1 Enoch 10:4

In 1 translation

1En-Charles

And again the Lord said to Raphael: ‘Bind Azâzêl hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dûdâêl, and cast him therein.vv. 4-8. Raphael's task – to remove Azâzêl and heal the earth.Azâzêl as the chief offender and leader is first punished (in verse. 11, Semjâzâ), by imprisonment now, and finally by fire. He is conceived as chained in the wilderness into which the scape-goat was led. The Jerusalem Targum (Ps. Jonathan) on Leviticus says that the goat was sent to die in a hard and rough place in the wilderness of jagged rocks, i.e. Beth Chadure or Beth Chaduda (Joma, vi. 8). This Beth Chaduda (='Dûdâêl' of this verse) was a definite locality near Jerusalem. Cf. Lev. xvi. 10, 22. O Semjazi in Azâzêlu glej Targ. Ps. Jon. na Gen. vi. 3, kjer se pojavita obe imeni in je naveden mit. Observe that Azâzêl is punished in a place by himself; and also that in the Noah sections this place is in the valleys of the earth, but in the genuine Enoch beyond the earth.
