And the place had a cleft reaching into the abyss, *101:8 - 11 full of great pillars of fire, which were made to fall; *104:8 - 9 I could see neither its extent nor its size, nor could I see its source.
Book of Enoch 21:8
Then I said, "How terrible this place is, and how painful to look at!"
Book of Enoch 21:9
Then Uriel, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered me. He answered me and said to me, "Enoch, why do you have such fear and terror because of this terrible place, and before this pain?"
Book of Enoch 21:10
And he said to me, "This place is the prison of the angels, and they will be held there forever." *2 Peter 2:4
Book of Enoch 22:1
And from there, I went to another place, and he showed me a large and high mountain in the west, and a hard rock, and four beautiful places.
Book of Enoch 22:2
And inside, it was deep, wide, and very smooth. How smooth is that which rolls, and deep and dark to look at!
Book of Enoch 22:3
Then Raphael, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered me and said to me, "These beautiful places are there so that the spirits, the souls of the dead, might be gathered into them. They were created for them; so that they might gather the souls of the sons of men here.
Book of Enoch 22:4
And they made these places, where they will keep them until the Day of Judgement, and until their appointed time, and that appointed time will be long, until the Great Judgement comes upon them.
Book of Enoch 22:5
And I saw the spirits of the sons of men who were dead and their voices reached heaven and complained.
Book of Enoch 22:6
Then I asked Raphael, the angel who was with me, and said to him, "Whose is this spirit, whose voice thus reaches heaven and complains?"
Book of Enoch 22:7
And he answered me and said to me, saying, "This spirit is the one that came out of Abel, whom Cain, his brother, killed. And he will complain about him until his offspring are destroyed from the face of the earth, and from among the offspring of men, his offspring perish."
Book of Enoch 22:8
Then I asked about him, and about Judgement on all, and I said, "Why is one separated from another?"
Book of Enoch 22:9
And he answered me and said to me, "These three places were made in order that they might separate the spirits of the dead. And thus the souls of the righteous have been separated; this is the spring of water, and the light on it.
Book of Enoch 22:10
Likewise, a place has been created for sinners, when they die, and are buried in the earth, and Judgement has not come upon them during their life.
Book of Enoch 22:11
And here their souls will be separated for this great torment, until the Great Day of Judgement and punishment and torment for those who curse, forever, and of vengeance on their souls. And He will bind them there forever. Verily, He is, from the beginning of the world.
Book of Enoch 22:12
And thus a place has been separated for the souls of those who complain, and give information about their destruction, about when they were killed, in the days of the sinners.
Book of Enoch 22:13
Thus a place has been created, for the souls of men who are not righteous, but sinners, accomplished in wrongdoing, and their lot will be with the wrongdoers. But their souls will not be killed on the Day of Judgement, nor will they rise from here."
Book of Enoch 22:14
Then I blessed the Lord of glory and said, "My Lord is blessed, the Lord of glory and righteousness, who rules everything forever."
Book of Enoch 23:1
And from there I went to another place, towards the west, to the ends of the earth.
Book of Enoch 23:2
And I saw a fire that burnt and ran without resting or ceasing from running, by day or by night, but continued in exactly the same way.
Book of Enoch 23:3
And I asked saying, "What is this which has no rest?"
Book of Enoch 23:4
Then Raguel, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered me and said to me, "This burning fire, whose course you saw towards the west, is the fire of all the lights of heaven."
Book of Enoch 24:1
And from there I went to another place of the earth and he showed me a mountain of fire that blazed day and night.
Book of Enoch 24:2
And I went towards it and saw seven magnificent mountains. And all were different from one another, and precious and beautiful stones, and all were precious, and their appearance [was] glorious, and their form was beautiful. Three towards the east, one fixed firmly on another, and three towards the south, one on another, and deep and rugged valleys, not one of which was near another.
Book of Enoch 24:3
And there was a seventh mountain in the middle of these, and they were all like the seat of a throne in their height, and fragrant trees surrounded it.
Book of Enoch 24:4
And there was a tree among them such as which I have never smelled, and none of them, or any others, were like it. It smells more fragrant than any fragrance, and its leaves, and its flowers, and its wood never wither. Its fruit is good, and its fruit is like bunches of dates on a palm.
Book of Enoch 24:5
And then I said, "Behold, this beautiful tree! Beautiful to look at, and its leaves are pleasant, and its fruit [is] very delightful in appearance."
Book of Enoch 24:6
And then Michael, one of the holy and honored angels who was with me, and was in charge of them,
Book of Enoch 25:1
Answered me and said to me, "Enoch, why do you ask me about the fragrance of this tree, and why do you inquire to learn?"
Book of Enoch 25:2
Then I, Enoch, answered him saying, "I wish to learn about everything, but especially about this tree."
Book of Enoch 25:3
And he answered me, saying, "This high mountain, which you saw, whose summit is like the Throne of the Lord, is the Throne where the Holy and Great One, the Lord of glory, the Eternal King, will sit when He comes down to visit the earth for good.
Book of Enoch 25:4
And this beautiful and fragrant tree, and no creature of flesh has authority to touch it until the Great Judgement, when He will take vengeance on all and bring everything to a consummation forever, this will be given to the righteous and the humble.
Book of Enoch 25:5
From its fruit, life will be given to the chosen; it will be planted towards the north in a holy place, by the House of the Lord, the Eternal King.
Book of Enoch 25:6
Then they will rejoice with joy and be glad in the holy place. They will each draw the fragrance of it into their bones, and they will live a long life on earth, as your fathers lived. And in their days, sorrow and pain, and toil and punishment, will not touch them."
Book of Enoch 25:7
Then I blessed the Lord of glory, the Eternal King, because He has prepared such things for righteous men, and has created such things, and said that they are to be given to them.
Book of Enoch 26:1
And from there, I went to the middle of the earth, and saw a blessed, well watered place, which had branches which remained alive, and sprouted from a tree which had been cut down.
Book of Enoch 26:2
And there I saw a holy mountain, and there was water under the mountain, to the east of it, and it flowed towards the south.
Book of Enoch 26:3
And I saw another mountain towards the east, which was of the same height, and there was a deep and narrow valley between them; and a stream ran in it by the mountain.
Book of Enoch 26:4
And there was another mountain to the west of this one, which was lower than it was and not high; and under it, there was a valley between them. And there were other deep and dry valleys at the end of the three mountains.
Book of Enoch 26:5
And all the valleys were deep and narrow, of hard rock, and trees were planted on them.
Book of Enoch 26:6
And I was amazed at the rock, and I was amazed at the valley; I was very much amazed.
Book of Enoch 27:1
Then I said, "What is the purpose of this blessed land, which is completely full of trees, and of this accursed valley in the middle of them?"
Book of Enoch 27:2
Then Raphael, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered me and said to me, "This accursed valley is for those who are cursed forever. All who speak with their mouths against the Lord will be gathered together here - words that are not fitting, and say hard things about His glory. They will gather them here together, and their place of Judgement will be here.
Book of Enoch 27:3
And in the Last Days, there will be the spectacle of the righteous Judgement upon them, in front of the righteous, forever. For here, the merciful will bless the Lord of glory, the Eternal King.
Book of Enoch 27:4
And they will bless Him in the days of the judgement on them, on account of His mercy, accordingly as He has assigned their lot to them."
Book of Enoch 27:5
Then I blessed the Lord of glory myself, I addressed Him, and I remembered His majesty, as was fitting.
Book of Enoch 28:1
And from there, I went towards the east, to the middle of the mountain of the wilderness, and I saw only desert.
Book of Enoch 28:2
But it was full of trees from this seed, and water gushed out over it from above.
Book of Enoch 28:3
The torrent, which flowed towards the northwest, seemed copious, and spray and mist went up from all sides.
Book of Enoch 29:1
And I went to another place, away from the wilderness; I came near to the east of this mountain.
Book of Enoch 29:2
And I saw Trees of Judgement there, especially vessels of the fragrance of incense and myrrh, and the trees were not alike.
Book of Enoch 30:1
And above it, above these, above the mountains of the east, and not far away, I saw another place, valleys of water, like that which does not fail.
Book of Enoch 30:2
And I saw a beautiful tree, and its fragrance was like that of the mastic.
Book of Enoch 30:3
And I saw fragrant cinnamon by the banks of these valleys. And beyond those valleys I came towards the east.
Book of Enoch 31:1
And I saw another mountain on which there were trees, and water flowed out there, and there flowed out from it, as it were, a nectar whose name is styrax and galbanum.
Book of Enoch 31:2
And I saw another mountain beyond this mountain, and there were aloe trees on it, and those trees were full of a fruit, which is like an almond, and is hard.
Book of Enoch 31:3
And when they take this fruit, it is better than any fragrance.
Book of Enoch 32:1
And after these fragrances, to the north, as I looked over the mountains, I saw seven mountains full of fine nard, and fragrant trees of cinnamon and pepper.
Book of Enoch 32:2
And from there, I went over the summits of those mountains, far away to the east, and I went over the Red Sea, and I was far from it, and I went over the angel Zotiel.
Book of Enoch 32:3
And I came to the Garden of Righteousness, and I saw many large trees growing there beyond those trees, sweet smelling, large, very beautiful and glorious, the Trees of Wisdom, from which they eat and know great wisdom.
Book of Enoch 32:4
And it is like the carob tree, and its fruit is like bunches of grapes on a vine, very beautiful, and the smell of this tree spreads and penetrates afar.
Book of Enoch 32:5
And I said, "This tree is beautiful! How beautiful and pleasing is its appearance!"
Book of Enoch 32:6
And the holy angel Raphael, who was with me, answered me and said to me, "This is the Tree of Wisdom, from which your ancient father and ancient mother, who were before you, ate and learned wisdom; and their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked. *7:22, *20:121 And they were driven from the Garden." *7:27
Book of Enoch 33:1
And from there I went to the ends of the earth, and I saw large animals there, each different from the other, and also birds, which differed in form, beauty, and call - each different from the other.
Book of Enoch 33:2
And to the east of these animals, I saw the ends of the earth, on which heaven rests, and the open gates of heaven.
Book of Enoch 33:3
And I saw how the stars of heaven come out, and counted the gates out of which they come, and wrote down all their outlets, for each one, individually, according to their number. And their names, according to their constellations, their positions, their times, and their months, as the angel Uriel, who was with me, showed me.
Book of Enoch 33:4
And he showed me everything, and wrote it down, and he also wrote down their names for me, and their laws and their functions.
Book of Enoch 34:1
And from there I went towards the north, to the ends of the earth, and I saw a great and glorious wonder there at the ends of the whole earth.
Book of Enoch 34:2
And I saw three gates of heaven there; north winds go out through each of them; when they blow there is cold, hail, hoarfrost, snow, fog, and rain.
Book of Enoch 34:3
And from one gate, it blows for good; but when they blow through the other two gates, it is with force, and it brings torment over the earth, and they blow with force.
Book of Enoch 35:1
And from there I went towards the west, to the ends of the earth, and I saw there, as I saw in the east, three open gates - as many gates and as many outlets.
Book of Enoch 36:1
And from there I went towards the south, to the ends of the earth, and there I saw three gates of heaven open; and the south wind, the mist, and the rain, and wind, come out from there.
Book of Enoch 36:2
And from there I went towards the east of the ends of heaven, and there I saw the three eastern gates of heaven open, and above them, there were smaller gates.
Book of Enoch 36:3
The stars of heaven pass through each of these smaller gates and go towards the west, on the path that has been shown to them.
Book of Enoch 36:4
And when I saw, I blessed, and I will always bless the Lord of glory, who has made great and glorious wonders so that He might show the greatness of His work, to His angels, and to the souls of men, so that they might praise His work. And so that all His creatures might see the work of His power, and praise the great work of His hands, and bless Him forever!
Book of Enoch 37:1
The second vision that he saw, the vision of wisdom, which Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Malalel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, saw.
Book of Enoch 37:2
And this is the beginning of the words of wisdom, which I raised my voice to speak and say, "To those who dwell on dry ground - hear, you men of old, and see, those who come after; the words of the Holy One, which I will speak, in front of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 37:3
It would have been better to have said these things before, but from those who come after, we will not withhold the beginning of wisdom.
Book of Enoch 37:4
Until now, there has not been given, by the Lord of spirits, such wisdom as I have received. In accordance with my insight, in accordance with the wish of the Lord of spirits, by whom the lot of eternal life has been given to me."
Book of Enoch 37:5
And the three parables were imparted to me and I raised my voice, and said to those who dwell on the dry ground -
Book of Enoch 38:1
The first parable - "When the community of the righteous appears and the sinners are judged for their sins and are driven from the face of the dry ground.
Book of Enoch 38:2
And when the Righteous One appears, in front of the chosen righteous, whose works are weighed *7:8 by the Lord of spirits. And when light appears to the righteous and chosen who dwell on the dry ground. Where will the dwelling of the sinners be? And where will the resting place of those who denied the Lord of spirits be? It would have been better for them, if they had not been born.
Book of Enoch 38:3
And when the secrets of the righteous are revealed, the sinners will be judged, and the impious will be driven from the presence of the righteous and the chosen.
Book of Enoch 38:4
And from then on, those who possess the earth will not be mighty and exalted. Nor will they be able to look at the face of the holy ones, for the light of the Lord of the spirits will have appeared on the face *3:107, *75:22 - 23, *80:38 of the holy, the righteous, and the chosen.
Book of Enoch 38:5
And the mighty kings will be destroyed at that time and given into the hand of the righteous and the holy.
Book of Enoch 38:6
And from then on, no one will be able to seek the Lord of spirits, for their life will be at an end.
Book of Enoch 39:1
And it will come to pass in these days that the chosen and holy children will come down from the high heavens and their offspring will become one with the sons of men.
Book of Enoch 39:2
In those days, Enoch received books of indignation and anger and books of tumult and confusion. 'And there will be no mercy for them,' the Lord of spirits says.
Book of Enoch 39:3
And at that time, clouds and a storm wind carried me off from the face of the earth and set me down at the end of heaven.
Book of Enoch 39:4
And there I saw another vision; the dwelling of the righteous and the resting places of the holy.
Book of Enoch 39:5
There my eyes saw their dwelling with the angels, and their resting places with the holy ones, and they were petitioning and supplicating and praying, on behalf of the sons of men; and righteousness, like water, flowed in front of them, and mercy like dew on the ground. Thus it is among them forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 39:6
And in those days my eyes saw the place of the chosen ones of righteousness and faith; and there will be righteousness in their days, and the righteous and chosen will be without number, in front of Him, forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 39:7
And I saw their dwelling, under the wings of the Lord of spirits, and all the righteous and chosen shone in front of Him, like the light of fire. And their mouths were full of blessing, and their lips praised the name of the Lord of spirits. And righteousness will not fail in front of Him, and truth will not fail in front of Him.
Book of Enoch 39:8
I wished to dwell there, and my soul longed for that dwelling; my lot had been assigned there before, for thus it was decided about me, in front of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 39:9
And in those days, I praised and exalted the name of the Lord of spirits, with blessing and praise, for He has destined me for blessing and praise, in accordance with the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 39:10
And my eyes looked at that place for a long time, and I blessed Him and praised Him, saying, 'He is blessed, and may He be blessed from the beginning and forever!'
Book of Enoch 39:11
And there is no end in His presence. He knew before the world was created what the world would be, even for all the generations that are to come.
Book of Enoch 39:12
Those who do not sleep bless You, and they stand before Your glory, and bless and praise and exalt, saying, 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord of spirits; He fills the earth with spirits.'
Book of Enoch 39:13
And there, my eyes saw all those who do not sleep; standing in front of Him, and blessing, and saying, 'You are blessed, and the name of the Lord is blessed forever and ever!'
Book of Enoch 39:14
And my face was transformed until I was unable to see.
Book of Enoch 40:1
And after this, I saw a thousand thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand! A multitude beyond number or reckoning, who stood in front of the glory of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 40:2
I looked, and on the four sides of the Lord of spirits, I saw four figures, different from those who were standing; and I learned their names, because the angel who went with me made their names known, and showed me all the secret things.
Book of Enoch 40:3
And I heard the voices of those four figures as they sang praises in front of the Lord of glory.
Book of Enoch 40:4
The first voice blesses the Lord of spirits forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 40:5
And I heard the second voice blessing the Chosen One and the chosen who depend on the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 40:6
And I heard the third voice, [which] petitioned and prayed on behalf of those who dwell on dry ground and supplicated in the name of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 40:7
And I heard the fourth voice driving away the devils and not allowing them to come in front of the Lord of spirits to accuse those who dwell on the high ground.
Book of Enoch 40:8
And after this, I asked the angel of peace who went with me, and showed me everything which is secret, 'Who are those four figures, whom I have seen, and whose words I have heard and written down?'
Book of Enoch 40:9
And he said to me, 'This first one, is the holy Michael, the merciful and long-suffering. And the second, who is in charge of all the diseases, and in charge of all the wounds of the sons of men, is Raphael. And the third, who is in charge of all the powers, is the holy Gabriel. And the fourth, who is in charge of repentance and hope of those who will inherit eternal life, is Phanuel.'
Book of Enoch 40:10
And these are the four angels of the Lord Most High; and the four voices that I heard in those days.
Book of Enoch 41:1
And after this, I saw all the secrets of heaven, and how the Kingdom is divided, and how the deeds of men are weighed in the balance. *7:8
Book of Enoch 41:2
I saw the dwelling of the chosen there, and the resting places of the holy; and my eyes saw all the sinners who deny the name of the Lord of spirits being driven from there. And they dragged them off, and they were not able to remain, because of the punishment that went out from the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 41:3
And there my eyes saw the secrets of the flashes of lightning and the thunder. And the secrets of the winds, how they are distributed in order to blow over the earth, and the secrets of the clouds, and of the dew; and there I saw from where they go out, in that place. And how, from there, the dust of the earth is saturated.
Book of Enoch 41:4
And there I saw closed storehouses from which the winds are distributed, and the storehouse of the hail, and the storehouse of the mist, and the storehouse of the clouds; and its cloud remained over the earth, from the beginning of the world.
Book of Enoch 41:5
And I saw the chambers of the sun and the moon, where they go out, and where they return. And their glorious return; and how one is more honored than the other. And their magnificent course, and how they do not leave their course, neither adding nor subtracting from their course. And how they keep faith in one another, observing their oath.
Book of Enoch 41:6
And the sun goes out first, and completes its journey at the command of the Lord of spirits - and His name endures forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 41:7
And after this is the hidden and visible path of the moon, and it travels the course of its journey in that place by day and by night. One stands opposite the other, in front of the Lord of spirits, and they give thanks, and sing praise, *17:44, *24:41, *57:1, *59:1, *61:1, *62:1, *64:1 and do not rest, because their thanksgiving is like rest to them.
Book of Enoch 41:8
For the shining sun makes many revolutions; for a blessing and for a curse. And the path of the journey of the moon is light for the righteous, but darkness for the sinners. In the name of the Lord, who has created a division between light and darkness, and has divided the spirits of men, and has established the spirits of the righteous in the name of His righteousness.
Book of Enoch 41:9
For no angel hinders, and no power is able to hinder, because the Judge sees them all, and judges them all Himself.
Book of Enoch 42:1
Wisdom found no place where she could dwell, and her dwelling was in heaven.
Book of Enoch 42:2
Wisdom went out in order to dwell among the sons of men, but did not find a dwelling; wisdom returned to her place and took her seat in the midst of the angels.
Book of Enoch 42:3
And iniquity came out from her chambers; she found those whom she did not seek, and dwelt among them, like rain in the desert, and like dew on the parched ground.
Book of Enoch 43:1
And again I saw flashes of lightning and the stars of heaven, and I saw how He called them all by their names, and they obeyed Him.
Book of Enoch 43:2
And I saw the Balance of Righteousness, how they are weighed according to their light, according to the width of their areas, and the day of their appearing. And how their revolutions produce lightning, and I saw their revolutions, according to the number of the angels, and how they keep faith with one another.
Book of Enoch 43:3
And I asked the angel, who went with me and showed me what is secret, 'What are these?'
Book of Enoch 43:4
And he said to me, 'The Lord of spirits has shown their likeness to you; these are the names of the righteous who dwell on the dry ground and believe in the name of the Lord of spirits forever and ever.'
Book of Enoch 44:1
And I saw other things concerning lightning, how some of the stars rise and become lightning but cannot lose their form.
Book of Enoch 45:1
And this is the second parable. About those who deny the name of the dwelling of the holy ones and of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 45:2
They will not ascend into heaven nor will they come upon the earth; such will be the lot of the sinners who deny the name of the Lord of spirits who will thus be kept for the Day of Affliction and Distress.
Book of Enoch 45:3
'On that Day, the Chosen One will sit on the throne of glory and will choose their works. And their resting places will be without number and their spirits within them will grow strong when they see My Chosen One and those who appeal to My holy and glorious name.
Book of Enoch 45:4
And on that Day, I will cause My Chosen One to dwell among them and I will transform heaven and make it an eternal blessing and light.
Book of Enoch 45:5
And I will transform the dry ground and make it a blessing, and I will cause My chosen ones to dwell upon it; but those who commit sin and evil will not tread upon it.
Book of Enoch 45:6
For I have seen and have satisfied My righteous ones with peace, and have placed them in front of Me; but My judgement draws near for the sinners so that I may destroy them from the face of the earth."
Book of Enoch 46:1
And there I saw one who had a 'Head of Days' and His head was white like wool. And there was another with Him whose face had the appearance of a man and his face was full of grace like one of the holy angels.
Book of Enoch 46:2
And I asked one of the holy angels, who went with me and showed me all the secrets, about that Son of man, who he was, and from where he was, and why he went with the Head of Days.
Book of Enoch 46:3
And he answered me, and said to me, 'This is the Son of man who has righteousness and with whom righteousness dwells. He will reveal all the treasures of that which is secret, for the Lord of spirits has chosen him, and his lot has surpassed all others through uprightness in front of the Lord of spirits, forever.
Book of Enoch 46:4
And this Son of man, whom you have seen, will rouse the kings and the powerful from their resting places, and the strong from their thrones, and will loose the reins of the strong, and will break the teeth of the sinners.
Book of Enoch 46:5
And he will cast down the kings from their thrones, and from their kingdoms, for they do not exalt Him, and do not praise Him, and do not humbly acknowledge from where their kingdom was given to them.
Book of Enoch 46:6
And he will cast down the faces of the strong and shame will fill them, and darkness will be their dwelling, and worms will be their resting place. And they will have no hope of rising from their resting places, for they do not exalt the name of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 46:7
And these are those who judge the stars of heaven, and raise their hands against the Most High, and trample upon the dry ground, and dwell upon it. And all their deeds show iniquity, and their power rests on their riches, and their faith is in their gods that they have made with their hands, and they deny the name of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 46:8
And they will be driven from the houses of His congregation, and of the faithful, who depend on the name of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 47:1
And in those days, the prayer of the righteous, and the blood of the righteous will have ascended from the earth in front of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 47:2
In these days, the holy ones who live in heaven above will unite with one voice, and supplicate, and pray, and praise, and give thanks, and bless, in the name of the Lord of spirits. Because of the blood of the righteous that has been poured out. And because of the prayer of the righteous, so that it may not cease in front of the Lord of spirits, so that justice might be done to them, and so that their patience may not have to last forever."
Book of Enoch 47:3
And in those days, I saw the Head of Days sit down on the Throne of His glory and the Books of the Living *Revelation 20:15, *Shepherd of Hermas 51:9 were opened in front of Him and all His host, *83:18 - 21 which dwells in the heavens above, and His council, were standing in front of Him.
Book of Enoch 47:4
And the hearts of the holy ones were full of joy that the number of righteousness had been reached, and the prayer of the righteous had been heard, and the blood of the righteous had not been required in front of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 48:1
And in that place, I saw an inexhaustible spring *88:12 of righteousness and many springs *15:45, *44:51 - 52, *51:15, *77:41 of wisdom surrounded it, and all the thirsty drank from them *83:28 and were filled with wisdom, and their dwelling was with the righteous and the holy and the chosen.
Book of Enoch 48:2
And at that hour, that Son of man was named, in the presence of the Lord of spirits, and his name brought to the Head of Days.
Book of Enoch 48:3
Even before the sun and the constellations were created, before the stars of heaven were made, his name was named in front of the Lord of spirits. *John 8:58
Book of Enoch 48:4
He will be a staff to the righteous and the holy, so that they may lean on him and not fall, and he will be the light of the nations, and he will be the hope of those who grieve in their hearts.
Book of Enoch 48:5
All those who dwell upon the dry ground will fall down and prostrate in front of Him, and they will bless, and praise, and celebrate with psalms, the name of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 48:6
And because of this, he was chosen, and hidden in front of Him, before the world was created, and forever.
Book of Enoch 48:7
But the wisdom of the Lord of spirits has revealed him to the holy and the righteous, for he has kept the lot of the righteous safe, for they have hated and rejected this world of iniquity. And they have hated all its works and its ways in the name of the Lord of spirits. For they are saved in His name and He is the one who will require their lives.
Book of Enoch 48:8
And in those days, the kings of the earth, and the strong who possess the dry ground, will have downcast faces because of the works of their hands, for they will not save themselves on the Day of their distress and trouble.
Book of Enoch 48:9
And I will give them into the hands of My chosen ones; like straw in the fire, and like lead in water, so they will burn in front of the righteous, and sink in front of the holy, and no trace will be found of them.
Book of Enoch 48:10
And on the Day of their trouble, there will be rest on the earth and they will fall down in front of Him and will not rise. And there will be no one who will take them with his hands and raise them, for they denied the Lord of spirits and His Messiah. May the name of the Lord of spirits be blessed!
Book of Enoch 49:1
For wisdom has been poured out like water and glory will not fail in front of Him forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 49:2
For He is powerful in all the secrets of righteousness and iniquity will pass away like a shadow, and will have no existence; for the Chosen One stands in front of the Lord of spirits, and His glory is forever and ever, and His power for all generations.
Book of Enoch 49:3
And the Spirit of Wisdom and the Spirit that gives understanding, and the Spirit of knowledge and of power dwell in him, *Isaiah 11:2 and the Spirit of those who sleep in righteousness.
Book of Enoch 49:4
And he will judge the things that are secret, and no one will be able to say an idle word in front of him, for he has been chosen in front of the Lord of spirits, in accordance with His wish.

And in those days, a change will occur for the holy and the chosen; the Light of Days will rest upon them, and glory and honor will return to the holy.
Book of Enoch 50:2
And on the Day of Trouble, calamity will be heaped up over the sinners, but the righteous will conquer in the name of the Lord of spirits and He will show this to others so that they might repent and abandon the works of their hands.
Book of Enoch 50:3
And they will have no honor in front of the Lord of spirits, but they will be saved in His name and the Lord of spirits will have mercy on them, for His mercy is great.
Book of Enoch 50:4
And He is righteous in His judgement, and iniquity will not be able to stand against His judgement in front of His glory; he who does not repent will be destroyed.
Book of Enoch 50:5
'And from then on, I will not have mercy on them,' the Lord of spirits says.
Book of Enoch 51:1
And in those days, the earth will return that which has been entrusted to it, and Sheol will return that which has been entrusted to it and that which it has received. And destruction will return what it owes.
Book of Enoch 51:2
And He will choose the righteous and the holy from among them; for the Day has come near when they must be saved.
Book of Enoch 51:3
And in those days, the Chosen One will sit on his throne, and all the secrets of wisdom will flow out from the council of his mouth, for the Lord of spirits has appointed him and glorified him.
Book of Enoch 51:4
And in those days, the mountains will leap like rams, and the hills will skip like lambs satisfied with milk, and all will become angels in heaven.
Book of Enoch 51:5
Their faces will shine with joy, for in those days, the Chosen One will have risen and the earth will rejoice. And the righteous will dwell upon it and the chosen will walk upon it.
Book of Enoch 52:1
And after those days, in that place where I had seen all the visions of that which is secret, for I had been carried off by a whirlwind, and they had brought me to the west.
Book of Enoch 52:2
There my eyes saw the secrets of heaven; everything that will occur on earth, a mountain of iron, and a mountain of copper, and a mountain of silver, and a mountain of gold, and a mountain of soft metal, and a mountain of lead.
Book of Enoch 52:3
And I asked the angel who went with me, saying, 'What are these things which I have seen in secret?'
Book of Enoch 52:4
And he said to me, 'All these things which you have seen serve the authority of His Messiah, so that he may be strong and powerful on the earth.'
Book of Enoch 52:5
And that angel of peace answered me, saying, 'Wait a little and you will see, and everything which is secret, which the Lord of spirits has established, will be revealed to you.
Book of Enoch 52:6
And these mountains that you have seen; the mountain of iron, and the mountain of copper, and the mountain of silver, and the mountain of gold, and the mountain of soft metal, and the mountain of lead. All these will be like wax before a fire in front of the Chosen One, and like the water that comes down from above onto these mountains, they will be weak under his feet.
Book of Enoch 52:7
And it will come to pass in those days, that neither by gold, nor by silver, will men save themselves; *2:48, *2:123, *3:91, *5:36, *10:54, *13:18, *39:47, *57:15 they will be unable to save themselves, or to flee. *75:10 - 11
Book of Enoch 52:8
And there will be neither iron for war nor material for a breastplate; bronze will be of no use, and tin will be of no use and will count for nothing, and lead will not be wanted.
Book of Enoch 52:9
All these will be wiped out and destroyed from the face of the earth when the Chosen One appears in front of the Lord of spirits.'
Book of Enoch 53:1

Book of Enoch 53:3
For I saw the angels of punishment going and preparing all the instruments of Satan.
Book of Enoch 53:4

Book of Enoch 53:5
And he said to me, 'They are preparing these for the kings and the powerful of this earth, so that they may be destroyed by means of them.
Book of Enoch 54:1

Book of Enoch 54:3

Book of Enoch 54:4
And I asked the angel of peace, who went with me, saying, 'These chain instruments - for whom are they being prepared?'
Book of Enoch 54:5

Book of Enoch 54:9
And all those who dwell upon the dry ground, and those who dwell under the ends of heaven, will be wiped out.
Book of Enoch 54:10
And because of this, they will acknowledge their iniquity which they have committed on the earth and they will be destroyed through this.'
Book of Enoch 55:1
And after this, the Head of Days repented, and said, 'I have destroyed all those who dwell upon the dry ground to no purpose.'
Book of Enoch 55:2
And He swore by His great name, 'From now on I will not act like this towards all those who dwell upon the dry ground. And I will put a sign in heaven, and it will be a pledge of faith between Me and them forever, so long as heaven is above the earth. *Genesis 9:11 - 13
Book of Enoch 55:3

Book of Enoch 56:3
And he said to me, 'Each to his own chosen ones, and to their beloved ones, so that they may be thrown into the chasm, in the depths of the valley.
Book of Enoch 56:4

Book of Enoch 56:5
And in those days, the angels will gather together, and will throw themselves towards the east, upon the Parthians and Medes. They will stir up the kings so that a disturbing spirit will come upon them, and they will drive them from their thrones; and they will come out like lions from their lairs, and like hungry wolves in the middle of their flocks.
Book of Enoch 56:6
And they will go up and trample on the land of My chosen ones, and the land of My chosen ones will become a tramping ground and a beaten track before them.
Book of Enoch 56:7
But the city of My righteous ones will be a hindrance to their horses, and they will stir up slaughter amongst themselves, and their own right hand will be strong against them. And a man will not admit to knowing his neighbor, or his brother, nor a son his father, or his mother, until, through their death, there are enough corpses; and their punishment - it will not be in vain.
Book of Enoch 56:8
And in those days, Sheol will open its mouth and they will sink into it and their destruction; Sheol will swallow up the sinners in front of the faces of the chosen.'
Book of Enoch 57:1
And it came to pass after this, that I saw another host of chariots with men riding on them, and they came upon the wind from the east and from the west to the south.
Book of Enoch 57:2
And the sound of the noise of their chariots was heard. And when this occurred, the holy ones observed it from heaven and the pillars of the earth were shaken from their foundations. And the sound was heard from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven throughout one Day.
Book of Enoch 57:3
And all will fall down and prostrate to the Lord of spirits." And this is the end of the second parable.
Book of Enoch 58:1
And I began to speak the third parable. About the righteous and about the chosen.
Book of Enoch 58:2
"You are blessed, the righteous and the chosen, for your lot will be glorious!
Book of Enoch 58:3
And the righteous will be in the light of the sun and the chosen in the light of eternal life. And there will be no end to the days of their life and the days of the holy will be without number.
Book of Enoch 58:4
And they will seek the light and will find righteousness with the Lord of spirits. Peace to the righteous with the Lord of the world!
Book of Enoch 58:5
And after this, it will be said to the holy that they should seek the secrets of righteousness in heaven, the lot of faith; for it has become bright as the sun upon the dry ground, and darkness has passed away.
Book of Enoch 58:6
And there will be ceaseless light, and to a limit of days, they will not come, for darkness will have been previously destroyed. And the light will endure in front of the Lord of spirits, and the light of uprightness will endure in front of the Lord of spirits, forever."
Book of Enoch 59:1
And in those days, my eyes saw the secrets of the flashes of lightning, and the lights, and the regulations governing them; and they flash for a blessing or a curse, as the Lord of spirits wishes.
Book of Enoch 59:2
And there I saw the secrets of the thunder and how, when it crashes in heaven above, the sound of it is heard. And they showed me the dwellings of the dry ground, and the sound of the thunder, for peace and for blessing, or for a curse, according to the word of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 59:3
And after this, all the secrets of the lights and the flashes of lightning were shown to me. They flash to bring blessing and satisfaction.
Book of Enoch 60:1
In the fiftieth year, in the seventh month, on the fourteenth day of the month of the life of Enoch. In that parable, I saw how the heaven of heavens was shaken violently, and the host of the Most High and the angels, a thousand thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand, were extremely disturbed.
Book of Enoch 60:2
And then I saw the Head of Days sitting on the Throne of His glory and the angels and righteous were sitting around Him.
Book of Enoch 60:3
And a great trembling seized me, and fear took hold of me, and my loins collapsed and gave way, and my whole being melted, and I fell upon my face.
Book of Enoch 60:4
And the holy Michael sent another holy angel, one of the holy angels, and he raised me; and when he raised me, my spirit returned, for I had been unable to endure the sight of that host, and the disturbance, and the shaking of heaven.
Book of Enoch 60:5
And the holy Michael said to me, "What sight has disturbed you like this? Until today, the day of His mercy has lasted and He has been merciful and long suffering towards those who dwell upon the dry ground.
Book of Enoch 60:6
And when the Day, and the power, and the punishment, and the Judgement come, that the Lord of spirits has prepared for those who serve the righteous Judgement, and for those who deny the righteous Judgement, and for those who take His name in vain - and that Day has been prepared. For the chosen - a covenant, but for the sinners - a visitation.
Book of Enoch 60:7
And on that Day, two monsters will be separated from one another, a female monster whose name is Leviathan, to dwell in the depths of the sea, above the springs of the waters.
Book of Enoch 60:8
And the name of the male is Behemoth, who, with his breast, occupies an immense desert named Dendayn on the east of the Garden where the chosen and the righteous dwell, where my great grandfather was received, who was seventh from Adam, *Jude 1:14 the first man whom the Lord of spirits made."
Book of Enoch 60:9
And I asked that other angel to show me the power of those monsters, how they were separated on one Day, and thrown, one into the depths of the sea and the other onto the dry ground of the desert.
Book of Enoch 60:10
And he said to me, "Son of man, here you wish to know what is secret."
Book of Enoch 60:11
And the other angel spoke to me, the one who went with me and showed me what is secret; what is first and last in heaven, in the heights, and under the dry ground, in the depths, and at the ends of heaven, and at the foundations of heaven, and in the storehouses of the winds.
Book of Enoch 60:12
And how the spirits are distributed, and how they are weighed. And how the springs and the winds are counted according to the power of their spirit. And the power of the light of the moon. And the divisions of the stars according to their names. And how all the divisions are made.
Book of Enoch 60:13
And the thunder - according to the places where it falls. And all the divisions that are made in lightning - so that it may flash. And its hosts - how they quickly obey.
Book of Enoch 60:14
For the thunder has fixed intervals, which has been given to its sound, for waiting. And the thunder and the lightning are not separate although not the same. The two of them move inseparably through a spirit.
Book of Enoch 60:15
For when the lightning flashes, the thunder utters its voice, and the spirit, at the proper time, causes it to rest, and equally divides between them because the storehouse of the times for their occurrence is like that of the sand. And each of them, at the proper time, is held by a rein, and turned back by the power of the spirit, and likewise driven forward, according to the number of the regions of the earth.
Book of Enoch 60:16
And the spirit of the sea is male and strong, and according to the power of its strength, the spirit turns it back with a rein, and likewise it is driven forward, and scattered amongst all the mountains of the earth.
Book of Enoch 60:17
And the spirit of the hoarfrost is its own angel; and the spirit of the hail, is a good angel.
Book of Enoch 60:18
And the spirit of the snow has withdrawn because of its power, and it has a special spirit, and that which rises from it is like smoke and its name is frost.
Book of Enoch 60:19
And the spirit of the mist is not associated with them in their storehouse but has a special storehouse; for its course is glorious both in light and darkness, and in winter and in summer, and its storehouse is an angel.
Book of Enoch 60:20
The spirit of the dew has its dwelling at the ends of heaven and is connected with the storehouses of the rain. And its course is in winter and in summer and its clouds. And the clouds of the mist are associated and one gives to the other.
Book of Enoch 60:21
And when the spirit of the rain moves from its storehouse, the angels come and open the storehouse and bring it out. And when it is scattered over all the dry ground, it joins with all the water that is on the dry ground. And whenever it joins with the water that is on the dry ground...
Book of Enoch 60:22
For the waters are for those who dwell upon the dry ground, for they are nourishment for the dry ground, from the Most High who is in heaven. Therefore there is a fixed measure for the rain and the angels comprehend it.
Book of Enoch 60:23
I saw all these things towards the Garden of Righteousness.
Book of Enoch 60:24
And the angel of peace who was with me, said to me, "These two monsters, prepared in accordance with the greatness of the Lord, will feed them that punishment of the Lord. And children will be killed with their mothers and sons with their fathers.
Book of Enoch 60:25
When the punishment of the Lord of spirits rests upon them, it will remain resting so that the punishment of the Lord of spirits may not come in vain upon these. Afterwards, the judgement will be according to His mercy and His patience."
Book of Enoch 61:1
And in those days, I saw long cords given to those angels, and they acquired wings for themselves and flew, and went towards the north.
Book of Enoch 61:2
And I asked the angel, saying, "Why did these take the long cords and go?" And he said to me, "They went so that they may measure."
Book of Enoch 61:3
And the angel who went with me, said to me, "These will bring the measurements of the righteous, and the ropes of the righteous to the righteous, so that they may rely on the name of the Lord of spirits forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 61:4
The chosen will begin to dwell with the chosen, and these measurements will be given to faith, and will strengthen righteousness.
Book of Enoch 61:5
And these measurements will reveal all the secrets of the depths of the earth, and those who were destroyed by the desert, and those who were devoured by the fish of the sea, and by animals, so that they may return and rely on the Day of the Chosen One. For no one will be destroyed in front of the Lord of spirits, and no one can be destroyed."
Book of Enoch 61:6
And all those in the heavens above received a command, and power, and one voice, and one light like fire was given to them.
Book of Enoch 61:7
And they blessed Him before everything, and exalted, and praised in wisdom. And they showed themselves [to be] wise in speech and in the spirit of life.
Book of Enoch 61:8
And the Lord of spirits set the Chosen One on the throne of his glory, and he will judge all the works of the holy ones in heaven above, and he will weigh their deeds in the balance.

Book of Enoch 61:10
And He will call all the host of the heavens and all the holy ones above, and the host of the Lord, the cherubim, and the Seraphim, and the Ophannim, and all the angels of power, and all the angels of the principalities, and the Chosen One, and the other host that is upon the dry ground, and over the water, on that Day.
Book of Enoch 61:11
And they will raise one voice, and will bless, and praise, and glorify, and exalt in the Spirit of faith, and in the Spirit of wisdom, and of patience, and in the Spirit of mercy, and in the Spirit of justice, and of peace, and in the Spirit of goodness. And they will all say with one voice, "He is blessed, and the name of the Lord of spirits is blessed forever and ever."
Book of Enoch 61:12
All those who do not sleep in heaven above will bless Him. All His holy ones who are in heaven will bless Him, and all the chosen ones who dwell in the Garden of Life, and every spirit able to bless and praise and exalt, and make Your holy name holy. And all flesh, which to the limit of its power, will praise, and bless Your name forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 61:13
For the mercy of the Lord of spirits is great, and He is long-suffering; and all His works and all His forces, as many as He has made, He has revealed to the righteous and the chosen in the name of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 62:1

Book of Enoch 62:2
And the Lord of spirits sat on His Throne of glory, and the Spirit of righteousness was poured out on Him, and the word of His mouth kills all the sinners and all the lawless, and they are destroyed in front of Him.
Book of Enoch 62:3
And on that Day, all the kings and the mighty and the exalted, and those who possess the earth, will stand up and they will see and recognize how He sits on the Throne of His glory. And the righteous are judged in righteousness in front of Him, and no idle word is spoken in front of Him.
Book of Enoch 62:4
And pain will come upon them as upon a woman in labor, for whom giving birth is difficult when her child enters the mouth of the womb, and she has difficulty giving birth.
Book of Enoch 62:5
And one half of them will look at the other, and they will be terrified, and will cast down their faces, and pain will take hold of them when they see that son of a woman sitting on the throne of his glory.
Book of Enoch 62:6
And the mighty kings, and all those who possess the earth, will praise and bless and exalt Him who rules everything that is hidden.
Book of Enoch 62:7
For from the beginning, that Son of man was hidden, and the Most High kept him in the presence of His power, and revealed him only to the chosen.
Book of Enoch 62:8
And the community of the holy and the chosen will be sown and all the chosen will stand before him on that Day.
Book of Enoch 62:9
And all the mighty kings, and the exalted, and those who rule the dry ground, will fall down before him on their faces and prostrate; and they will set their hopes on that Son of man, and will entreat him, and will petition for mercy from him.
Book of Enoch 62:10
But the Lord of spirits will then so press them that they will hasten to go out from before Him, and their faces will be filled with shame, and the darkness will grow deeper on their faces.
Book of Enoch 62:11
And the angels of punishment will take them so that they may repay them for the wrong that they did to His children and to His chosen ones.
Book of Enoch 62:12
And they will become a spectacle to the righteous and to His chosen ones; they will rejoice over them, for the anger of the Lord of spirits will rest upon them, and the sword of the Lord of spirits will be drunk with them.
Book of Enoch 62:13
And the righteous and the chosen will be saved on that Day and they will never see the faces of the sinners and the lawless from then on.
Book of Enoch 62:14
And the Lord of spirits will remain over them and they will dwell with that Son of man, and eat, and lie down, and rise up, forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 62:15

Book of Enoch 62:16
And this will be a Garment of Life from the Lord of spirits; and your garments will not wear out, and your glory will not fail in front of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 63:1
In those days, the mighty kings who possess the dry ground will entreat the angels of His punishment to whom they have been handed over so that they might give them a little respite. And so that they might fall down and prostrate in front of the Lord of spirits, and confess their sins in front of Him. *Shepherd of Hermas 17:5, *2:167, *6:27, *23:99 - 100, *23:107, *26:102, *32:12, *35:37, *39:58

Book of Enoch 63:6
And now we long for a respite, but do not find it; *Shepherd of Hermas 17:5 we are driven off and do not obtain it; and the light has passed away from before us, and darkness will be our dwelling forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 63:7
For we have not made our confession before Him, and we have not praised the name of the Lord of kings, and we have not praised the Lord for all His works, but our hopes have been on the sceptre of our kingdom, and of our glory.
Book of Enoch 63:8
And He does not save us on the day of our affliction and distress, and we find no respite to make our confession that our Lord is faithful in all His doings, and in all His judgments and His justice, and that His judgments show no partiality.

For they have learned all the secrets of the angels, and all the wrongdoings of the devils, and all their secret power, and all the power of those who practice magic arts, and the power of enchantments, and the power of those who cast molten images for all the earth.
Book of Enoch 65:7
And further, how silver is produced from the dust of the earth and how soft metal occurs on the earth.

For lead and tin are not produced from the earth, like the former; there is a spring which produces them, and an angel who stands in it, and that angel distributes them."
Book of Enoch 65:9
And after this, my great grandfather Enoch took hold of me with his hand and raised me, and said to me, "Go, for I have asked the Lord of spirits about this disturbance on the earth.
Book of Enoch 65:10
And He said to me, 'Because of their iniquity, their judgement has been completed, and they will no longer be counted before Me; because of the sorceries they have searched out and learned, the earth and those who dwell upon it will be destroyed.
Book of Enoch 65:11
And for these, there will be no place of refuge, forever, for they showed to them what is secret, and they have been condemned;' but not so for you, my son; the Lord of spirits knows that you are pure and innocent of this reproach concerning the secrets.
Book of Enoch 65:12
And He has established your name among the holy, and will keep you from among those who dwell upon the dry ground; and He has destined your offspring in righteousness, to be kings, and for great honors. And from your offspring, a spring of the righteous and holy will flow out, without number forever.
Book of Enoch 66:1
And after this, He showed me the angels of punishment, who were ready to come and release all the forces of the water, which is under the earth, in order to bring judgement and destruction on all those who reside and dwell upon the dry ground.
Book of Enoch 66:2
And the Lord of spirits commanded the angels who were coming out, not to raise their hands, but to keep watch; for those angels were in charge of the forces of the waters."
Book of Enoch 66:3
And I came out from before Enoch.
Book of Enoch 67:1
And in those days, the word of the Lord came to me, and He said to me, "Noah, behold; your lot has come up before Me, a lot without reproach, a lot of love and uprightness.
Book of Enoch 67:2
And now the angels are making a wooden structure, and when the angels come out from that task, I will put My hand on it, and keep it safe. And a change will take place so that the dry ground may not remain empty.
Book of Enoch 67:3
And I will establish your offspring before Me, forever and ever, and I will scatter those who dwell with you, over the face of the dry ground. I will not again put them to the test, on the face of the earth, but they will be blessed and increase on the dry ground in the name of the Lord."
Book of Enoch 67:4
And they will shut up those angels, who showed iniquity, in that burning valley, which my great grandfather Enoch had shown to me previously, in the west, near the mountains of gold and silver and iron and soft metal and tin.
Book of Enoch 67:5
And I saw that valley, in which there was a great disturbance, and a heaving of the waters.
Book of Enoch 67:6
And when all this happened, from the fiery molten metal, and the disturbance, which disturbed the waters in that place, a smell of sulfur was produced, and it was associated with those waters. And that valley of the angels, who led men astray, burns under the ground.
Book of Enoch 67:7
And through the valleys of that same area, rivers of fire flow out where those angels will be punished, who led those on the dry ground astray.
Book of Enoch 67:8
And in those days, those waters will serve the kings, and the mighty, and the exalted, and those who dwell upon dry ground, for the healing of soul and body, but also for the punishment of the spirit. And their spirits are so full of lust that they will be punished in their bodies, for they denied the Lord of spirits. And they see their punishment every day yet they do not believe in His name.
Book of Enoch 67:9
And the more their bodies are burnt, the more a change will come over their spirits, forever and ever; for no one can speak an idle word in front of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 67:10
For Judgement will come upon them, for they believe in the lust of their bodies, but deny the [Holy] Spirit of the Lord.
Book of Enoch 67:11
And those same waters will undergo a change in those days; for when those angels are punished in those days, the temperature of those springs of water will change, and when the angels come up, that water of the springs will change, and become cold.
Book of Enoch 67:12
And I heard the holy Michael answering and saying, "This Judgement, with which the angels are judged, is a testimony for the kings and the mighty who possess the dry ground.
Book of Enoch 67:13
For these waters of Judgement serve for the healing of the bodies of the kings, and for the lust of their bodies; but they do not see, and do not believe, that these waters will change, and will become a Fire which burns forever."
Book of Enoch 68:1
And after this, my great grandfather Enoch gave me the explanation of all the secrets, in a Book, and the parables that had been given to him; and he put them together for me, in the words of the Book of Parables.
Book of Enoch 68:2
And on that Day, the holy Michael answered Raphael, saying, "The power of the spirit seizes me and makes me tremble because of the harshness of the Judgement of the angels. Who can endure the harshness of the Judgement which has been executed and before which they melt with fear?"
Book of Enoch 68:3
And the holy Michael answered Raphael again and said to him, "Who would not soften his heart over it, and whose mind would not be disturbed by this word? Judgement has gone out against them, upon those whom they have led out like this."
Book of Enoch 68:4
But it came to pass, when he stood before the Lord of spirits, that the holy Michael spoke as follows to Raphael, "I will not take their part under the eye of the Lord, for the Lord of spirits is angry with them, because they act as if they were the Lord.
Book of Enoch 68:5
Because of this, the hidden Judgement will come upon them forever and ever; for neither any other angel, nor any man, will receive their lot, but they alone have received their Judgement forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 69:1
And after this Judgement, I will terrify them, and make them tremble, for they have shown this to those who dwell upon the dry ground."
Book of Enoch 69:2
And behold, the names of those angels, the first of them is Semyaza, and the second Artaqifa, and the third Armen, and the fourth Kokabiel, and the fifth Turiel, and the sixth Ramiel, and the seventh Daniel, and the eighth Nuqael, and the ninth Baraqiel, and the tenth Azazel, and the eleventh Armaros, the twelfth Batriel, the thirteenth Basasael, the fourteenth Ananel, the fifteenth Turiel, the sixteenth Samsiel, the seventeenth Yetarel, the eighteenth Tumiel, the nineteenth Turiel, the twentieth Rumiel, the twenty first Azazel.
Book of Enoch 69:3
And these are the chiefs of their angels, and the names of the leaders of hundreds, and their leaders of fifties, and their leaders of tens.
Book of Enoch 69:4
The name of the first is Yequn; this is the one who led astray all the children of the holy angels, and he brought them down onto the dry ground, and led them astray through the daughters of men.
Book of Enoch 69:5
And the name of the second is Asbeel; this one suggested an evil plan to the children of the holy angels, and led them astray, so that they corrupted their bodies with the daughters of men.
Book of Enoch 69:6
And the name of the third is Gadreel; this is the one that showed all the deadly blows to the sons of men. And he led Eve astray. And he showed the weapons of death to the children of men, the shield and the breastplate, and the sword for slaughter, and all the weapons of death to the sons of men.
Book of Enoch 69:7
And from his hand, they have gone out against those who dwell the dry ground from that time and forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 69:8
And the name of the fourth is Penemue; this one showed the sons of men the bitter and the sweet and showed them all the secrets of their wisdom.
Book of Enoch 69:9
He taught men the art of writing with ink and paper, and many have gone astray through this, from eternity to eternity, and to this day.
Book of Enoch 69:10
For men were not created for this, that they should confirm their faith like this, with pen and ink.
Book of Enoch 69:11
For men were created no differently from the angels, so that they might remain righteous and pure, and death, which destroys everything, would not have touched them; but they are being destroyed through this knowledge of theirs and death consumes them through this power.
Book of Enoch 69:12
And the name of the fifth is Kasdeyae; this one showed the sons of men all the evil blows of the spirits and the demons, and the blows that attack the embryo in the womb so that it miscarries. And the blows that attack the soul, the bite of the serpent. And the blows that occur at midday, and the son of the serpent - who is strong.
Book of Enoch 69:13
And this is the task of Kesbeel, the chief of the oath, who showed the oath to the holy ones when he dwelt on high in glory. And his name is Beqa.
Book of Enoch 69:14
And this one told the holy Michael that he should show him the secret name so that they might mention it in the oath, so that those who showed the sons of men everything that is secret, trembled before that name and oath.
Book of Enoch 69:15
And this is the power of this oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed this oath, Akae, in the charge of the holy Michael.
Book of Enoch 69:16
And these are the secrets of this oath, and they are strong through this oath, and heaven was suspended, before the world was created, and forever.
Book of Enoch 69:17
And the earth was founded upon the water through it, and beautiful waters come from the hidden recesses of the mountains, from the creation of the world and forever.
Book of Enoch 69:18
And the sea was created through that oath, and as its foundation, for the time of anger, He placed the sand for it, and it does not go beyond it, from the creation of the world and forever.
Book of Enoch 69:19
And the deeps were made firm through that oath, and they stand and do not move from their place, from the creation of the world and forever.
Book of Enoch 69:20
And the sun and the moon complete their course through that oath and do not transgress their command, from the creation of the world and forever.
Book of Enoch 69:21
And the stars complete their course through that oath, and He calls their names, and they answer Him, from the creation of the world and forever.
Book of Enoch 69:22
And likewise, the spirits of the water, the winds, and of all the breezes and their paths, according to all the groups of the spirits.
Book of Enoch 69:23
And the storehouses of the sound of thunder are kept there, and of the light of the lightning; and the storehouses of the hail are kept there, and the hoarfrost, and the storehouses of the mist, and the storehouses of the rain and dew.
Book of Enoch 69:24
And all these make their confession and give thanks in front of the Lord of spirits and sing praises with all their power. And their food consists of all their thanksgiving, and they give thanks, praise, and exalt [God], *17:44, *24:41, *57:1, *59:1, *61:1, *62:1, *64:1 in the name of the Lord of spirits, forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 69:25
And this oath is strong over them and they are kept safe through it and their courses are not disturbed.
Book of Enoch 69:26
And they had great joy and they blessed, praised, and exalted, because the name of that Son of man had been revealed to them.
Book of Enoch 69:27
And he sat on the throne of his glory and the whole judgement was given to the Son of man, and he will cause the sinners to pass away and be destroyed from the face of the earth.
Book of Enoch 69:28
And those who led the world astray will be bound in chains *14:49 and will be shut up in the assembly place of their destruction, and all their works will pass away from the face of the earth.
Book of Enoch 69:29
And from then on, there will be nothing corruptible. For that Son of man has appeared, and has sat on the throne of his glory, and everything evil will pass away and go from in front of him; and the word of that Son of man will be strong in front of the Lord of spirits. This is the third parable of Enoch.
Book of Enoch 70:1
And it came to pass, after this, that while he was living, his name was lifted from those who dwell upon the dry ground to the presence of that Son of man, and to the presence of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 70:2
And he was lifted on the chariots of the spirit, and his name vanished from among them.
Book of Enoch 70:3
And from that day, I was not counted among them, and He placed me between two winds, between the north and the west, where the angels took the cords to measure for me the place for the chosen and the righteous.
Book of Enoch 70:4
And I saw the first fathers and the righteous there, who, from the beginning of the world, dwelt in that place.
Book of Enoch 71:1
And it came to pass after this that my spirit was carried off, and it went up into the heavens. I saw the sons of the holy angels treading upon flames of fire, their garments were white, and their clothing, and the light of their face was like snow.
Book of Enoch 71:2
And I saw two rivers of fire, and the light of that fire shone like a hyacinth, and I fell upon my face in front of the Lord of spirits.
Book of Enoch 71:3
And the angel Michael, one of the archangels, took hold of me by my right hand, and raised me and led me out to all the secrets of mercy, and the secrets of righteousness.
Book of Enoch 71:4
And he showed me all the secrets of the ends of heaven and all the storehouses of the stars and the lights from where they come out from below the holy ones.
Book of Enoch 71:5
And the [Holy] Spirit carried Enoch off to the highest heaven, and I saw there, in the middle of that light, something built of crystal stones, and in the middle of those stones - tongues of living fire.
Book of Enoch 71:6
And my spirit saw a circle of fire, which surrounded that house; rivers came from its four sides, full of living fire, and they surrounded that house.
Book of Enoch 71:7
And the Seraphim and the cherubim were round about, and the Ophannim; these are those who do not sleep but keep watch over the Throne of His glory.
Book of Enoch 71:8
And I saw angels who could not be counted, a thousand thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand, surrounding that house. And Michael, and Raphael, and Gabriel, and Phanuel, and the holy angels who are in the heavens above, went in and out of that house.
Book of Enoch 71:9
And Michael, and Raphael, and Gabriel, and Phanuel, and many holy angels without number, came out from that house.
Book of Enoch 71:10
And the Head of Days with them, His head white and pure like wool, and His garments - indescribable.
Book of Enoch 71:11
And I fell upon my face, and my whole body melted, and my spirit was transformed; and I cried out in a loud voice, in the spirit of power, and I blessed, praised, and exalted.
Book of Enoch 71:12
And these blessings, which came out from my mouth, were pleasing before that Head of Days.
Book of Enoch 71:13
And that Head of Days came with Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel, and thousands and tens of thousands of angels without number.
Book of Enoch 71:14
And that angel came to me and greeted me with his voice, and said to me, "You are the Son of man who was born to righteousness, and righteousness remains over you and the righteousness of the Head of Days will not leave you."
Book of Enoch 71:15
And he said to me, "He proclaims peace to you in the name of the world which is to come, for from there, peace has come out from the creation of the world, and so you will have it forever and forever and ever.
Book of Enoch 71:16
And all will walk according to your way, inasmuch as righteousness will never leave you. Their dwelling will be with you, and their lot with you, and they will not be separated from you forever and forever and ever. And so there will be length of days with that Son of man, and the righteous will have peace, and the righteous will have an upright way in the name of the Lord of spirits, forever and ever."
Book of Enoch 72:1
The Book of the revolutions of the lights of heaven. Each as it is; according to their classes, according to their period of rule and their times, according to their names and places of origin, and according to their months. That Uriel, the holy angel who was with me, and is their leader, showed to me. And he showed me all their regulations, exactly as they are, for each year of the world and forever, until the new creation will be made which will last forever.
Book of Enoch 72:2
And this is the first law of the lights. The light called the sun; its rising is in the gates of heaven that are towards the east, and its setting is in the western gates of heaven.
Book of Enoch 72:3
And I saw six gates from which the sun rises, and six gates in which the sun sets, and the moon also rises and sets in those gates, and the leaders of the stars together with those whom they lead. There are six in the east and six in the west, all exactly in place, one next to the other; and there are many windows to the south and the north of those gates.
Book of Enoch 72:4
And the greater light rises there first, named the sun, and its disc is like the disc of heaven, and the whole of it is full of a fire which gives light and warmth.
Book of Enoch 72:5
The wind blows the chariots on which it ascends, and the sun goes down in the heaven and returns through the north in order to reach the east, and is led so that it comes to the appropriate gate and shines in the heaven.
Book of Enoch 72:6
It rises in this way in the first month, in the large gate, namely; it rises through the fourth of those six gates that are towards the east.
Book of Enoch 72:7
And in that fourth gate, through which the sun rises in the first month, there are twelve window-openings from which, whenever they are opened, flames come out.
Book of Enoch 72:8
When the sun rises in heaven, it goes out through that fourth gate for thirty days, and exactly in the fourth gate, in the west of heaven, it goes down.
Book of Enoch 72:9
And in those days, the day grows longer daily, and the night grows shorter nightly, until the thirtieth morning.
Book of Enoch 72:10
And on that day, the day becomes longer than the night by a double part, and the day amounts to exactly ten parts, and the night amounts to eight parts.
Book of Enoch 72:11
And the sun rises from that fourth gate, and sets in the fourth gate, and returns to the fifth gate in the east for thirty mornings; and it rises from it and sets in the fifth gate.
Book of Enoch 72:12
And then the day becomes longer by two parts, and the day amounts to eleven parts, and the night becomes shorter and amounts to seven parts.
Book of Enoch 72:13
And the sun returns to the east and comes to the sixth gate, and rises and sets in the sixth gate for thirty one mornings, because of its sign.
Book of Enoch 72:14
And on that day, the day becomes longer than the night, and the day becomes double the night; and the day amounts to twelve parts, and the night becomes shorter and amounts to six parts.
Book of Enoch 72:15
And the sun rises up so that the day may grow shorter, and the night longer; and the sun returns to the east, and comes to the sixth gate, and rises from it, and sets, for thirty mornings.
Book of Enoch 72:16
And when thirty mornings have been completed, the day becomes shorter, by exactly one part; and the day amounts to eleven parts, and the night to seven parts.
Book of Enoch 72:17
And the sun goes out from the west, through that sixth gate, and goes to the east, and rises in the fifth gate for thirty mornings, and it sets in the west again, in the fifth gate in the west.
Book of Enoch 72:18
On that day, the day becomes shorter by two parts, and the day amounts to ten parts, and the night to eight parts.
Book of Enoch 72:19
And the sun rises from that fifth gate, and sets in the fifth gate in the west, and rises in the fourth gate for thirty one mornings because of its sign, and sets in the west.
Book of Enoch 72:20
On that day, the day becomes equal with the night, and is of equal length; and the night amounts to nine parts, and the day to nine parts.
Book of Enoch 72:21
And the sun rises from that gate and sets in the west, and returns to the east, and rises in the third gate for thirty mornings, and sets in the west in the third gate.
Book of Enoch 72:22
And the sun rises from that third gate, and sets in the third gate in the west, and returns to the east; and the sun rises in the second gate in the east for thirty mornings, and likewise, it sets in the second gate, in the west of heaven.
Book of Enoch 72:24
And on that day, the night amounts to eleven parts and the day to seven parts.
Book of Enoch 72:25
And the sun rises on that day from the second gate, and sets in the west in the second gate, and returns to the east to the first gate for thirty one mornings, then sets in the west in the first gate.
Book of Enoch 72:26
And on that day, the night becomes longer, and becomes double the day; and the night amounts to exactly twelve parts, and the day to six parts.
Book of Enoch 72:27
And with this, the sun has completed the divisions of its journey, and it turns back again, along these divisions of its journey; and it comes through that first gate for thirty mornings, and sets in the west opposite it.
Book of Enoch 72:28
And on that day, the night becomes shorter in length by one part, and amounts to eleven parts, and the day to seven parts.
Book of Enoch 72:29
And the sun returns and comes to the second gate in the east, and it returns along those divisions of its journey for thirty mornings, rising and setting.
Book of Enoch 72:30
And on that day, the night becomes shorter in length and the night amounts to ten parts and the day to eight parts.
Book of Enoch 72:31
And on that day, the sun rises from the second gate, and sets in the west, and returns to the east, and rises in the third gate for thirty one mornings, and sets in the west of the heaven.
Book of Enoch 72:32
And on that day, the night becomes shorter, and amounts to nine parts, and the day amounts to nine parts, and the night becomes equal with the day. And the year amounts to exactly three hundred and sixty four days.
Book of Enoch 72:33
And the length of the day and the night, and the shortness of the day and the night - they are different because of the journey of the sun.
Book of Enoch 72:34
Because of it, its journey becomes longer daily, and shorter nightly.
Book of Enoch 72:35
And this is the law and the journey of the sun and its return, as often as it returns; it returns and rises sixty times, that is the great eternal light, which forever and ever is named the sun.
Book of Enoch 72:36
And this that rises is the great light, which is named after its appearance, as the Lord commanded.
Book of Enoch 72:37
And thus it rises and sets; it neither decreases, nor rests, but runs day and night in its chariot. And its light is seven times brighter than that of the moon but the two are equal in size.
Book of Enoch 73:1
And I saw another law after this law, for the lesser light, named the moon.
Book of Enoch 73:2
And its disc is like the disc of the sun, and the wind blows its chariot on which it rides, and light is given to it in fixed measure.
Book of Enoch 73:3
And every month its rising and setting change, and its days are as the days of the sun, and when its light is uniformly full, it is a seventh part the light of the sun.
Book of Enoch 73:4
And thus it rises, and its first phase is towards the east; it rises on the thirtieth morning. And it appears on that day, and becomes the first phase of the moon for you, on the thirtieth morning, together with the sun in the gate through which the sun rises.
Book of Enoch 73:5
And a half goes forth with a seventh part, and its entire disc is empty, without light, except for a seventh part, a fourteenth part of its light.
Book of Enoch 73:6
And on the day that it receives a seventh part and a half of its light, its light amounts to a seventh, and a seventh part and a half.
Book of Enoch 73:7
It sets with the sun, and when the sun rises, the moon rises with it, and receives a half of one part of light. And on that night at the beginning of its morning, at the beginning of the moon's day, the moon sets with the sun, and is dark on that night in six and seven parts and a half.
Book of Enoch 73:8
And it rises on that day, with exactly a seventh part, goes out, recedes from the rising of the sun, and becomes bright on the remainder of its days, in the other six and seven parts.
Book of Enoch 74:1
And I saw another journey and law for it, in that it makes its monthly journey according to this law.
Book of Enoch 74:2
And Uriel, the holy angel who is leader of them all, showed me everything, and I wrote down their positions as he showed them to me. And I wrote down their months as they are, and the appearance of their light, until fifteen days have been completed.
Book of Enoch 74:3
It makes all its darkness full in seventh parts, and it makes all its light full in seventh parts, in the east and in the west.
Book of Enoch 74:4
And in certain months, it changes its setting, and in certain months, it follows its own individual course.
Book of Enoch 74:5
It sets with the sun in two months, in those two gates that are in the middle, in the third and in the fourth gate.
Book of Enoch 74:6
It goes out for seven days and turns back, and returns again to the gate from which the sun rises. And it makes all its light full in that gate, and it recedes from the sun and comes in eight days to the sixth gate from which the sun rises.
Book of Enoch 74:7
And when the sun rises from the fourth gate, the moon goes out for seven days, until it rises from the fifth gate. And again it returns to the fourth gate in seven days, makes all its light full, recedes, and comes to the first gate in eight days.
Book of Enoch 74:8
And again it returns in seven days to the fourth gate from which the sun rises.
Book of Enoch 74:9
Thus I saw their positions; how the moon rose and the sun set in those days.
Book of Enoch 74:10
And if five years are added together, the sun has an excess of thirty days. For each year, of the five years, there are three hundred and sixty four days.
Book of Enoch 74:11
And the excess, of the sun and the stars, comes to six days. In five years, with six days each, they have an excess of thirty days, and the moon falls behind the sun and the stars by thirty days.
Book of Enoch 74:12
And the moon conducts the years exactly, all of them according to their eternal positions; they are neither early nor late, even by one day, but change the year in exactly 364 days.
Book of Enoch 74:13
In three years, there are 1,092 days, and 1,820 days in five years, so that there are 2,912 days in eight years.
Book of Enoch 74:14
For the moon alone, the days come to 1,062 days in three years, and it is fifty days behind in five years.
Book of Enoch 74:15
And there are 1,770 days in five years so that the days in eight years for the moon amount to 2,832 days.
Book of Enoch 74:16
For the difference in eight years is eighty days, and all the days that the moon is behind in eight years are eighty days. And the year is completed exactly, in accordance with their positions, and the positions of the sun, in that they rise from the gates from which the sun rises and sets for thirty days.
Book of Enoch 75:1
And the leaders of the tens of thousands, who are in charge of the whole of creation, and in charge of all the stars, and also the four days which are added, and are not separated from their position, according to the whole reckoning of the year. And these serve on the four days that are not counted in the reckoning of the year.
Book of Enoch 75:2
And because of them, men go wrong in them. For these lights really serve in the stations of the world, one in the first gate, and one in the third gate, and one in the fourth gate, and one in the sixth gate. And the exact harmony of the world is completed in the separate 364 stations of the world.
Book of Enoch 75:3
For the signs, and the times, and the years, and the days were shown to me by the angel Uriel, whom the Lord of eternal glory has placed in charge of all the lights of heaven. In heaven and in the world, so that they might rule on the face of heaven, and appear over the earth, and be leaders of day and night; the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the serving creatures who revolve in all the chariots of heaven.
Book of Enoch 75:4
Likewise, Uriel showed twelve gate openings to me in the disc of the chariot of the sun, in the heaven, from which the rays of the sun come out. And from them, heat comes out over the earth when they are opened at the times that are appointed for them.
Book of Enoch 75:5
And there are openings for the winds, and for the spirit of the dew, when they are opened at their times, opened in heaven, at the ends of the earth.
Book of Enoch 75:6
I saw twelve gates in heaven, at the ends of the earth, from which the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and all the works of heaven go out in the east and the west.
Book of Enoch 75:7
And there are many window openings to the north and to the south, and each window, at its appointed time, sends out heat corresponding to those gates, from which the stars go out, in accordance with His command to them, and in which they set according to their number.
Book of Enoch 75:8
And I saw chariots in heaven, running in the world above to those gates in which the stars turn, which never set.
Book of Enoch 75:9
And one is bigger than all the others. And it goes round through the whole world.
Book of Enoch 76:1
And at the ends of the earth, I saw twelve gates open to all the winds, from which the winds come out and blow over the earth.
Book of Enoch 76:2
Three of them open in the front of heaven, and three in the back, and three on the right of heaven, and three on the left.
Book of Enoch 76:3
And the first three are those towards the east, and then the three towards the north, and the three after these towards the south, and the three in the west.
Book of Enoch 76:4
Winds of blessing and peace come through four of them. And winds of punishment come from the other eight; they bring devastation to the whole earth when they are sent, and to the water which is on it, and to all those who dwell upon it, and to everything that is in the water and on dry ground.
Book of Enoch 76:5
And the first wind from those gates, called the east wind, comes out through the first gate, which is towards the east. The one that comes from the south brings devastation, drought, heat, and destruction.
Book of Enoch 76:6
And through the second gate in the middle comes what is right. And rain, and fruitfulness, and prosperity, and dew come from it. And through the third gate, which is towards the north, cold and drought come.
Book of Enoch 76:7
And after these, the winds towards the south come out through three gates. First, through the first of the gates, which inclines towards the east, comes a hot wind.
Book of Enoch 76:8
And through the middle gate, which is next to it, pleasant fragrances and dew, and rain, and prosperity, and life come.
Book of Enoch 76:9
And through the third gate, which is towards the west, dew and rain, and locusts, and devastation come.
Book of Enoch 76:10
And after these, the winds towards the north, from the seventh gate, which is towards the east, dew and rain, locusts and devastation come.
Book of Enoch 76:11
And through the gate exactly in the middle, rain and dew, and life, and prosperity come. And through the third gate, which is towards the west, mist and hoarfrost, and snow, and rain, and dew, and locusts come.
Book of Enoch 76:12
And after these, the winds towards the west. Through the first gate, which inclines towards the north, dew and rain, and hoarfrost, and cold, and snow, and frost come. And from the middle gate, dew and rain, prosperity and blessing come. And through the last gate, which is towards the south, drought and devastation, burning and destruction come. And thus the twelve gates, of the four quarters of heaven are complete. And all their laws, and all their punishments, and all their benefits, I have shown to you, my son Methuselah.
Book of Enoch 77:1
They called the first quarter eastern because it is the first, and they call the second the south because the Most High descends there, and especially the One who is blessed forever descends there.
Book of Enoch 77:2
And the western quarter is called waning because all the lights of heaven wane and go down there.
Book of Enoch 77:3
And the fourth quarter, named the north, is divided into three parts. And the first of them is the dwelling place for men; and the second contains seas of water, and the deeps, and the forests, and rivers, and darkness and mist; and the third part contains the Garden of Righteousness.
Book of Enoch 77:4
I saw seven high mountains, which were higher than all other mountains on the earth; and snow comes from them. And days and times and years pass away and go by.
Book of Enoch 77:5
I saw seven rivers on the earth, larger than all the other rivers; one of them comes from the east and pours out its waters into the Great Sea.
Book of Enoch 77:6
And two of them come from the north to the sea and pour out their water into the Erythraean Sea in the east.
Book of Enoch 77:7
And the remaining four flow out on the side of the north to their seas, two to the Erythraean Sea, and two into the Great Sea, and they discharge themselves there, and not into the wilderness, as some say.
Book of Enoch 77:8
I saw seven large islands, in the sea and on the land, two on the land, and five in the Great Sea.
Book of Enoch 78:1
The names of the sun are as follows, the first [is] Oryares, and the second [is] Tomases.
Book of Enoch 78:2
The moon has four names, the first name is Asonya, and the second [is] Ebla, and the third [is] Benase, and the fourth [is] Era'e.
Book of Enoch 78:3
These are the two great lights; their disc is like the disc of heaven and the two are equal in size.
Book of Enoch 78:4
Seven parts of light are in the disc of the sun, which are added to it more than to the moon, and light is transferred to the moon in fixed measure until a seventh part of the sun is exhausted.
Book of Enoch 78:5
And they set, go into the gates of the west, go round through the north, and rise through the gates of the east, on the face of heaven.
Book of Enoch 78:6
And when the moon rises, it appears in the heaven, and has a half of a seventh part of light, and it makes all its light full on the fourteenth day.
Book of Enoch 78:7
And fifteen parts of light are transferred to it, until its light is full on the fifteenth day, according to the sign of the year, and amounts to fifteen parts. And the moon comes into being by halves of a seventh part.
Book of Enoch 78:8
And in its waning on the first day, it decreases to fourteen parts of its light. And on the second [it decreases] to thirteen parts, and on the third [it decreases] to twelve parts, on the fourth [it decreases] to eleven parts, and on the fifth [it decreases] to ten parts, and on the sixth [it decreases] to nine parts, and on the seventh [it decreases] to eight parts, and on the eighth [it decreases] to seven parts, and on the ninth [it decreases] to six parts, and on the tenth [it decreases] to five parts, and on the eleventh [it decreases] to four parts, and on the twelfth [it decreases] to three, and on the thirteenth [it decreases] to two, and on the fourteenth [it decreases] to half of a seventh part. And all the light that remains from the total disappears on the fifteenth day.
Book of Enoch 78:9
And in certain months the moon has twenty nine days and [it has] twenty eight [days] once.
Book of Enoch 78:10
And Uriel showed me another law, when light is transferred to the moon, and on which side it is transferred from the sun.
Book of Enoch 78:11
All the time that the moon is increasing in its light, it transfers as it becomes opposite the sun, until its light is full in the heaven in fourteen days; and when it is all ablaze, its light is full in the heaven.
Book of Enoch 78:12
And on the first day it is called the new moon, for on that, daylight rises on it.
Book of Enoch 78:13
And its light becomes full exactly on the day that as the sun goes down in the west, it rises from the east for the night. And the moon shines for the whole night until the sun rises opposite it, and the moon is seen opposite the sun.
Book of Enoch 78:14
And on the side on which the light of the moon appears, there again it wanes, until all its light disappears, and the days of the moon end and its disc remains empty without light.
Book of Enoch 78:15
And for three months, at its proper time, it achieves thirty days, and for three months, it achieves twenty nine days, during which it completes its waning, in the first period, in the first gate, it achieves one hundred and seventy seven days.
Book of Enoch 78:16
And in the time of its rising, for three months, it appears with thirty days in each month. And for three months it appears with twenty nine days in each month. By night, for twenty days each time, it looks like a man, and by day like heaven, for there is nothing else in it except its light.
Book of Enoch 79:1
And now, my son Methuselah, I have shown you everything, and the whole law of the stars of heaven is complete.
Book of Enoch 79:2
And he showed me the whole law for these, for every day, and for every time, and for every rule, and for every year, and for the end thereof, according to its command, for every month and every week.
Book of Enoch 79:3
And the waning of the moon, which occurs in the sixth gate, for its light becomes full in that sixth gate, and after that it is the beginning of the month.
Book of Enoch 79:4
And the waning, which occurs in the first gate, at its proper time, until one hundred and seventy seven days are complete, or by weeks; twenty five weeks and two days.
Book of Enoch 79:5
And how it falls behind the sun, according to the law of the stars, by exactly five days in one period of time, when it has completed the pathway you have seen.
Book of Enoch 79:6
Such is the appearance and likeness of every light, which Uriel, the great angel, who is their leader, showed to me.
Book of Enoch 80:1
And in those days, Uriel answered me and said to me, "Behold, I have shown you everything, O Enoch. And I have revealed everything to you, so that you may see this sun, and this moon, and those who lead the stars of heaven, and all those who turn them, their tasks and their times and their rising.
Book of Enoch 80:2
But in the days of the sinners, the years will become shorter, *Barnabas 4:3 and their seed will be late on their land, and on their fields. And all things on the earth will change and will not appear at their proper time. And the rain will be withheld and heaven will retain it.
Book of Enoch 80:3
And in those times, the fruits of the earth will be late, and will not grow at their proper time, and the fruits of the trees will be withheld at their proper time.
Book of Enoch 80:4
And the moon will change its customary practice and will not appear at its proper time.
Book of Enoch 80:5
But in those days, it will appear in heaven, come on top of a large chariot in the west, and shine with more than normal brightness.
Book of Enoch 80:6
And many heads of the stars will go astray in command. And these will change their courses and their activities and will not appear at the times that have been prescribed for them.
Book of Enoch 80:7
And the entire law of the stars will be closed to the sinners, and the thoughts of those who dwell upon the earth will go astray over them, and they will turn from all their ways and will go astray, and will think them gods.
Book of Enoch 80:8
And many evils will overtake them and punishment will come upon them to destroy them all."
Book of Enoch 81:1
And he said to me, "O Enoch, look at the book of the tablets of heaven and read what is written upon them, and note every individual fact."
Book of Enoch 81:2
And I looked at everything that was written and I noted everything. And I read the book and everything that was written in it, all the deeds of men, and all the children of flesh who will be upon the earth, for all the generations of eternity.
Book of Enoch 81:3
And then I immediately blessed the Lord, the Eternal King of glory, in that He has made all the works of the world, and I praised the Lord because of His patience, and I blessed Him on account of the sons of Adam.
Book of Enoch 81:4
And at that time I said, "Blessed is the man who dies righteous and good, concerning whom no book of iniquity has been written, and against whom no guilt has been found."
Book of Enoch 81:5
And these three holy ones brought me and set me on the earth in front of the door of my house, and said to me, "Tell everything to your son Methuselah, and show all your children that no flesh is righteous before the Lord, for He created them.
Book of Enoch 81:6
For we will leave you with your children for one year, until you have regained your strength, so that you may teach your children and write these things down for them, and testify to all your children. And we will take you from amongst them in the second year.
Book of Enoch 81:7
Let your heart be strong, for the good will proclaim righteousness to the good, the righteous will rejoice with the righteous and they will wish each other well.
Book of Enoch 81:8
But the sinner will die with the sinner and the apostate will sink with the apostate.
Book of Enoch 81:9
And those who practice righteousness will die because of the deeds of men, and will be gathered in because of the deeds of the impious."
Book of Enoch 82:2
I have given wisdom to you, and to your children, and to those who will be your children, so that they may give it to their children, for all the generations, forever, this wisdom that is beyond their thoughts.
Book of Enoch 82:3
And those who understand it will not sleep, but will incline their ears so that they may learn this wisdom, and it will be better for those who eat from it than good food.
Book of Enoch 82:4
All the righteous are blessed, all those who walk in the way of righteousness and do not sin like the sinners are blessed. In the numbering of all their days in which the sun journeys in heaven, coming in and out, through the gates of heaven, for thirty days. With the leaders of the thousands, of this order of stars, and with the four which are added, and divided between the four seasons of the year, which lead them and appear with them on four days.
Book of Enoch 82:5
Because of them, men go wrong, and they do not reckon them in the reckoning of the whole year; for men go wrong in respect of them and do not know them exactly.
Book of Enoch 82:6
For they belong in the reckoning of the year, and are truly recorded forever, one in the first gate, and one in the third, and one in the fourth and one in the sixth. And the year is completed in 364 days.
Book of Enoch 82:7
And the account of it is true, and the recorded reckoning of it is exact, for the lights, and the months, and the feasts, and the years, and the days. Uriel showed me and inspired me; he to whom the Lord of the whole created world gave commands about the host of heaven for me.
Book of Enoch 82:8
And He has power in heaven, over night and day, to cause light to shine on men; the sun, the moon, and the stars, and all the powers of heaven, *7:54, *16:12, *31:29 which rotate in their orbits. *14:33, *21:33, *35:13
Book of Enoch 82:9
And this is the law of the stars, which set in their places, at their times, and at their feasts, and in their months.
Book of Enoch 82:10
And these are the names of those who lead them, who keep watch, so that they appear at their times, and in their orders, and in their months, and in their periods of rule, and in their positions.
Book of Enoch 82:11
Their four leaders, who divide the four parts of the year, appear first; and after them, the twelve leaders of the orders, who divide the months and the years into 364 days, with the heads over thousands, who separate the days. And for the four days that are added to them, there are the leaders who separate the four parts of the year.
Book of Enoch 82:12
And as for these heads over thousands, one is added between the leader and the led, but their leaders make the separation.
Book of Enoch 82:13
And these are the names of the leaders who separate the four appointed parts of the year, Melkiel, Helemmelek, Meleyal, and Narel.
Book of Enoch 82:14
And the names of those whom they lead, Adnarel, Iyasusael, Iylumiel; these three follow behind the leaders of the orders. And all others follow behind the three leaders of the orders, who follow behind those leaders of positions, who separate the four parts of the year.
Book of Enoch 82:15
In the beginning of the year, Melkiel rises first and rules, who is called the southern sun - and all the days of his period, during which he rules, are ninety one.
Book of Enoch 82:16
And these are the signs of the days that are to be seen on the earth, in the days of his period of rule; sweat, and heat, and calm. And all the trees bear fruit, and leaves appear on all the trees, and the wheat harvest, and rose flowers. And all the flowers bloom in the field, but the trees of winter are withered.
Book of Enoch 82:17
And these are the names of the leaders who are under them: Berkeel, Zelebsael, and another one who is added, a head over a thousand, named Heloyaseph. And the days of the period of rule of this one are complete.
Book of Enoch 82:18
The second leader, after him, is Helemmelec, whom they call the shining sun; and all the days of his light are ninety one.
Book of Enoch 82:19
And these are the signs of the days on earth: heat, and drought. And the trees bring their fruit to ripeness and maturity and make their fruit dry. And the sheep mate and become pregnant. And men gather all the fruits of the earth, and everything that is in the fields, and the vats of wine. And these things occur in the days of his period of rule.
Book of Enoch 82:20
And these are the names, and the orders, and the leaders of these heads over thousands, Gedaeyal, Keel, and Heel. And the name of the head over a thousand, who is added to them, is Asfael. And the days of his period of rule are complete.
Book of Enoch 83:1
And now, my son Methuselah, I will show you all the visions that I saw, recounting them before you.
Book of Enoch 83:2
I saw two visions before I took a wife, and neither one was like the other. For the first time, when I learned the art of writing, and for the second time, before I took your mother. I saw a terrible vision and I made supplication to the Lord concerning this.
Book of Enoch 83:3
I had lain down in the house of my grandfather, Malalel, when I saw in a vision how heaven was thrown down, and removed, and it fell upon the earth.
Book of Enoch 83:4
And when it fell upon the earth, I saw how the earth was swallowed up in a great abyss, and mountains were suspended on mountains, and hills sank down upon hills, and tall trees were torn up by their roots, and were thrown down, and sank into the abyss.
Book of Enoch 83:5
And then speech fell into my mouth, and I raised my voice to cry out and said, "The earth is destroyed!"
Book of Enoch 83:6
And my grandfather, Malalel, roused me, since I lay near him, and said to me, "Why did you cry out so, my son, and why do you moan so?"
Book of Enoch 83:7
And I recounted the whole vision to him, which I had seen, and he said to me, "You have seen a terrible thing, my son! Your dream vision concerns the secrets of all the sin of the earth; it is about to sink into the abyss and be utterly destroyed.
Book of Enoch 83:8
And now, my son, rise and make supplication to the Lord of glory, for you are faithful, so that a remnant may be left on the earth and so that He may not wipe out the whole earth.
Book of Enoch 83:9
My son, all this will come upon the earth from heaven, and there will be great destruction upon the earth."
Book of Enoch 83:10
And then I rose and prayed, and made supplication, and wrote my prayer down for the generations of eternity, and I will show everything to you, my son Methuselah. And when I went out below and saw the heaven, and the sun rising in the east, and the moon setting in the west, and some stars, and the whole earth, and everything as He knew it since the beginning. Then I blessed the Lord of Judgement and ascribed majesty to Him, for He makes the sun come out from the windows of the east, so that it ascends and rises on the face of heaven, and follows the path which has been shown to it.
Book of Enoch 84:1
And I raised my hands in righteousness and I blessed the Holy and Great One. And I spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with the tongue of flesh, which God has made for men born of flesh so that they might speak with it; and He has given them breath, and a tongue, and a mouth, so that they might speak with them.
Book of Enoch 84:2
"You are blessed, O Lord King, and great and powerful in Your majesty, Lord of the whole creation of heaven, King of kings, and God of the whole world! And Your kingly authority, and Your sovereignty and Your majesty will last forever, and forever and ever, and Your power, for all generations. And all the heavens are Your Throne forever, and the whole earth Your footstool *Isaiah 66:1, *Matthew 5:34 - 35 forever, and ever and ever.
Book of Enoch 84:3
For You made and You rule everything, and nothing is too hard for You, and no wisdom escapes You; it does not turn away from Your Throne nor from Your presence. And You know and see and hear everything, and nothing is hidden from You, for You see everything.
Book of Enoch 84:4
And now the angels of Your heaven are doing wrong and Your anger rests upon the flesh of men until the Day of the Great Judgement.
Book of Enoch 84:5
And now, O God, Lord, and Great King, I entreat and ask that You will fulfill my prayer to leave me a posterity on earth and not to wipe out all the flesh of men and make the earth empty so that there is destruction forever.
Book of Enoch 84:6
And now, my Lord, wipe out the flesh that has provoked Your anger from the earth, but establish the flesh of righteousness and uprightness as a seed bearing plant forever. And do not hide Your Face from the prayer of Your servant, *19:93, *21:26 O Lord.
Book of Enoch 85:1
And after this, I saw another dream, and I will show it all to you, my son."
Book of Enoch 85:2
And Enoch raised his voice and said to his son Methuselah, "I speak to you, my son. Hear my words, and incline your ear to the dream vision of your father.
Book of Enoch 85:3
Before I took your mother, Edna, I saw a vision on my bed, and behold,
Book of Enoch 85:4
And
Book of Enoch 85:5
Book of Enoch 85:6
And
Book of Enoch 85:7
And I looked until that
Book of Enoch 85:8
And after this,
Book of Enoch 85:9
And I saw that white bull in my sleep, how it likewise grew and became a large white bull. And many white bulls came from it, and they were like it. And they began to beget many white bulls that were like them - one following another.
Book of Enoch 86:1
And again, I looked with my eyes as I was sleeping, and I saw heaven above, and behold,
Book of Enoch 86:2
And after this, I saw the large and the black bulls, and behold, all of them changed their pens, and their pastures, and their heifers. And they began to moan, one after another.
Book of Enoch 86:3
And again, I saw in the vision and looked up at heaven, and behold, I saw
Book of Enoch 86:4
And I looked at them and saw, and behold, all of them let out their private parts, like horses, and began to mount the cows of the bulls. *Book of Enoch 6:8 - 7:1 And they all became pregnant and bore
Book of Enoch 86:5
And all the bulls were afraid of them, and were terrified in front of them. And they began to bite with their teeth, and to devour, and to gore with their horns.
Book of Enoch 86:6
And so they began to devour those bulls, *Book of Enoch 7:4 and behold, all the sons of the earth began to tremble and shake before them and to flee.
Book of Enoch 87:1
And I saw them again, how they began to gore one another, and to devour one another, and the earth began to cry out.
Book of Enoch 87:2
And I raised my eyes again to heaven, and saw in the vision, and behold, beings that were like white men came from heaven. And four came from that place, and three others with them.
Book of Enoch 87:3
And those three, who came out last, took hold of me by my hand and raised me from the generations of the earth, and lifted me up onto a high place, *19:56 - 57 and showed me a tower high above the earth, and all the hills were lower.
Book of Enoch 87:4
And one said to me, "Remain here until you have seen everything which is coming upon these elephants, and camels, and donkeys, and upon the stars, and upon all the bulls."
Book of Enoch 88:1
And I saw
Book of Enoch 88:2
And one of them drew his sword, and gave it to those elephants, camels, and donkeys; and they began to strike one another, and the whole earth shook because of them.
Book of Enoch 88:3
And as I looked in the vision, behold, one of those four who had come out, cast a line from heaven and gathered and took
Book of Enoch 89:1
And one of those four, went to a white bull, and taught him a mystery, trembling as he was.
Book of Enoch 89:2
And again, I raised my eyes to heaven and saw a high roof with seven water channels on it, and those channels discharged much water into an enclosure. *54:11
Book of Enoch 89:3
And I looked again, and behold, springs opened on the floor of that large enclosure, *54:12 and water began to bubble up, and to rise above the floor. And I looked at that enclosure until its whole floor was covered by water.
Book of Enoch 89:4
And water, darkness, and mist increased on it, and I looked at the height of that water, and that water had risen above that enclosure and was pouring out over the enclosure, and it remained on the earth.
Book of Enoch 89:5
And all the bulls of that enclosure were gathered together, until I saw how they sank, and were swallowed up and destroyed in that water.
Book of Enoch 89:6
And that vessel floated on the water, but all the bulls, elephants, camels, and donkeys sank to the bottom, together with all the animals, so that I could not see them. And they were unable to get out, but were destroyed, and sank into the depths.
Book of Enoch 89:7
And again, I looked at that vision until those water channels were removed from that high roof, and the chasms of the earth were made level, and other abysses were opened.
Book of Enoch 89:8
And the water began to run down into them, until the earth became visible, and that vessel settled on the earth *11:44 and the darkness departed, and light appeared.
Book of Enoch 89:9
And
Book of Enoch 89:10
And they began to beget wild animals and birds, so that every kind of species arose from them - lions, tigers, wolves, dogs, hyenas, wildboars, foxes, badgers, pigs, falcons, vultures, kites, eagles, and ravens.
Book of Enoch 89:11
And they began to bite one another
Book of Enoch 89:12
Book of Enoch 89:13
Book of Enoch 89:14
And the Lord brought
Book of Enoch 89:15
And the wolves began to make
Book of Enoch 89:16
Book of Enoch 89:17
And He called
Book of Enoch 89:18
Book of Enoch 89:19
And after this, I saw the wolves, how they acted even more harshly towards
Book of Enoch 89:20
And their Lord came to the sheep and began to beat those wolves; and the wolves began to moan, but the sheep became silent and they did not cry out from then on.
Book of Enoch 89:21
And I looked at the sheep until they escaped from the wolves; but the eyes of the wolves were blinded, and those wolves went out in pursuit of the sheep with all their forces.
Book of Enoch 89:22
And the Lord of the sheep went with them, as He led them, and all His sheep followed Him; and His Face was glorious, and His appearance terrible and magnificent.
Book of Enoch 89:23
But the wolves began to pursue those sheep until they met them
Book of Enoch 89:24
Book of Enoch 89:25
Book of Enoch 89:26
But when they saw the Lord
Book of Enoch 89:27
And I looked until
Book of Enoch 89:28
But the sheep escaped that water, and went to a desert, where there was neither water, nor grass. And they began to open their eyes and see, and I saw the Lord of the sheep pasturing them, and giving them water and grass, and that sheep going and leading them.
Book of Enoch 89:29
Book of Enoch 89:30
And after this, I saw the Lord of the sheep standing before them, and His appearance was terrible and majestic, and all those sheep saw Him and were afraid of Him.
Book of Enoch 89:31
And all of them were afraid and trembled before Him; and they cried out to that sheep, with those who were in their midst, "We cannot stand before our Lord nor look at Him."
Book of Enoch 89:32
Book of Enoch 89:33
And the Lord of the sheep was extremely angry with them, and
Book of Enoch 89:34
And when they saw it, they were afraid and trembled before it and wished that they could return to their enclosure. And
Book of Enoch 89:36
And I looked there at the vision, until
Book of Enoch 89:37
And I looked until that sheep, which had met that sheep that led the sheep, fell asleep. And I looked until all the large sheep were destroyed and small ones arose in their place, and they came to a pasture, and drew near
Book of Enoch 89:38
And
Book of Enoch 89:39
And I looked until they left off crying for that sheep, and crossed
Book of Enoch 89:40
And I looked until the sheep came to a good place and a pleasant and glorious land, *Joshua 21:43 and I looked until those sheep were satisfied. And that house was in the middle of them in that green and pleasant land.
Book of Enoch 89:41
And sometimes their eyes were opened, and sometimes blinded, until another sheep rose up, led them, and brought them all back. And their eyes were opened.
Book of Enoch 89:42
And the dogs, and the foxes, and the wild boars, began to devour those sheep until the Lord of the sheep raised up
Book of Enoch 89:43
Book of Enoch 89:44
And the eyes of that sheep were opened, and it saw
Book of Enoch 89:45
And the Lord of the sheep sent the sheep
Book of Enoch 89:46
And it went to it, and spoke with it alone, and raised up
Book of Enoch 89:47
Book of Enoch 89:48
Book of Enoch 89:49
And those sheep grew and increased; but all the dogs, and foxes, and wild boars, were afraid and fled from it. And that ram butted and killed all the animals, and those animals did not again prevail amongst the sheep, and did not seize anything further from them.
Book of Enoch 89:50
And that house became large and broad, and a high tower was built for those sheep on that house for the Lord of the sheep. And that house was low but the tower was raised up and high. And the Lord of the sheep stood on that tower and they spread a full table before Him.
Book of Enoch 89:51
And I saw those sheep again, how they went astray, and walked in many ways, and left that house of theirs; and the Lord of the sheep called some of the sheep, and sent them to the sheep, but the sheep began to kill them.
Book of Enoch 89:52
Book of Enoch 89:53
And He sent many other sheep to those sheep, to testify to them and to lament over them.
Book of Enoch 89:54
And after this, I saw how when they left the house of the Lord of the sheep, and His tower, they went astray in everything, and their eyes were blinded. And I saw how the Lord of the sheep worked much slaughter among them, in their pastures, until those sheep invited that slaughter, and betrayed His place.
Book of Enoch 89:55
And He gave them into the hands of the lions, and the tigers, and the wolves, and the hyenas, and into the hands of the foxes, and to all the animals. And those wild animals began to tear those sheep in pieces.
Book of Enoch 89:56
And I saw how He left that house of theirs, and their tower, and gave them all into the hands of the lions so that they might tear them in pieces and devour them, and into the hands of all the animals.
Book of Enoch 89:57
And I began to cry out with all my power, to call the Lord of the sheep, and to represent to Him concerning the sheep; that all the wild animals were devouring them.
Book of Enoch 89:58
But He remained still, although He saw, and He rejoiced that they were devoured, swallowed up and carried off. And He gave them into the hands of all the animals for food.
Book of Enoch 89:59
And He called seventy shepherds, and cast off those sheep, so that they might pasture them. And He said to the shepherds and to their companions, "Each one of you, from now on, is to pasture the sheep and do whatever I command you.
Book of Enoch 89:60
And I will hand them over to you, duly numbered, and I will tell you which of them are to be destroyed, and destroy them." And He handed those sheep over to them.
Book of Enoch 89:61
And He called another, and said to him, "Observe and see everything that these shepherds do against these sheep for they will destroy more from among them than I have commanded them.
Book of Enoch 89:62
And write down all the excess and destruction, which is worked by the shepherds; how many they destroy at My command and how many they destroy of their own volition. Write down against each shepherd, individually, all that he destroys.
Book of Enoch 89:63
And read out in front of Me exactly how many they destroy of their own volition and how many are handed over for destruction so that this may be a testimony for Me against them. So that I may know all the deeds of the shepherds in order to hand them over for Judgement. And I will see what they do, whether they abide by My command with which I have commanded them, or not.
Book of Enoch 89:64
But they must not know this, and you must not show this to them, but only write down against each individual all that the shepherds destroy in his time, and bring it all up to Me."
Book of Enoch 89:65
And I looked until those shepherds pastured at their times, and they began to kill and destroy more than they were commanded, and they gave those sheep into the hands of the lions.
Book of Enoch 89:66
And the lions and the tigers devoured and swallowed up the majority of those sheep, and the wild boars devoured with them; and they burnt down that tower and demolished that house. *Barnabas 16:5, *17:7
Book of Enoch 89:67
And I was extremely sad about that tower because that house of the sheep had been demolished; and after that, I was unable to see whether those sheep went into that house.
Book of Enoch 89:68
And the shepherds and their companions handed those sheep over to all the animals so that they might devour them. Each one of them, at his time, received an exact number, and for each of them, one after the other, it was written in a book how many of them were destroyed.
Book of Enoch 89:69
And each one killed and destroyed more than was prescribed and I began to weep and moan very much because of those sheep.
Book of Enoch 89:70
And likewise, in the vision, I saw that one who wrote, how each day, he wrote down each one that was destroyed by those shepherds. And he brought up and presented the whole book to the Lord of the sheep, everything they had done and all that each one of them had made away with, and all that they had handed to destruction.
Book of Enoch 89:71
And the book was read out in front of the Lord of the sheep, and He took the book in His hand, read it, sealed it, and put it down.
Book of Enoch 89:72
And after this, I saw how the shepherds pastured for twelve hours, and behold, three of those sheep returned, and arrived, and came and began to build up all that had fallen down from that house; but the wild boars hindered them so that they could not.
Book of Enoch 89:73
And they again began to build, as before, and they raised up that tower, and it was called the high tower. And they began again to place a table before the tower but all the bread on it was unclean and was not pure.
Book of Enoch 89:74
And besides all this, the eyes of these sheep were blinded so that they could not see, and their shepherds likewise. And they handed yet more of them over to destruction, and they trampled on the sheep with their feet, and devoured them.
Book of Enoch 89:75
But the Lord of the sheep remained still, until all the sheep were scattered abroad, and had mixed with them, and they did not save them from the hands of the animals.
Book of Enoch 89:76
And that one who wrote the book brought it up, showed it, and read it out in the dwelling of the Lord of the sheep. And he entreated Him on behalf of them, and petitioned Him, as he showed Him all the deeds of their shepherds and testified against all the shepherds in front of Him.
Book of Enoch 89:77
And he took the book, put it down by Him, and went out.
Book of Enoch 90:1
And I looked until the time that thirty five shepherds had pastured the sheep the same way, and each individually; they all completed their time like the first ones. And others received them into their hands to pasture them at their time, each shepherd at his own time.
Book of Enoch 90:2
And after this, I saw in the vision, all the birds of the heaven coming, the eagles, the vultures, and the kites, and the ravens. But the eagles led all the birds, and they began to devour those sheep, to peck out their eyes, and to devour their flesh.
Book of Enoch 90:3
And the sheep cried out because the birds devoured their flesh. And I cried out and lamented in my sleep because of that shepherd who pastured the sheep.
Book of Enoch 90:4
And I looked until those sheep were devoured by those dogs, and by the eagles, and by the kites, and they left them neither flesh nor skin, nor sinew, until only their bones remained. And their bones fell upon the ground and the sheep became few.
Book of Enoch 90:5
And I looked until the time that twenty three shepherds had pastured, and they completed fifty eight times, each in his time.
Book of Enoch 90:6
And small lambs were born from those white sheep, and they began to open their eyes, to see, and to cry to the sheep.
Book of Enoch 90:7
But the sheep did not cry to them, and did not listen to what they said to them, but were extremely deaf, and their eyes were extremely and excessively blinded.
Book of Enoch 90:8
And I saw in the vision, how the ravens flew upon those lambs, and took one of those lambs, and dashed the sheep in pieces and devoured them.
Book of Enoch 90:9
And I looked until horns came up on those lambs but the ravens cast their horns down. And I looked until
Book of Enoch 90:10
And it looked at them and their eyes were opened. And it cried to the sheep, and the rams saw it, and they all ran to it.
Book of Enoch 90:11
And besides all this, those eagles, and vultures, and ravens, and kites were still continually tearing the sheep in pieces, and flying upon them and devouring them. And the sheep were silent but the rams lamented and cried out.
Book of Enoch 90:12
And those ravens battled and fought
Book of Enoch 90:13
And I looked at them until the shepherds and the eagles, and those vultures, and kites, came and cried to the ravens that they should dash
Book of Enoch 90:14
And I looked until that man, who wrote down the names of the shepherds and brought them up before the Lord of the sheep, came and he helped
Book of Enoch 90:15
And I looked until that Lord of the sheep came to them in anger, all those who saw Him fled, and they all fell into the shadow in front of Him.
Book of Enoch 90:16
All the eagles and vultures and ravens and kites, gathered together and brought all the wild sheep with them, and they all came together and helped one another in order to dash
Book of Enoch 90:17
And I looked at that man, who wrote the book at the command of the Lord, until he opened that book of the destruction that those last twelve shepherds had worked. And he showed, in front of the Lord of the sheep, that they had destroyed even more than those before them had.
Book of Enoch 90:18
And I looked until the Lord of the sheep came to them and took the staff of His anger and struck the earth. And the earth was split. And all the animals, and the birds of the heaven, fell from those sheep and sank in the earth; and it closed over them.
Book of Enoch 90:19
And I looked until
Book of Enoch 90:20
And I looked until a Throne was set up in a pleasant land and the Lord of the sheep sat on it. And they took all the sealed books and opened the books in front of the Lord of the sheep.
Book of Enoch 90:21
And the Lord called those men, the seven first white ones, and commanded them to bring
Book of Enoch 90:22
And He said to that man who wrote in front of Him, who was one of the seven white ones, He said to him, "Take those seventy shepherds, to whom I handed the sheep over, and who, on their own authority, took and killed more than I commanded them."
Book of Enoch 90:23
And behold, I saw them all bound, and they all stood in front of Him.
Book of Enoch 90:24
And the Judgement was held, first on the stars, and they were judged and found guilty, and they went to the place of damnation, and were thrown into a deep place full of fire burning, and full of pillars of fire.
Book of Enoch 90:25
And those seventy shepherds were judged and found guilty, and they also were thrown into that abyss of fire.
Book of Enoch 90:26
And I saw at that time, how a similar abyss was opened in the middle of the earth which was full of fire, and they brought those blind sheep and they were all judged and found guilty, and thrown into that abyss of fire and they burned. And that abyss was on the south of that house.
Book of Enoch 90:27
And I saw those sheep burning and their bones were burning.
Book of Enoch 90:28
And I stood up to look until He folded up that old house, and they removed all the pillars, and all the beams and ornaments of that house were folded up with it. And they removed it and put it in a place in the south of the land.
Book of Enoch 90:29
And I looked until the Lord of the sheep brought a new house, larger and higher than the first one, and He set it up on the site of the first one that had been folded up. And all its pillars were new, and its ornaments were new and larger than those of the first one - the old one that had been removed. And the Lord of the sheep was in the middle of it.
Book of Enoch 90:30
And I saw all the sheep that were left, and all the animals of the earth, and all the birds of the heaven, falling down and prostrating to those sheep, and entreating them and obeying them in every command.
Book of Enoch 90:31
And after this, those three who were dressed in white and had taken hold of my hand, the ones who had brought me up at first. They, with the hand of that ram also holding me, took me up, and put me down in the middle of those sheep before the Judgement was held.
Book of Enoch 90:32
And those sheep were all white and their wool thick and pure.
Book of Enoch 90:33
And all those which had been destroyed and scattered, and all the wild animals, and all the birds of the heaven, gathered together in that house, and the Lord of the sheep rejoiced very much because they were all good, and had returned to His house.
Book of Enoch 90:34
And I looked until they had laid down that sword, which had been given to the sheep, and they brought it back into His house, and it was sealed in front of the Lord. And all the sheep were enclosed in that house but it did not hold them.
Book of Enoch 90:35
And the eyes of all of them were opened, and they saw well, and there was not one among them that did not see.
Book of Enoch 90:36
And I saw that that house was large, broad, and exceptionally full.
Book of Enoch 90:37
And I saw how a white bull was born, and its horns were big, and all the wild animals, and all the birds of the heaven, were afraid of it, and entreated it continually.
Book of Enoch 90:38
And I looked until all their species were transformed and they all became white bulls. And the first among them was a wild ox. And that wild ox was a large animal and had big black horns on its head. And the Lord of the sheep rejoiced over them, and over all the bulls.
Book of Enoch 90:39
And I was asleep in the middle of them and I woke up and saw everything.
Book of Enoch 90:40
And this is the vision which I saw while I was asleep, and I woke up, blessed the Lord of righteousness, and ascribed glory to Him.
Book of Enoch 90:41
But after this, I wept bitterly and my tears did not stop until I could not endure it. When I looked, they ran down, because of what I saw, for everything will come to pass and be fulfilled, and all the deeds of men were shown to me in their order.
Book of Enoch 90:42
That night, I remembered my first dream, and I wept because of it and was disturbed, because I had seen that vision.
Book of Enoch 91:1
And now my son Methuselah, call all your brothers to me, and gather all the children of your mother to me. For a voice calls me, and a [Holy] Spirit has been poured over me, so that I may show you everything that will come upon you forever.
