1 Enoch 68

And after that my grandfather Enoch gave me the teaching of all the secrets in the book in the Parables which had been given to him, and he put them together for me in the words of the book of the Parables.

After this judgment they shall be astonished and irritated; for it shall be exhibited to the inhabitants of the earth.

And after that my grandfather Enoch gave me the signs of all the secrets in a book, and the Parables which had been given to him, and he compiled them for me in the words of the book of the Parables.

And on that day Michael answered Raphael and said: 'The power of the spirit transports and makes me to tremble because of the severity of the judgement of the secrets, the judgement of the angels: who can endure the severe judgement which has been executed, and before which they melt away?'

Behold the names of those angels. These are their names. The first of them is Samyaza; the second, Arstikapha: the third, Armen; the fourth, Kakabael; the fifth, Turel; the sixth, Rumyel; the seventh, Danyal; the eighth, Kael; the ninth, Barakel; the tenth, Azazel; the eleventh, Armers; the twelfth, Bataryal; the thirteenth, Basasael; the fourteenth, Ananel; the fifteenth, Turyal; the sixteenth, Simapiseel; the seventeenth, Yetarel; the eighteenth, Tumael; the nineteenth, Tarel; the twentieth, Rumel; the twenty-first, Azazyel.

And on that day the holy Michael answered, saying to Rufael : " The power of the spirit forces me and angers me, and on account of the severity of the judgment of the seorets, the judgment over the angels ; who can endure the severity of the judgment which is passed and remains, and before which they melt away ? "

And Michael answered again, and said to Raphael: 'Who is he whose heart is not softened concerning it, and whose reins are not troubled by this word of judgement (that) has gone forth upon them because of those who have thus led them out?'

These are the chiefs of their angels, and the names of the leaders of their hundreds, and the leaders of their fifties, and the leaders of their tens.

And the holy Michael answered again and said to 168 THE BOOK OF ENOCH. Rufael : " Who is he whose heart is not softened concerning it, and whose reins are not shaken by this word ? A judgment has come over them from [i.e. on account of] those whom they have thus led out."

And it came to pass when he stood before the Lord of Spirits, Michael said thus to Raphael: 'I will not take their part under the eye of the Lord; for the Lord of Spirits has been angry with them because they do as if they were the Lord. Therefore all that is hidden shall come upon them for ever and ever; for neither angel nor man shall have his portion (in it), but alone they have received their judgement for ever and ever.'

The name of the first is Yekun: he it was who seduced all the sons of the holy angels; and causing them to descend on earth, led astray the offspring of men.

And it came to pass as he stood before the Lord of the spirits, the holy Michael spoke to Rufael : " And I will not be for them under the eye of the Lord, for the Lord of the spirits is angered at them, because they act as if they were like gods.

The name of the second is Kesabel, who pointed out evil counsel to the sons of the holy angels, and induced them to corrupt their bodies by generating mankind.

Tlierefore judgment which is hidden comes over them, to all eternity ; therefore, neither angel nor man will receive his portion, but they alone will receive their judgment to all eternity."
