{{refimprove|date=February 2017}}

'''Tamiel''' (or '''Tumiel'''; {{langx|arc|תומיאל}}, {{langx|grc|Ταμιήλ}}), also spelled '''Tâmîêl''', is a [fallen angel](/source/fallen_angel), the fifth mentioned of the 20 [watcher](/source/Watcher_(angel)) leaders of the 200 fallen angels in the [Book of Enoch](/source/Book_of_Enoch). Tamiel is also called either '''Kasdaye'''{{Citation needed|date=July 2021}} (also '''Kasdeja''', from [Aramaic](/source/Aramaic_language) כַּשְׂדָּי ''kaśdāy''—"[Chaldea](/source/Chaldea)n", "inhabitant of Chaldea", "astrologer")<ref>[http://biblehub.com/hebrew/3779.htm Strong's Hebrew: 3779]</ref> or '''Kasyade''' (prob. compd. of כָּסָה ''kasah''—"to conceal" + יָד ''yad''—"hand", "power"; lit. "covered hand", "hidden power")<ref>Sola, Rev. David Aaron. Frost, Isaac. (publ.) ''Signification of the Proper Names, Etc., Occurring in the Book of Enoch: From the Hebrew and Chaldee Languages''. London, 1852.</ref> in the Book of Enoch, Chapter 69. 

Michael Knibb lists the translation of Tamiel as "God is Perfect" or "Perfection of God" (the combination of ''tamiym'' and ''El''-God). Tamiel was attributed as a teacher of astronomy (Enoch 8:7). He also taught "the children of men all of the wicked strikes of spirits, [the strikes of] demons, and the strikes of the embryo in the womb so that it may pass away (abortion), and [the strikes of the soul], the bites of the serpent, and the strikes which befall through the noontide heat, [which is called] the son of the serpent named Taba'et (meaning male)" during the days of [Noah](/source/Noah), not the days of [Jared](/source/Jared_(Biblical_figure)) (Enoch 69:12).
