Fallen Angels

Asael (Hebrew: עשהאל, Greek: ‘Ασεάλ) was the 10th Watcher of the 20 leaders of the 200 fallen angels that are mentioned in an ancient work called the Book of Enoch. The name most likely means "creation of God" but scholars aren't certain; many have confused Asael with Azazel but they are 2 different fallen angels with 2 different ranks and their names mean 2 different things. Asael might mean "creation of God" or "made by God" but Azazel means "arrogant towards God". Micheal Knibb[1] lists him as being “God has made”.
