1 Enoch 7:1-5"<strong>the</strong>y took wives unto <strong>the</strong>mselves, <strong>and</strong> everyone (respectively) chose one<br />

woman for himself, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>y began to go unto <strong>the</strong>m. And <strong>the</strong>y taught <strong>the</strong>m magical medicine,<br />

incantations, <strong>the</strong> cutting of roots, <strong>and</strong> taught <strong>the</strong>m (about) plants. And <strong>the</strong> women became<br />

pregnant <strong>and</strong> gave birth to great giants whose heights were three hundred cubits. These (giants)<br />

consumed <strong>the</strong> produce of <strong>all</strong> <strong>the</strong> people until <strong>the</strong> people detested feeding <strong>the</strong>m. So <strong>the</strong><br />

giants turned against (<strong>the</strong> people) in order to eat <strong>the</strong>m."<br />

1 Enoch 15 "But now <strong>the</strong> giants who are born from <strong>the</strong> union of <strong>the</strong> spirits <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> flesh sh<strong>all</strong><br />

be c<strong>all</strong>ed evil spirits upon <strong>the</strong> earth, because <strong>the</strong>ir dwelling sh<strong>all</strong> be upon <strong>the</strong> earth <strong>and</strong> inside<br />

<strong>the</strong> earth. Evil spirits have come out of <strong>the</strong>ir bodies. Because from <strong>the</strong> day that <strong>the</strong>y were<br />

created from <strong>the</strong> holy ones <strong>the</strong>y became <strong>the</strong> Watchers; <strong>the</strong>ir first origin is <strong>the</strong> spiritual foundation<br />

….. They eat no food, nor become thirsty, nor find obstacles. And <strong>the</strong>se spirits sh<strong>all</strong> rise<br />

up against <strong>the</strong> children of <strong>the</strong> people <strong>and</strong> against <strong>the</strong> women, because <strong>the</strong>y have proceeded<br />

forth from <strong>the</strong>m.”<br />
