The Book of Enoch 8.2 · Godlessness spreads📜 Charles 1906, the printed page
The result of the teaching.

And there was [great and] much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways.
The list moves from weapons to adornment. ʾAwqāf are bracelets (Dillmann: armilla, brachiale) and sargʷ is adornment (ornatus, ornamentum). Takʷǝḥlot is the use of kohl, eye paint. Dillmann lists the verb under takʷǝḥla, to paint one’s own eyes with stibium, antimony, and cites this verse. Qarnǝb, the eyelid, is a word Dillmann thinks is built on qarn, “horn”; his Latin is cilia, palpebrae. The stones are kǝbur, precious, and ḫǝruy, chosen; Dillmann’s example for the second is ʾǝbn ḫǝrit, “a chosen stone” (Isaiah 28:16). The dyes are ṭǝmʿat, which Dillmann glosses tinctura and for which he quotes this phrase.
The last words are in Charles’s brackets, and the reader keeps them: tawlāṭa ʿālam, literally “an exchange of the age”. Dillmann’s dictionary reads the phrase here as metallum vel metalla, “metal, metals”. Charles marks it as doubtful.
