The Book of Enoch 6.6 · Two hundred on Mount Hermon📜 Charles 1906, the printed page
The angels come down to earth.
· · ·
And they were two hundred in all, and they came down on Ardis, which is the summit of Mount Hermon; and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn on it and bound themselves by curses to one another.
The verse repeats the words of the proposal almost exactly: they swore, they bound themselves by curses, to one another. What was proposed is done, in the same words.
From here the story cannot be undone. The angels have made a promise to each other that outweighs their place in heaven.
