And it came to pass...

when the children of men had multiplied...

that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely [bevallige] daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.'

And Samjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations [vervloeking] not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.

And they were in all two hundred...

who descended ⌈in the days⌉ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon...

and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.

And these are the names of their leaders:

1 Samjaza, their leader
2 Arakiel [geomancy]
3 Rameel
4 Kokabiel [astrology]
5 Tamiel
6 Ramiel
7 Daniel
8 Chazaqiel [meteorology]
9 Baraqiel
10 Azazel
11 Armaros
12 Batariel
13 Ananiel
14 Zaqiel
15 Shamsiel
16 Sathariel
17 Turiel
18 Yomiel
19 Sariel

These are their chiefs of tens.
