Historical Context

The descent of Turel and the other two hundred angels transpired during a significant period described as when “men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them“. This era, specifically noted as “in the days of Jared“, witnessed the fateful attraction of “the sons of God” to the beauty of human women, leading them to take wives “of all which they chose“. The oath sworn by these two hundred angels, including Turel, upon Mount Hermon was a pivotal act, solidifying their collective decision to defy the divine order and intermingle with humanity. This transgression led to the revelation of “what was hidden to the children of men“, as the Watchers, including possibly Turel through his association with the group, imparted forbidden knowledge and practices. This instruction contributed to a rise in godlessness and corruption among humankind, marked by the birth of the Nephilim or giants, whose destructive presence further exacerbated the wickedness on Earth, ultimately precipitating the divine judgment of the Flood.

Narrative

The narrative involving Turel positions him as a participant in the rebellion of the Watchers against the divine decree. His inclusion in the list of the “leaders” signifies a level of authority and commitment within this fallen host. The central event in his narrative, as presented in these sources, is his involvement in the collective oath taken on Mount Hermon. This oath bound him and the other two hundred angels to the plan of descending to Earth and engaging in the forbidden union with human women. While the specific actions or teachings attributed directly to Turel are not detailed in these excerpts, his participation in this foundational act of defiance places him within the broader narrative of celestial transgression and its dire consequences for both the angelic and human realms. The presence of similarly named figures in another listing of the descended angels reinforces his place within this narrative of the Watchers who chose to reveal hidden knowledge and ultimately faced divine judgment.
