Chapter 36

1And from there I proceeded to the extremities of the earth southwards; where I saw three gates open, from which issued mist, rain, and wind. 2From there I went to the extremities of heaven eastwards; where I saw three heavenly gates open toward the east, which had smaller gates above32 them. Through each of these small gates the stars of heaven pass, and run their course towards the west by a path which is shown to them. 3And when I beheld them, I blessed; and I will continually bless the Lord of glory, who has wrought these 32 36:2 above; Laurence: within The Book of Enoch the Prophet 36 great and glorious wonders so that they might display the magnificence of his works to his angels and to the spirits and to the souls of humankind, so they in turn might all praise his works and operations; so all his creatures might see the effect of his power; so they might glorify the great work of his hands; and bless him for ever.
