Come, let us reason of Enoch of old
#19
Leviticus 16:

And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house.

7 And he shall take the two goats, and set them before Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting.

8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for Jehovah, and the other lot for Azazel.

9 And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for Jehovah, and offer him for a sin-offering.

10 But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive before Jehovah, to make atonement for him, to send him away for Azazel into the wilderness.

Most Bible translations cover up Azazel with "scapegoat", but some versions, like this American standard version, got it right. Who is Azazel? Why, he's...he's....the wicked angel mentioned in the book of Enoch who was bound and tied up in darkness until the day of judgement before he is cast into fire. He's the angel who.....

And Azazel taught men to make swords and knives and shields and breastplates; and made known to them the metals [of the earth] and the art of working them; and bracelets and ornaments; and the use of antimony and the beautifying of the eyelids; and all kinds of costly stones and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray and became corrupt in all their ways" Enoch 8:1-3

And more....

"'Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all
unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets
which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were striving to
learn: And Semjaza, to whom Thou hast given authority to
bear rule over his associates. 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 sins. And the women have borne giants, and the
whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and
unrighteousness.'" (Enoch 9:6b-10a)



So what did God command in response?

"And again the Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azazel hand and
foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in
the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And
place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with
darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his
face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great
judgement he shall be cast into the fire. And heal the earth
which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of
the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the
children of men may not perish through all the secret things
that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons.
And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works
that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin.'"
(Enoch 10:4-9)

Allright, I think Ive preached this enough, but now that you know even LEVITICUS mentions Azazel...*shrugs*
