Jomjael

Also called Jômjâêl, Yomiel

His entire biography as a Watcher is one act: binding himself by the oath on Hermon in 1 Enoch alongside the other chiefs. Yomiel is what the name becomes once the diacritics are dropped, and it is no better attested than the original.

Identity

Where does the name come from?

Where it was actually worshipped

None. The Watchers are names in a list in 1 Enoch, most of them appearing exactly once; nothing was ever built for any of them, and Mount Hermon is where they are said to have come down rather than anywhere they were served.

A figure with temples and a figure that only ever existed on a page are different kinds of thing, and the difference is easy to lose once both are entries in a list.

Common questions

Which texts mention Jomjael?

ColossiansOne records 1 text naming Jomjael: 1 Enoch (The Book of Enoch). The earliest is 1 Enoch (The Book of Enoch) (c. 300–100 BCE), which gives the name as Jômjâêl.

What rank is Jomjael?

Jomjael is ranked as Chief of Ten in 1 Enoch (The Book of Enoch). Rank in this material is a claim made by a particular text, not a fixed property of the figure.

How else is Jomjael spelled?

The name appears as Jômjâêl and Yomiel. Variation on this scale is the norm: these names cross Ugaritic, Hebrew, Greek, Latin and vernacular transmission, and each step reshapes the spelling. Every profile records the name as each text gives it.

What is Jomjael said to do?

The sources credit Jomjael with 1 distinct powers or offices, including Commands Legions. Each is attributed on the profile to the text that claims it. ColossiansOne describes what the texts say; it does not endorse the claims or reproduce them as instruction.

How old is Jomjael?

The earliest attestation in this corpus dates to c. 200 BCE. That is when the name first appears in a surviving text, which is a lower bound rather than an origin — a figure known from three tablets was probably named in many more that did not survive. Jomjael is classified as fallen in ColossiansOne.

Ananel

Chief of Ten · The Watchers

30

Of the thirteen chiefs of tens, his is the only name that reaches English in a single form — the rest arrive with two spellings or three. What does not arrive at all is any account of what he did after the descent.

Arakiba

Chief of Ten · The Watchers

30

Stands second among the leaders, immediately after Semjaza, and the text never returns to him. His name travels worse than any other Watcher's: Arâkîba where Charles translates the Ethiopic, Urakabarameel in the witnesses behind the Greek — barely recognisable as the same word.

Armaros

Chief of Ten · The Watchers

Taught how to break enchantments — the counter-spell to Semjaza's spell, and the only Watcher whose art is purely defensive.

Batarel

Chief of Ten · The Watchers

30

Batârêl in Charles, Batraal in the lists that reached English through Greek. Under either spelling he swears the oath on Hermon and does nothing further that the text records.

Danel

Chief of Ten · The Watchers

30

Three unrelated figures carry this name — a Ugaritic king, the biblical prophet, and this Watcher — and only the coincidence connects them. 1 Enoch records his oath and nothing he taught.

Ezeqeel

Chief of Ten · The Watchers

30

Meteorology is on the charge sheet. He taught men to read the clouds, and 1 Enoch files that beside metalwork and astrology as one of the crimes that brought the flood.
