1And Azazel taught human beings to make swords, knives, shields, and armor for the shoulders. He showed them what lay behind these and how to make them, as well as bracelets, ornaments, eye paint, the beautifying of the eyelids, every kind of precious and choice stone, and every dye for coloring. And the world was changed.
