Drawnel, Henryk2024-10-182024-10-182013The Biblical Annals, 2013, T. 3, nr 1, s. 47-66.2083-22222451-2168https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/22112In 1 En. 8:1 one of the fallen Watchers, Asael, teaches humanity about the elaboration of metals, precious stones, and the use of minerals and dyes. In order to understand the reasons for the presentation of his professional skills, it seems necessary to analyze the cultural background of that Enochic tradition in the context of the Late Babylonian temple, with its large and skilled workforce used for the upkeep of cultic, economic and military activities. The Aramaic terminology in 1 En. 6:8 and 8:1 recovered from 4Q201 properly corresponds to what we now know about the functioning of the Babylonian artisans working for, and in cooperation with, the Late Babylonian temple.plCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwa1 EnochBook of WatchersMyth of the Fallen Watchersprofessional skills of AsaelMesopotamian backgroundBabylonian templemythantiquityMesopotamiaancient Mesopotamiaangelsfallen angelsBook of Henoch1 HenochKsięga Czuwającychmit o upadłych aniołachzawodowe umiejętności Asaelakontekst starożytnej Mezopotamiiświątynia babilońskamitAsaelstarożytnośćMezopotamiaMezopotamia starożytnaaniołyanioły upadłeKsięga HenochaArticle
