| 1450 | ENT_ISR_AZAZEL | received_as | ENT_GNO_SAMAEL | medium | Samael in Jewish tradition draws substantially from the Azazel archetype: an angelic being who was expelled or degraded from the divine realm and associated with the wilderness/demonic sphere. The Zohar identifies Samael with the serpent of Eden; pseudepigraphical literature (2 Enoch, the Apocalypse of Abraham) conflates Azazel and Samael as names for the same adversarial angel. DDD_BIBLE s.v. "Samael" documents the convergence. The expelled-angel dimension of Samael comes primarily from the Azazel tradition. | SRC_DDD_BIBLE | reviewed | PER_LATE_ANTIQUE |
