and they began to go unto them. And they taught them magical
medicine, incantations, the cutting of roots, and taught them about plants.
7:2
And the women became pregnant and gave birth to great giants whose heights were
three hundred cubits.
7:3
These giants consumed the produce of all the people until the people detested
feeding them.
7:4
So the giants turned against the people in order to eat them.
7:5
And they began to sin against birds, wild beasts, reptiles, and fish. And their
flesh was devoured the one by the other, and they drank blood.
7:6
And then the earth brought an accusation against the oppressors.
