According to The Expositor's Bible Commentary, "Azazel" is the Hebrew word meaning "scapegoat." This is the only place that the Hebrew word is found in the entire Old Testament. It says that the [[Book of Enoch]] is full of demonology and reference to [[fallen angel]]s. The EBC (Vol 2) suggests that this text uses late Aramaic forms for these names which indicates that The Book of Enoch most likely relies upon the Hebrew Leviticus text rather than the Leviticus text being reliant upon the Book of Enoch. | According to The Expositor's Bible Commentary, "Azazel" is the Hebrew word meaning "scapegoat."

Azazel was responsible for teaching people to make weapons and cosmetics, for which he was cast out of heaven. The Book of Enoch 8:1–3a reads, "And Azazel taught men to make swords and knives and shields and breastplates; and made known to them the metals 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." | Azazel was responsible for teaching people to make weapons and cosmetics, for which he was cast out of heaven.
