And again he Lord spoke to Rufael: “Bind Az4zél hand and foot, and put him in the darkness; make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudaél, and put him there. 5. And lay upon him rough and pointed rocks, and cover him with darkness that he may remain there forever, and cover his ace that he may not see the light! 6. And on the great day of judgment he will be cast into he fire. 7. And heal the earth which the angels have defiled, and announce the healing of he earth that I will heal it, and that not all the sons of men shall be destroyed through the mystery of all the things which the watchers have spoken and have taught their sons. 8. And he whole earth was defiled through the example of the deeds of Az4zél; to him ascribe all the sins.” 9. And God said to Gabriel: “Go against the bastards and those cast off and against the children of fornication, and destroy the children of fornication and the children of the watchers from among men; lead them out, and let them loose that they may destroy each other by murder; for their days shall not be long. 10. And they will all supplicate thee, but their fathers will secure nothing for them, although they expect an everlasting life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years.” 11. And God said to Michael: “Announce to Semjaza and to the others who are with him, who have bound themselves to women, to be destroyed with them in all their contamination. 12. When all their sons shall have slain one another, and they shall have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them under the hills of the earth for seventy generations, till the day of their judgment and of their end, till he last judgment has been passed for all eternity. 13.

Destroy all oppression from the face of the earth, and all wicked deeds shall cease, and the plant of justice and righteousness shall appear, and deeds will become a blessing: justice and righteousness will be planted in joy forever. 17. Then all he just will bend the knee, and they will remain alive till they beget a thousand children, and hey will complete all the days of their youth and their sabbath in peace. 18.

And all the trees of desire will be planted on it, and vines will be planted on it; the vine planted on it will bear fruit in abundance.
