“And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters [and sons]. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another, ‘Come, let us choose wives [and husbands] from among the children of men and beget us children.’”
“[And]…the sons [and daughters] of God…took them wives [and husbands] of all which they chose.”
“And of the Angels, [the sons and daughters of God,] a great number of them lusted after the creatures of the earth, and chose mates from them and bore children with them. And from this miscegenation, from this perversion, grotesque beings emerged.”
“And they begat sons [and daughters]…and they were all unalike…[they were] Giants…Nephil, and the Eljo1…”
2
“And these angels, who were the Watchers and the Grigori, and who begat the Giants, the Nephilim, and the Eljo, taught them divine secrets: of working metal and stone, of enchantments, of astrology, of clouds, and of all the signs of the earth, sun, and moon. And the heavens were divided, as angels turned against their kind and against God.”
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against [the chief angel,] the dragon3; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil…which deceiveth the whole world: [s]he was cast out into the earth,and h[er] angels were cast out with h[er].”
“And…an angel [Michael] c[a]me down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit… And he laid hold on the dragon [who was Lucifael and Heylel]…and bound h[er] a thousand years, and cast h[er] into the bottomless pit, and shut h[er] up, and set a seal upon h[er], that [s]he should deceive the nations no more…till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that [s]he must be loosed a little season.”
