PART 8 - Nimrod and the Legend of the Craft

s

After Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the locus amoenus, the Nachash maintained an active role in his intervention. In the new world outside of the garden, ultimately the curse given to him by God would manifest itself via the Redeemer from the line of Eve. To circumvent this and render the word of God undependable, the ben ’elohiym, or “sons of God” also known as the “Watchers” or “fallen ones” came to earth. They would manipulate the dust creature’s God-formed characteristics so that they would cease to be from the line of the woman and not fully human.

The Bible mentions this in Genesis, chapter 6:

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:4)

The extrabiblical text known as the Book of Enoch written by Enoch, the great grandfather of Noah, gives an account of this incursion:

And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters.

And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: “Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.”

And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: “I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.”

And they all answered him and said: “Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.”  Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.

And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.

And these are the names of their leaders: Samîazâz, their leader, Arâkîba, Râmêêl, Kôkabîêl, Tâmîêl, Râmîêl, Dânêl, Êzêqêêl, Barâqîjâl, Asâêl, Armârôs, Batârêl, Anânêl, Zaqîêl, Samsâpêêl, Satarêl, Tûrêl, Jômjâêl, Sariêl.

These are their chiefs of tens.[i]

The Hebrew meanings for the name “Hermon,” like many others involved with the early actions of the Nachash, are revealing. “Hermon” (Chermown, חֶרְמוֹן) means “a sanctuary” from the root, charam (חָרַם), “to ban, devote, destroy utterly, completely destroy, dedicate for destruction, exterminate, to prohibit, to consecrate, devote, dedicate for destruction, to be devoted, be forfeited, to split, slit, mutilate,  to mutilate, to divide.”

Enoch continues:

And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.[ii]

Apart from the terrible results of the interbreeding between the fallen ones and humans, the Watchers bought men knowledge. Enoch continues, relating the individual names and skills attributed to each:

And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth 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.

Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings,

Armârôs the resolving of enchantments,

Barâqîjâl [taught] astrology,

Kôkabêl the constellations,

Êzêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds,

Araqiêl the signs of the earth,

Shamsiêl the signs of the sun, and

Sariêl the course of the moon.

And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven.[iii]

God sent a flood to end the evil havoc caused by the Watchers, but He allowed for the continued existence of a specific uncorrupted line of humanity, Noah and his family:

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth….

And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. (Genesis 6:13, 17)

Nimrod

According to the book of Genesis, after the Great Flood, Nimrod (“rebellion”) was the king of the “land of two rivers” known as Shinar. He was the son of Cush, who was the son of Ham, who was the son of Noah. 

                                                                                                                                                    

He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. (Genesis 10:9) 

                                                                                                                                                    

The word used for “mighty” in the Hebrew is gibbowr (“strong,” “mighty”). Its intensive form is gabar, which, in addition to “mighty,” means “to act proudly.” Gesenius’ Lexicon adds, “to prevail, to bind up anything broken.” 

                                                                                                                                                    

Additionally the word for “hunter” in the Hebrew adds to the identification of Nimrod’s characteristics. The word used for hunter is tsayid (צוּד), meaning simply “to hunt.” Gesenius adds an interesting contrast: “צוּד…used as a metaphor for snares laid for men.”[iv]
