What does the Bible say about Azazel? Any other sources discuss Azazel? What do they say? Just trying to get some background information.?

Azazel in the bible referes to the scapegoat that was loosed into the wilderness.

The other goat was killed as a sacrifice.

The demon god Azazel is not found in the bible but the book of Enoch mentioned him as the demon that taught men how to make weapons and work metal.

He also taught women cosmetics and jewelry

In Lev. xvi. the single allusion to Azazel is as follows: On the tenth day of Tishri (see Atonement Day) the high priest, after first performing the prescribed sacrifices for himself and his family, presented the victims for the sins of the people. These were a ram for a burnt offering, and two young goats for a sin-offering. Having brought the goats before Yhwh at the door of the tabernacle, he cast lots for them, the one lot "for Yhwh" and the other "for Azazel." The goat that fell to Yhwh was slain as a sin-offering for the people. But the goat of Azazel (now usually known as the "scapegoat") was made the subject of a more striking ceremony. The high priest laid his hands upon its head and confessed over it the sins of the people. Then the victim was handed over to a man standing ready for the purpose, and, laden as it was with these imputed sins, it was "led forth to an isolated region," and then let go in the wilderness.

Azazel is only mentioned in Leviticus chapter 16.

"...Aaron shall cast lots on the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for Azazel. ... the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Azazel. ... The one who sets the goat free for Azazel shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward may come into the camp." (NRSV)

Originally it was probably just a name associated with the "scapegoat". In later Jewish and Christian traditions, Azazel was personified as an incarnation of evil. Some later traditions regard him as one of the fallen angels; some early Christian traditions equate him with Satan.

Wikipedia and the Jewish Encyclopedia are good sources for background information.

It's apparently a misunderstanding of an ancient Hebrew word for "scapegoat."

The idea that it's the name of some kind of god or devil appeared much later than the era in which the Torah was written.

I'm sure the man made Bible has something to say whatever the author cherry picked before he wrote down on the man made book?
