In addition to the 19 leaders referenced earlier, another, a 20th leaders is mentioned: Azazel. Speaking of him some of the righteous angels say:
“Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were preserved in heaven. And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves and revealed to them all kinds of sin.
And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness.” Book of Enoch 9:1-11
And the Lord said: “Bind Azazel hand and foot and cast him into the darkness…And of the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin…”
Destroy the children of fornication and the children of the Watchers…Go bind Semjaza and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness…In those days shall they be led off to the Abyss of fire and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined forever.” Book of Enoch 10:4-15
These passages from the Book of Enoch further show that the fallen angels of Genesis 6 are indeed locked up in an abyss to await a future judgment. It also tells us that these Watchers from heaven took human women to wife who in turn gave birth to giants. These evil spirit men taught humans the secrets of the occult and the casting of charms. They also introduced the sacrificing and drinking of human blood.
Many other passages in the Book of Enoch provide us with information that is merely alluded to in scripture. It introduces us to the leader of the Nephilim to which is ascribed all sin whose name is given as Azazel. This name crops up in the Bible in Leviticus 16:8,10 and 26 where it is translated “scapegoat.” But Azazel is a proper name and should have been thus translated.
Enoch refers to these fallen angels as “stars,” “spiritual beings” and “Watchers.” The term “watcher” appears in Daniel 4:13, 17 and 23 in the KJV where it is referring to angels, messengers of God who came from heaven to earth. Here is yet another passage from Enoch 28:11ff which parallels truths we have already covered in scripture.
“And I saw a deep abyss…I saw seven stars like great burning mountains and when I enquired regarding them the angel said: “This place is the end of heaven and earth: this has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven…Here shall stand the angels that have connected themselves with women…And the women also of the angels who went astray shall become sirens.
