Book of Enock 75 - 76

1And at the extremities of the earth I beheld twelve gates open for all the winds, from which they proceed and blow over the earth. 2Three of them are open in the front of heaven, three in the west, three on the right side of heaven, and three on the left. The first three are those which are towards the east, three are towards the north, three behind those which are upon the left, towards the south, and three on the west. 3From four of them proceed winds of blessing, and of health; and from eight proceed winds of punishment; when they are sent to destroy the earth, and the heaven above it, all its inhabitants, and all which are in the waters, or on dry land.

Chapter 75

1And at the extremities of the earth I beheld twelve gates open for all the winds, from which they proceed and blow over the earth. 2Three of them are open in the front of heaven, three in the west, three on the right side of heaven, and three on the left. The first three are those which are towards the east, three are towards the north, three behind those which are upon the left, towards the south, and three on the west. 3From four of them proceed winds of blessing, and of health; and from eight proceed winds of punishment; when they are sent to destroy the earth, and the heaven above it, all its inhabitants, and all which are in the waters, or on dry land. 4The first of these winds proceeds from the gate termed the eastern, through the first gate on the east, which inclines southwards. From this goes forth destruction, drought, heat, and perdition. 5From the second gate, the middle one, proceeds equity. There issue from it rain, fruitfulness, health, and dew; and from the third gate northwards, proceed cold and drought. 6After these proceed the south winds through three principal gates; through their first gate, which inclines eastwards, proceeds a hot wind. 7But from the middle gate proceed grateful odor, dew, rain, health, and life. 8From the third gate, which is westwards, proceed dew, rain, blight, and destruction. 9After these are the winds to the north, which is called the sea. They proceed from three gates. The first138 gate is that which is on the east, inclining southwards; from this proceed dew, rain, blight, and destruction. From the middle direct gate proceed rain, dew, life, and health. And from the third gate, which is westwards, inclining towards the south,139 proceed mist, frost, snow, rain, dew, and blight. 10After these in the fourth quarter are the winds to the west. From the first gate, inclining northwards, proceed dew, rain, frost, cold, snow, and chill; from the middle gate proceed rain, health, and blessing; 11And from the last gate, which is southwards, proceed drought, destruction, scorching, and perdition. 12The account of the twelve gates of the four quarters of heaven is ended. 13All their laws, all their infliction of punishment, and the health produced by them, have I explained to you, my son Mathusala.
