Chapter 88.
LXXXVIII. The Punishment of the Fallen Angels by the Archangels.
1And I saw one of those four who had come forth first, and he seized that first star which had fallen from the heaven, and bound it hand and foot and cast it into an abyss: now that abyss was narrow and deep, and horrible and dark.LXXXVIII- LXXXIX. Closely connected with x. 1-14, but the variations are too many to presuppose it in quite its present form. Azâzêl is the only leader here.Cf. x. 4-8, where Raphael binds Azâzêl. 2And one of them drew a sword, and gave it to those elephants and camels and asses: then they began to smite each other, and the whole earth quaked because of them.In x. 9, 10 Gabriel performs this task. 3And as I was beholding in the vision, lo, one of those four who had come forth stoned (them) from heaven, and gathered and took all the great stars whose privy members were like those of horses, and bound them all hand and foot, and cast them in an abyss of the earth.In x. 12-14 Michael binds and imprisons the Watchers. Semjâzâ is not mentioned here.
