In The Bible who are the watchers

Hebrew Word: â€×¢Ö´×™×¨â€Ž Transliteration: ʿîr Phonetic Pronunciation:eer Root: from a root corresponding to(Chaldee); from a root corresponding to (`uwr); a watcher, i.e. an angel (as guardian) :- watcher. -Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary == == The answer comes from both The Bible and a manuscript found among the Dead Sea Scrolls known as the Book of Giants. The combined stories tell us that at two separate times there were two groups of angels that left their habitat in heaven to come to the earth to have sex with human women. The first group numbered 700 prior to the flood of Noah. After the flood another 200 also came to ' mingle ' with the women. In particular there were eight angels in which God holds responsible for luring the other 192 angels away from their habitat. These eight are known as ' The Watchers ' and are mentioned by name in the manuscript. The story goes on to say that the Watchers, realizing their mistake, tried to get back on God's good side by teaching things to the humans such as ' Metallurgy ', and something referred to as ' enhancements'. This word 'enhancements' seems to suggest that the angels taught humans ' magical ' things. It is unclear what their duties were in heaven but it is very clear that God was deeply upset by their choice to leave.
