Chapter 8

1

MOREOVER Aza'zel taught men to make swords, knives, shields, breastplates, the fabrication of mirrors, and the workmanship of bracelets and ornaments, the use of paint, the beautifying of the eyebrows, stones of every valuable and select kind, and all sorts of dyes, so that the world became altered.

2

Impiety increased; fornication multiplied; and they transgressed and corrupted all their ways.

3

Amazarak taught all the sorcerers, and dividers of roots:

4

Armers the solution of sorcery;

5

Barkay'al the observers of the stars,

6

Akiybe'el signs;

7

Tamiy'el taught astronomy;

8

And Asarad'el taught the motion of the moon,

9

And men, being destroyed, cried out; and their voice reached to heaven.
