sights and all things Thou seest^ and nothing can hide itself
from Thee. 6. Thou seesfc what Azazel hath done, \Aho hath
taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal
secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were
striving to learn : 7. And Semjaza, to whom Thou hast
given authority to bear rule over his associates. 8. 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. 9. And the women have borne
giantsj and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood
and unrighteousness. 10. And now, behold, the souls of those
who have died are crying and making their suit to the gates of
heaven, and their lamentations have ascended :
= 'all power'. And nothing can
hide itself from Thee. 6. Thou
seest. Lost in G^ through hmt. 6.
Kevealed the eternal secrets which
were . . . learn. So G e^ with the cor-
rection of (yvaaav into yvaivai (of. G'
ciS(Vai) ; for it is untranslatable as it
' stands. E ia very corrupt : the eternal
secrets which are wrought in the
heaven mankind knows ' {q). But
G*" show that 'SUa jetgabaru should be
emended into 'ella jetg^barA (= &
imTt]Stvovatv) and transposed after
the heaven'. Next 'a'Smara (j) = (

(yvoi) should be emended into 'a'Smro
= '^ywvai or flShai. Thus E agrees
with G* when eyvaaav in the latter is
corrected as above suggested. G' =
' revealed to the world the things that
are (preserved) in heaven. And the
children of men are practising his
(Azazel's) practices in order to know
the mysteries'. 7. (And.) Supplied
from G^. 8, 9. Cf. Justin, Apol. ii.
