AZAZIL (عزازل).
Arabic name meaning
"removed, separated." It is the same as Hebrew Azazel (עֲזָאזֵל).
AZAZIL. In Milton's Paradise
Lost, Azazil is the standard-bearer of the infernal host.
According to the Koran, when God commanded the angels to worship Adam,
Azazil replied, "Why should the son of fire fall down before a son
of clay?" and God cast him out of heaven. His name was then
changed to Eblis, which means "despair."
"Then straight commands that
at the warlike sound /
Of trumpets loud, and clarions, be upreared /
His mighty standard; that proud honour claimed / Azazil, as his right, a cherub tall."—Milton:
Paradise Lost, book i. 531-4. (Dictionary of Phrase and Fable,
Brewer, 1905)
The
Etymology which Kimky, Pomarius and Aquinas have
given this word, is uncertain, and contrary to the Rules of Grammar; making
it a compound of Aaz, a Goat, and Azel, put back;
because the one is of the Feminine Gender, and the other of the
Masculine. But 'tis certain that the Verb Azal signifies to
put back or to remove, and that 'tis usual with the Hebrews
to double the first Syllable of their Nouns to denote the
Superlative. The learned Bochart is of opinion, that the
word Hazazel, is the same with the Arabick word Azazil,
which signifies separated or removed; And others in fine
think that the Goat was so called, from a Mountain of that name near Sinai,
whither it was to be sent... (An Essay for a New Translation of the
Bible, 1701)
