The Book of Enoch (also known as 1 Enoch), is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition and internal attestation to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah.

"Rain of God") [1] was the 12th Watcher of the 20 leaders of the 200 fallen angels that are mentioned in an ancient work called the Book of Enoch. The name is generally believed to be "valley of God" bathar-el and Babylonian in origin. Michael Knibb [2] lists the translation for this Angel based on the Ethiopic Book of Enoch as "Rain of God".

Several indications suggest that the writers of 3 Enoch were familiar with the content of 1 Enoch (an apocalyptic text dating to the Second Temple period). Some points that appear in 1 Enoch and 3 Enoch are: Enoch ascends to Heaven in a “storm chariot” (3 Enoch 6:1; 7:1) Enoch is transformed into an angel (3 Enoch 9:1–5; 15:1–2)
In later translations, he is one of the 20 leaders of 200 fallen angels, mentioned eighteenth. The name is believed to originate from tuwr "rock" and El "God", meaning "rock of God", while the translation taken from M. A. Knibb's work on the Ethiopic Book of Enoch is either "Mountain of God" or "Rock of God". [1]
