The ''[[Sefer Raziel HaMalakh]]'' (''Book of Raziel the Angel'') is a book of magic containing all secret magic purported to have been given to Adam by Raziel, who learned the information by standing close to [[Yahweh|God]]'s throne, hearing and writing down everything. He gave the book to Adam and Eve after they ate from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil so the two could find their way back "home" and better understand their God. Raziel's fellow angels were deeply disturbed by this, and thus stole the book from Adam and threw it into the ocean. God Himself decided not to punish Raziel, but instead retrieved the book by means of the Rahab and returned it to Adam and Eve. | The ''[[Sefer Raziel HaMalakh]]'' (''Book of Raziel the Angel'') is a book of magic containing all secret magic purported to have been given to Adam by Raziel, who learned the information by standing close to [[Yahweh|God]]'s throne, hearing and writing down everything.

According to some sources, the book was passed on through the generations to Enoch (In 3 Enoch believed to have later become the angel [[Metatron]]), who may have incorporated his own writings into the tome. From Enoch, the [[Archangel Raphael]] gave it to Noah, who used the wisdom within to build Noah's Ark. The book, as given to Noah, was inscribed on sapphire plates. | According to some sources, the book was passed on through the generations to Enoch (In 3 Enoch believed to have later become the angel [[Metatron]]), who may have incorporated his own writings into the tome.
