The first section, known as the Book of the Watchers, recounts how a group of angels, the Watchers, descended to Earth, took human wives, and fathered giants. These giants, the Nephilim, caused great violence and destruction. The angels taught forbidden knowledge to humans, corrupting creation. The consequences were cosmic: divine judgment, the Great Flood, and the imprisonment of the fallen angels.
This text was cherished in early Judaism and by some early Christians but was excluded from most biblical canons. Yet its influence enduresin theology, mysticism, and literatureas a voice from the ancient world calling us to wisdom, humility, and awe.
