The Book of Watchers is one of the 5 books that make up 1 Enoch. Watchers is a term used in Daniel 4 to describe some of the angelic beings. The story of the Watchers taking human wives, teaching them sorcery, giving them giants as children, and being punished for their crimes against God and humanity, is told in the Book of Watchers. Here is how I see it. Genesis 6:1-4 has a very vague and non-specific story which could be interpreted as being about angels cohabiting with women. Some mystical and apocalyptically minded Jews enhanced these stories, adding more details and coming up with a long legend about it all. The Book of Watchers represents one form of the longer legend. Jude 6 makes a direct reference to the book of Enoch (citing information from the part known as the Book of Watchers). 1 Peter 3:19 and 2 Peter 3:4 refer to the same idea. The fact that apostles read 1 Enoch (specifically the Book of Watchers) does not, in my view, mean we must accept this as scripture. But they agreed with the idea that angels had cohabited with women and that fallen angelic beings exist, some imprisoned and some part of the evil power at work in our world. Derek Leman Angela:
