Chapter VI Summary
The children of men grew in number. They had beautiful daughters. Angels from heaven saw them. They wanted to marry them. They wanted to have children with them. Semjaza led the angels. He worried about the sin. He thought he might pay for it alone. The angels agreed to do it together. They swore an oath. They made a promise to each other. Two hundred angels came to Earth. They landed on Mount Hermon. They named it after their oath. Semiazaz led them. Other leaders were there too. Their names were Arakiba, Rameel, Kokabiel, and more.
In those days, when the human population had grown, they had beautiful and attractive daughters.
2The angels, who were the children of heaven, saw the women and desired them. They said to each other, "Let's go down and choose wives from among the human women, and have children with them."
3Semjaza, their leader, said, "I'm afraid you won't all agree to do this, and I'll be the only one punished for this terrible sin."
4They all agreed and said, "Let's all make a solemn promise and hold each other accountable. We won't give up on this plan, but we'll make it happen."
5They all swore an oath and made a pact with each other to do this.
6Two hundred of them came down in the time of Jared to the top of Mount Hermon. They named it Mount Hermon because they swore an oath and made promises to each other there.
