According to the Sepher Henoch, ch. LXIX, one of the guilty angels was likewise called Gabriel. "It is he who revealed to the sons of men how to kill; it was he who seduced Eve and taught the sons of men deadly wounds, the breastplate, the buckler, the sword, and all things that can kill or avoid death. He formed the inhabitants of the arid element down to the consummation of the centuries."
