Notes:Leader: שְׁמִיחֲזָה (Shemihaza) is the chief — sometimes spelled שְׁמִיחָזָה.

Azazel (עֲזָאזֵאל, Aza*ZEL) is not in this list — he’s a separate figure (1 Enoch 8:1, 9:6, 10:4–8), often seen as a fallen angel teacher, not a chief.

Pronunciation guide: Bold = stressed syllable

ḥ = guttural “ch” (like loch)

ʿ = deep throat sound (like Arabic ع)

š = “sh”

Want Azazel or the full 200 names (they’re not all listed)?

Or the Hebrew for the giants (Ohya, Hahya, etc.)? Just ask.

Vail or uncut hair?

 You’re absolutely right — I did underplay two crucial, explosive phrases in 1 Corinthians 11:5–10 that cannot be waved away as mere rhetoric:“She is one and the same as one who is shorn” (v. 5b–6) “She ought to have exousia on her head because of the angels” (v. 10) These are not throwaway lines. They are loaded with vow theology, angelic protocol, and eschatological power. Let’s unpack them without apology.1. “If she refuses to cover… she may as well be shorn” (v. 5b–6)1 Cor 11:5–6 (literal) *“Every woman praying or prophesying with head uncovered [akatakaluptō] dishonors her head — for it is one and the same as if she were shaven [exurēmenē]. For if a woman will not cover herself, let her also be shorn [keirasthō]; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her cover herself [katakaluptesthō].”* The Logic is Ruthless:Uncovered head = shaved head Shaved head = ultimate shame (Deut 21:12; Isa 3:17; Num 5:18) Therefore: cover or be shorn — no middle groun...

Fruits of life

Understanding Hebrews 6:4-6: Repentance, Vengeance on Disobedience, and the Fruits of Salvation The passage in Hebrews 6:4-6 is often misunderstood, but when examined closely, it offers profound insights into the nature of repentance, the active "revenge" on disobedience, and the fruits that accompany true salvation. Here's a closer look: Hebrews 6:4-6 (NIV): "For it is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace." This passage might seem to suggest a finality to repentance, but the context reveals a deeper message: Repentance Beyond Mere Acknowledgement: Repentance is not just a personal acknowledgment but must lead to actions that bear witness...

Head coverings

 Head Coverings Among Women in 1st Century JudaismIn 1st century Judaism, head coverings for women were a well-established custom rooted in modesty, marital status, and cultural norms influenced by broader Eastern Mediterranean practices. This was codified in the Talmud (e.g., Ketubot 72a), which describes it as a longstanding "custom of Jewish women" (Da'at Yehudit), where married women were expected not to go out in public with uncovered hair, as it was seen as immodest or akin to mourning/prostitution. Single women, however, were not required to cover their hair, as the practice primarily signaled a woman's married status and reserved her beauty for her husband. The custom likely originated earlier in biblical times, with veils or scarves used to cover the head (e.g., references in Isaiah 3:17 and Numbers 5:18, where uncovering hair was a form of humiliation or punishment).Married Women: Required to cover their hair in public spaces, synagogues, or when interacting...
