Meaning of AZAZEL ?

Question

What is the meaning of the word "AZAZEL"?

Answer 1

He is the fallen Angel who taught women to wear makeup and entice men.

Answer 2

the two words AZAZ + EL means God strengthens,

BUT

AZ + AZEL means Goat of departure.... the goat that had the sins of the nation of israel imparted into it and was cast out into the desert to wander till its doom...

The demon was so named because as mentioned in the book of Enoch he was the first to rebel and leave heaven... hence "goat" being symbolic of evil (as opposed to sheep meaning good) and the departure was him leaving heaven..hence he was named "goat of departure". This is not his real name but merely a name to describe him... just like "the President" isn't George W. Bush's real name...its merely a title...

Answer 3

Azazel (Aramaic: רמשנאל, Hebrew: עזאזל, Aze'ezel Arabic: عزازل Azazil): "God has been strong" or "God strengthens."

"The name of a supernatural being mentioned in connection with the ritual of the Day of Atonement (Lev. xvi.). After Satan, for whom he was in some degree a preparation, Azazel enjoys the distinction of being the most mysterious extrahuman character in sacred literature. Unlike other Hebrew proper names, the name itself is obscure."
