Asael - The Gods of the Bible

First, in plain English

The Watcher who teaches metalwork, weapons and cosmetics, which 1 Enoch treats as one corruption rather than three. He is bound hand and foot and thrown into a hole in the desert to wait for judgment, an image later readers connect to the goat sent into the wilderness on the Day of Atonement.

What the text says

The Watcher who teaches metalwork, weapons, and cosmetics, and is bound hand and foot and thrown into darkness at Dudael. He is often connected to the Azazel of Leviticus 16. In 1 Enoch 10:4-6 the Lord sends Raphael to bind him, cast him into a desert pit at Dudael, and cover him with jagged rocks so he can't see light until the judgment, which is where 1 Enoch moves Azazel from a ritual term for unholy ground to the leader of evil supernatural forces. The link to Leviticus 16 is firmer than a guess. DDD's Azazel article treats 1 Enoch 8:1 (metalworking) and 9:6 (revealing heavenly secrets and enticing to injustice) as the same demonizing path, and Targum Pseudo-Jonathan at Genesis 6 names the two lead fallen angels "Shamhazai and Azael," using the consonants of Leviticus's Azazel.

Second Temple witness

1 Enoch 8:1; 9:6; 10:4-8.

Where scholars disagree

The tie to Azazel. DDD's Azazel article and the Targum's spelling of the name with Azazel's consonants are the case for it. The case against is Leviticus 16 itself, which can be read with Azazel as a ritual term for unholy ground, not a being, and on that reading 1 Enoch is reinterpreting the rite, not explaining it.

Where it appears

1 Enoch 8:1
1 Enoch 9:6
1 Enoch 10:4-8
Leviticus 16:8-10
