But whilst I think there are similarities, they are often contrasting. And that’s the point.

Yes – the message, what the ancient Israelites would have called the “word”, is completely different.

Characters are switching roles and doing illogical things for very selfish reasons.

Which is exactly how the book of Enoch describes the rebellious Watchers. The difference is that the general ANE world thought that these Watchers were wonderful for teaching humans all sorts of depravity, and what Genesis imports from Enoch says, “Um, no” – very firmly.
