Book of Enock 87 - 88 Then I looked at that one of the four white men, who came forth first. 2 He seized the first star which fell down from heaven. 3 And, binding it hand and foot, he cast it into a valley; a valley narrow, deep, stupendous, and gloomy. 4 Then one of them drew his sword, and gave it to the elephants, camels, and donkeys, who began to strike each other. And the whole earth shook on account of them Chapter 87 1Then I looked at that one of the four white men, who came forth first. 2 He seized the first star which fell down from heaven. 3 And, binding it hand and foot, he cast it into a valley; a valley narrow, deep, stupendous, and gloomy. 4 Then one of them drew his sword, and gave it to the elephants, camels, and donkeys, who began to strike each other. And the whole earth shook on account of them. 5 And when I looked in the vision, behold, one of those four angels, who came forth, hurled from heaven, collected together, and took all the great stars, whose form partly resembles that of horses; and binding them all hand and foot, cast them into the cavities of the earth. Chapter 88 1Then one of those four went to the white cows, and taught them a mystery. While the cow was trembling, it was born, and became a man,170 and fabricated for himself a large ship. In this he dwelt, and three cows171 dwelt with him in that ship, which covered them. 2Again I lifted up my eyes towards heaven, and saw a lofty roof. Above it were seven cataracts, which poured forth on a certain village much water. 3Again I looked, and behold there were fountains open on the earth in that large village. he water began to boil up, and rose over the earth; so that the village was not seen, while its whole soil was covered with water. 5Much water was over it, darkness, and clouds. Then I surveyed the height of this water; and it was elevated above the village. 6 It flowed over the village, and stood higher than the earth. 7Then all the cows which were collected there, while I looked on them, were drowned, swallowed up, and destroyed in the water. 8But the ship floated above it. All the cows, the elephants, the camels, and the donkeys, were drowned on the earth, and all cattle. Nor could I perceive them. Neither were they able to get out, but perished, and sank into the deep. 9Again I looked in the vision until those cataracts from that lofty roof were removed, and the fountains of the earth became equalized, while other depths were opened; 10Into which the water began to descend, until the dry ground appeared. 11The ship rested on the earth; the darkness receded; and it became light. 12Then the white cow, which became a man, went out of the ship, and the three cows with him. 13One of the three cows was white, resembling that cow; one of them was red as blood; and one of them was black. And the white cow left them. 14Then wild beasts and birds began to bring forth. 15Of all these the different kinds assembled together, lions, tigers, wolves, dogs, wild boars, foxes, rabbits, and the hanzar. 16The siset, the avest, kites, the phonkas, and ravens. Then the white cow172 was born in the midst of them. 18And they began to bite each other; when the white cow, which was born in the midst of them, brought forth a wild donkey and a white cow at the same time, and after that many wild donkeys. Then the white cow,173 which was born, brought forth a black wild sow and a white sheep.174 19That wild sow also brought forth many swine. 20And that sheep brought forth twelve sheep.175 21When those twelve sheep grew up, they delivered one of them176 to the donkeys.177 22Again those donkeys delivered that sheep to the wolves; 178 23And he grew up in the midst of them. 24Then the Lord brought the eleven other sheep, that they might dwell and feed with him in the midst of the wolves. 25They multiplied, and there was abundance of pasture for them. 26But the wolves began to frighten and oppress them, while they destroyed their young ones. 27And they left their young in torrents of deep water. 28Now the sheep began to cry out on account of their young, and fled for refuge to their Lord. One179 however, which was saved, escaped, and went away to the wild donkeys. 29I beheld the sheep moaning, crying, and petitioning their Lord 30With all their might, until the Lord of the sheep descended at their voice from his lofty habitation; went to them; and inspected them. 31He called to that sheep which had secretly stolen away from the wolves, and told him to make the wolves understand that they were not to touch the sheep. 32Then that sheep went to the wolves with the word of the Lord, when another met him,180 and proceeded with him. 33Both of them together entered the dwelling of the wolves; and conversing with them made them understand, that from then on they were not to touch the sheep. 34Afterwards I perceived the wolves greatly prevailing over the sheep with their whole force. The sheep cried out; and their Lord came to them. 35He began to strike the wolves, who commenced a grievous lamentation; but the sheep were silent, nor from that time did they cry out. 36I then looked at them, until they departed from the wolves. The eyes of the wolves were blind, who went out and followed them with all their might. But the Lord of the sheep proceeded with them, and conducted them. 37All his sheep followed him. 38His countenance was terrific and splendid, and glorious was his aspect. Yet the wolves began to follow the sheep, until they overtook them in a certain lake of water.181 39Then that lake became divided; the water standing up on both sides before their face. 40And while their Lord was conducting them, he placed himself between them and the wolves.41The wolves however perceived not the sheep, but went into the midst of the lake, following them, and running after them into the lake of water. 42But when they saw the Lord of the sheep, they turned to flee from before his face. 43Then the water of the lake returned, and that suddenly, according to its nature. It became full, and was raised up, until it covered the wolves. And I saw that all of them which had followed the sheep perished, and were drowned. 44But the sheep passed over this water, proceeding to a wilderness, which was without both water and grass. And they began to open their eyes and to see. 45Then I beheld the Lord of the sheep inspecting them, and giving them water and grass. 46That one sheep already mentioned was proceeding with them, and conducting them. 47And when he had ascended the top of the lofty rock, the Lord of the sheep sent him to them. 48Afterwards I perceived their Lord standing before them, with an aspect terrific and severe. 49And when they all beheld him, they were frightened at his countenance. 50All of them were alarmed, and trembled. They cried out after that sheep; and to the other sheep who had been with him, and who was in the midst of them, saying, We are not able to stand before our Lord, or to look upon him. 51Then that sheep who conducted them went away, and ascended the top of the rock; 52When the rest of the sheep began to grow blind, and to wander from the path which he had shown them; but he knew it not. 53Their Lord however was moved with great indignation against them; and when that sheep had learned what had happened, 54He descended from the top of the rock, and coming to them, found that there were many, 55Which had become blind; 56And had wandered from his path. As soon as they beheld him, they feared, and trembled at his presence; 57And became desirous of returning to their fold, 58Then that sheep, taking with him other sheep, went to those which had wandered. 59And afterwards began to kill them. They were terrified at his countenance. Then he caused those which had wandered to return; who went back to their fold. 60I likewise saw there in the vision, that this sheep became a man, built a house182 for the Lord of the sheep, and made them all stand in the house. 61I perceived also that the sheep which proceeded to meet this sheep, their conductor, died. I saw, too, that all the great sheep perished, while smaller ones rose up in their place, entered into a pasture, and approached a river of water.183 62Then that sheep, their conductor, who became a man, was separated from them, and died. 63All the sheep sought after him, and cried for him with bitter lamentation. 64I saw likewise that they ceased to cry after that sheep, and passed over the river of water. 65And that there arose other sheep, all of whom conducted them,184 instead of those who were dead, and who had previously conducted them. 66Then I saw that the sheep entered into a goodly place, and a territory delectable and glorious. 67I saw also that they became satiated; that their house was in the midst of a delectable territory; and that sometimes their eyes were opened, and that sometimes they were blind; until another sheep185 arose and conducted them. He brought them all back; and their eyes were opened. 68Then dogs, foxes, and wild boars began to devour them, until again another sheep186 arose, the master of the flock, one of themselves, a ram, to conduct them. This ram began to butt on every side those dogs, foxes, and wild boars, until they all perished. 6 ⁹But the former sheep opened his eyes, and saw the ram in the midst of them, who had laid aside his glory. 70And he began to strike the sheep, treading upon them, and behaving himself without dignity. 71Then their Lord sent the former sheep again to a still different187 sheep,188 and raised him up to be a ram, and to conduct them instead of that sheep who had laid aside his glory. 72Going therefore to him, and conversing with him alone, he raised up that ram, and made him a prince and leader of the flock. All the time that the dogs189 troubled the sheep, 73The first ram paid respect to this latter ram. 74Then the latter ram arose, and fled away from before his face. And I saw that those dogs caused the first ram to fall. 75But the latter ram arose, and conducted the smaller sheep. 76That ram likewise begat many sheep, and died. 77Then there was a smaller sheep,190 a ram, in place of him, which became a prince and leader, conducting the flock. 78And the sheep increased in size, and multiplied. 79And all the dogs, foxes, and wild boars feared, and fled away from him. 80That ram also struck and killed all the wild beasts, so that they could not again prevail in the midst of the sheep, nor at any time ever snatch them away. 81And that house was made large and wide; a lofty tower being built upon it by the sheep, for the Lord of the sheep. 82The house was low, but the tower was elevated and very high. 83Then the Lord of the sheep stood upon that tower, and caused a full table to approach before him. 84Again I saw that those sheep wandered, and went various ways, forsaking that their house; 85And that their Lord called to some among them, whom he sent191 to them. 86But these the sheep began to kill. And when one of them was saved from slaughter192 he leaped, and cried out against those who were desirous of killing him. 87But the Lord of the sheep delivered him from their hands, and made him ascend to him, and remain with him. 88He sent also many others to them, to testify, and with lamentations to exclaim against them. 89Again I saw, when some of them forsook the house of their Lord, and his tower; wandering on all sides, and growing blind, 90I saw that the Lord of the sheep made a great slaughter among them in their pasture, until they cried out to him in consequence of that slaughter. Then he departed from the place of his habitation, and left them in the power of lions, tigers, wolves, and the zeebt,193 and in the power of foxes, and of every beast. 91And the wild beasts began to tear them. 92I saw, too, that he forsook the house of their fathers, and their tower; handing them all over to the power of lions to tear and devour them; into the power of every beast. 93Then I began to cry out with all my might, imploring the Lord of the sheep, and showing him how the sheep were devoured by all the beasts of prey. 94But he looked on in silence, rejoicing that they were devoured, swallowed up, and carried off; and leaving them in the power of every beast for food. He called also seventy shepherds, and resigned to them the care of the sheep, that they might overlook them; 95Saying to them and to their associates, Every one of you from this time forward oversee the sheep, and whatever I command you, you do; and I will deliver them to you numbered.194 96I will tell you which of them shall be slain; these destroy. And he delivered the sheep to them. 97Then he called to another, and said, Understand, and watch everything which the shepherds shall do to these sheep; for many more of them shall perish than I have commanded. 98Of every excess and slaughter, which the shepherds shall commit, there shall be an account; as to how many perish by my command, versus how many they destroy of their own heads. 99Of all the destruction brought about by each of the shepherds there shall be an account; and according to the number I will cause a recital to be made before me, how many they have destroyed of their own heads, and how many they have delivered up to destruction, that I may have this testimony against them; that I may know all their proceedings; and that, delivering the sheep to them, I may see what they will do; whether they will act as I have commanded them, or not. 100They shall be unaware of this, however; neither shall you make any explanation to them, neither shall you rebuke them; but there shall be an account of all the destruction done by them in their respective seasons. Then they began to kill, and destroy more than it was commanded them. 101And they left the sheep in the power of the lions, so that very many of them were devoured and swallowed up by lions and tigers; and wild boars preyed upon them. That tower they burnt, and overthrew that house. 102Then I grieved extremely on account of the tower, and because the house of the sheep was overthrown. The Book of Enoch the Prophet 114 103Neither was I afterwards able to perceive whether they again entered that house. 104The shepherds likewise, and their associates, delivered them to all the wild beasts, that they might devour them. Each of them in his season, according to his number, was delivered up; each of them, one with another, was described in a book, how many of them, one with another, were destroyed, in a book. 105More, however, than was ordered, every shepherd killed and destroyed. 106Then I began to weep, and was greatly indignant, on account of the sheep. 107In like manner also I saw in the vision him who wrote, how he wrote down one, destroyed by the shepherds, every day. He ascended, remained, and exhibited each of his books to the Lord of the sheep, containing all which they had done, and all which each of them had made away with; 108And all which they had delivered up to destruction. 109He took the book up in his hands, read it, sealed it, and deposited it. 110After this, I saw shepherds overlooking for twelve hours. 111And behold three of the sheep195 departed, arrived, went in; and began building all which was fallen down of that house. 112But the wild boars196 tried to hinder them, though they did not prevail. 113Again they began to build as before, and raised up that tower, which was called a lofty tower. 195 Zerubbabel, Joshua, and Nehemiah. 196 The Samaritans. The Book of Enoch the Prophet 115 114And again they began to place before the tower a table, with every impure and unclean kind of bread upon it. 115Moreover also all the sheep were blind, and could not see, as were the shepherds likewise. 116Thus were they delivered up to the shepherds for a great destruction, who trampled them under foot, and devoured them. 117Yet was their Lord silent, until all the sheep in the field were destroyed. The shepherds and the sheep were all mixed together; but they did not save them from the power of the beasts. 118Then he who wrote the book ascended, exhibited it, and read it at the residence of the Lord of the sheep. He petitioned him for them, and prayed, pointing out every act of the shepherds, and testifying before him against them all. Then taking the book, he deposited it with him, and departed

Book of Enock 85 - 86 I lifted up my hands in righteousness, and blessed the holy and Great One. I spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with a tongue of flesh, which God has formed for all the sons of mortal men, that with it they may speak; giving them breath, a mouth, and a tongue to converse with. 2Blessed are you, O Lord, the King, great and powerful in your greatness, Lord of all the creatures of heaven, King of kings, God of the whole world, whose reign, whose kingdom, and whose majesty endure for ever and ever. 3From generation to generation your dominion shall be. All the heavens are your throne for ever, Chapter 85 1Again I looked attentively,169 while sleeping, and surveyed heaven above. 2And behold a single star fell from heaven. 3Which being raised up, ate and fed among those cows. 4After that I perceived other large and black cows; and behold all of them changed their stalls and pastures, while their young began to lament one with another. Again I looked in my vision, and surveyed heaven; when behold I saw many stars which descended, and projected themselves from heaven to where the first star was, 5 Into the midst of those young ones; while the cows were with them, feeding in the midst of them. 6 I looked at and observed them; when behold, they all acted after the manner of horses, and began to approach the young cows, all of whom became pregnant, and brought forth elephants, camels, and donkeys. 7At these all the cows were alarmed and terrified; when they began biting with their teeth, swallowing, and striking with their horns. 8They began also to devour the cows; and behold all the children of the earth trembled, shook with terror at them, and suddenly fled away. Chapter 86 1Again I perceived them, when they began to strike and to swallow each other; and the earth cried out. Then I raised my eyes a second time towards heaven, and saw in a vision, that, behold, there came forth from heaven as it were the likeness of white men. One came forth from there, and three with him. 2Those three, who came forth last, seized me by my hand; and raising me up from the generations of the earth, elevated me to a high station. 3Then they showed me a lofty tower on the earth, while every hill became diminished. And they said, Remain here, The Book of Enoch the Prophet 104 until you perceive what shall come upon those elephants, camels, and donkeys, upon the stars, and upon all the cows.

Book of Enock 81 - 82 Now, my son Mathusala, all these things I speak unto you, and write for you. To you I have revealed all, and have given you books of everything. 2Preserve, my son Mathusala, the books written by your father;148 that you may transmit them to future generations. 3Wisdom have I given to you, to your children, and your posterity, that they may transmit to their children, for generations for ever, this wisdom in their thoughts; and that those who comprehend it may not slumber, but hear with their ears; that they may learn this wisdom, and be deemed worthy of eating this wholesome food. Chapter 81 1Now, my son Mathusala, all these th ings I speak unto you, and write for you. To you I have revealed all, and have given you books of everything. 2Preserve, my son Mathusala, the books written by your father;148 that you may transmit them to future generations. 3Wisdom have I given to you, to your children, and your posterity, that they may transmit to their children, for generations for ever, this wisdom in their thoughts; and that those who comprehend it may not slumber, but hear with their ears; that they may learn this wisdom, and be deemed worthy of eating this wholesome food. 4Blessed are all the righteous; blessed are all who walk in righteousness; in whom no crime is found, as in sinners, when all their days are numbered. 148 the books of the hand of thy father. The Book of Enoch the Prophet 96 5With respect to the progress of the sun in heaven, it enters and goes out of each gate for thirty days, with the leaders of the thousand classes of the stars; with four which are added, and appertain to the four quarters of the year, which conduct them, and accompany them at four periods. 6Respecting these, men greatly err, and do not calculate them in the calculation of every age; for they greatly err respecting them; nor do men know accurately that they are in the computation of the year. But indeed these are marked down149 for ever; one in the first gate, one in the third, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth: 7So that the year is completed in three hundred and sixtyfour days. 8Truly has been stated,150 and accurately has been calculated that which is marked down; for the luminaries, the months, the fixed periods, the years, and the days, Uriel has explained to me, and communicated to me;151 whom the Lord of all creation, on my account, commanded (according to the might of heaven, and the power which it possesses both by night and by day) to explain the laws of light to man, of the sun, moon, and stars, and of all the powers of heaven, which are turned with their respective orbs. 9This is the ordinance of the stars, which set in their places, in their seasons, in their periods, in their days, and in their months. 10These are the names of the those who conduct them, who watch and enter in their seasons, according to their 149 to impress, express, or to seal. 150 have they related. 151 has breathed into me. The Book of Enoch the Prophet 97 ordinance in their periods, in their months, in the times of their influence, and in their stations. 11Four conductors of them first enter, who separate the four quarters of the year. After these, twelve conductors of their classes, who separate the months and the year into three hundred and sixty-four days, with the leaders of a thousand, who distinguish between the days, as well as between the four additional ones; which, as conductors, divide the four quarters of the year. 12These leaders of a thousand are in the midst of the conductors, and the conductors are added each behind his station, and their conductors make the separation. These are the names of the conductors, who separate the four quarters of the year, who are appointed over them: Melkel, Helammelak, 13Meliyal, and Narel. 14And the names of those who conduct them are Adnarel, Jyasusal, and Jyelumeal. 15These are the three who follow after the conductors of the classes of stars; each following after the three conductors of the classes, which themselves follow after those conductors of the stations, who divide the four quarters of the year. 16In the first part of the year rises and rules Melkyas, who is named Tamani, and Zahay.152 17All the days of his influence, during which he rules, are ninety-one days. 18And these are the signs of the days which are seen upon the earth. In the days of his influence there is perspiration, heat, and trouble. All the trees become fruitful; the leaf of 152 ["Tamani, and Zahay." Or, "the southern sun" (Knibb, p. 190).] The Book of Enoch the Prophet 98 every tree comes forth; the corn is reaped; the rose and every species of flowers blossoms in the field; and the trees of winter are dried up. 19These are the names of the conductors who are under them: Barkel, Zelsabel; and another additional conductor of a thousand is named Heloyalef, the days of those influence have been completed. The other conductor next after them is Helemmelek, whose name they call the splendid Zahay.153 20All the days of his light are ninety-one days. 21These are the signs of the days upon earth, heat and drought; while the trees bring forth their fruits, warmed and concocted, and give their fruits to dry. 22The flocks follow and yean.154 All the fruits of the earth are collected, with everything in the fields, and the vines are trodden. This takes place during the time of his influence. 23These are their names and orders, and the names of the conductors who are under them, of those who are chiefs of a thousand: Gedaeyal, Keel, Heel. 24And the name of the additional leader of a thousand is Asphael. 25The days of his influence have been completed. Chapter 82 1And now I have shown you, my son Mathusala, every sight which I saw prior to your birth.155 I will relate another vision, which I saw before I was married; they resemble each other. 2The first was when I was learning a book; and the other before I was married to your mother. I saw a potent vision; 3And on account of these things besought the Lord. 4 I was lying down in the house of my grandfather Malalel, when I saw in a vision heaven purifying, and snatched away.156 5And falling to the earth,157 I saw likewise the earth absorbed by a great abyss; and mountains suspended over mountains. 6Hills were sinking upon hills, lofty trees were gliding158 off from their trunks, and were in the act of being projected, and of sinking into the abyss. 7Being alarmed at these things, my voice faltered.159 I cried out and said, The earth is destroyed. Then my grandfather Malalel raised me up, and said to me: Why are you crying out this way, my son? And why do you thus lament? 8 I related to him the whole vision which I had seen. He said to me, Confirmed is that which you have seen, my son; 9And potent is the vision of your dream respecting every secret sin of the earth. Its substance shall sink into the abyss, and a great destruction take place. 10Now, my son, rise up; and beseech the Lord of glory (for you are faithful), that a remnant may be left upon earth, and that he would not completely destroy it. My son, all this calamity upon earth comes down from heaven;160 upon earth there shall be a great destruction.11Then I arose, prayed, and entreated; and wrote down my prayer for the generations of the world, explaining everything to my son Mathusala. 12When I went down below, and looking up to heaven, beheld the sun proceeding from the east, the moon descending to the west, a few scattered stars, and everything which God161 has known from the beginning, I blessed the Lord of judgment, and magnified him: because he has sent forth the sun from the chambers162 of the east; so that, ascending and rising in the face of heaven, it might spring up, and pursue the path which has been pointed out to it.

Book of Enock 83 - 84 I lifted up my hands in righteousness, and blessed the holy and Great One. I spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with a tongue of flesh, which God has formed for all the sons of mortal men, that with it they may speak; giving them breath, a mouth, and a tongue to converse with. 2Blessed are you, O Lord, the King, great and powerful in your greatness, Lord of all the creatures of heaven, King of kings, God of the whole world, whose reign, whose kingdom, and whose majesty endure for ever and ever. 3From generation to generation your dominion shall be. All the heavens are your throne for ever, Chapter 83 1 I lifted up my hands in righteousness, and blessed the holy and Great One. I spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with a tongue of flesh, which God has formed for all the sons of mortal men, that with it they may speak; giving them breath, a mouth, and a tongue to converse with. 2Blessed are you, O Lord, the King, great and powerful in your greatness, Lord of all the creatures of heaven, King of kings, God of the whole world, whose reign, whose kingdom, and whose majesty endure for ever and ever. 3From generation to generation your dominion shall be. All the heavens are your throne for ever, and all the earth your footstool for ever and for ever.163 4For you have made them, and you reign over them all. No act whatsoever exceeds your power. With you wisdom is unchangeable; nor from your throne and from your presence is it ever averted. You know all things, see and hear them; nor is anything concealed from you; for you perceive all things. 5The angels of your heavens have transgressed; and on mortal flesh shall your wrath remain,164 until the day of the great judgment. 6Now then, O God, Lord and mighty King, I entreat you, and beseech you to grant my prayer, that a posterity may be left to me on earth, and that the whole human race may not perish; 7That the earth may not be left destitute, and destruction take place for ever. 8O my Lord, let the race perish from off the earth which has offended you, but a righteous and upright race establish for a posterity165 for ever. Hide not your face, O Lord, from the prayer of your servant. Chapter 84 1After this I saw another dream, and explained it all to you, my son. Enoch arose and said to his son Mathusala, To you, my son, will I speak. Hear my word; and incline your ear to the visionary dream of your father. Before I married your mother Edna, I saw a vision on my bed;166 2And behold, a cow sprung forth from the earth; 3And this cow was white. 4Afterwards a female heifer sprung forth; and with it another heifer:167 one of them was black, and one was red. 5The black heifer then struck the red one, and pursued it over the earth. 6From that period I could see nothing more of the red heifer; but the black one increased in bulk, and a female heifer came with him. 7After this I saw that many cows proceeded forth, resembling him, and following after him. 8The first female young one also went out in the presence of the first cow; and searched for the red heifer, but did not find him. 9And she lamented with a great lamentation, while she was seeking him. 10Then I looked until that first cow came to her, from which time she became silent, and ceased to lament. 11Afterwards she calved another white cow. 12And again calved many cows and black heifers. 13In my sleep also I perceived a white bull, which in like manner grew, and became a large white bull. 14After him many white cows came forth, resembling him. 15And they began to calve many other white cows, which resembled them and followed each other.

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. Chapter 76 1The first wind is called the eastern, because it is the first. 2The second is called the south, because the Most High there descends, and frequently there descends he who is blessed for ever. 3The western wind has the name of diminution, because there all the luminaries of heaven are diminished, and descend. 4The fourth wind, which is named the north, is divided into three parts; one of which is for the habitation of man; another for seas of water, with valleys, woods, rivers, shady places, and snow; and the third part contains paradise. 5Seven high mountains I beheld, higher than all the mountains of the earth, from which frost proceeds; while days, seasons, and years depart and pass away. 6Seven rivers I beheld upon earth, greater than all rivers, one of which takes its course from the west; into a great sea its water flows. 7Two come from the north to the sea, their waters flowing into the Erythraean sea,141 on the east. And with respect to the remaining four, they take their course in the cavity of the north, two to their sea, the Erythraean sea, and two are poured into a great sea, where also it is said there is a desert. 8Seven great islands I saw in the sea and on the earth. Seven in the great sea

Book of Enock 73 - 74 1Then I saw another progress and regulation which He effected in the law of the moon.137 The progress of the moons, and everything relating to them, Uriel showed me, the holy angel who conducted them all. 2Their stations I wrote down as he showed them to me. 3 I wrote down their months, as they occur, and the appearance of their light, until it is completed in fifteen days. Chapter 73 1Then I saw another progress and regulation which He effected in the law of the moon.137 The progress of the moons, and everything relating to them, Uriel showed me, the holy angel who conducted them all. 2Their stations I wrote down as he showed them to me. 3 I wrote down their months, as they occur, and the appearance of their light, until it is completed in fifteen days. 4 In each of its two seven portions it completes all its light at rising and at setting. 5On stated months it changes its settings; and on stated months it makes its progress through each gate. In two gates the moon sets with the sun, viz. in those two gates which are in the midst, in the third and fourth gate. From the third gate it goes forth for seven days, and makes its circuit. 6Again it returns to the gate from which the sun goes forth, and in that completes the whole of its light. Then it declines from the sun, and enters in eight days into the sixth gate, and returns in seven days to the third gate, from which the sun goes forth. 7When the sun proceeds to the fourth gate, the moon goes forth for seven days, until it passes from the fifth gate. 8Again it returns in seven days to the fourth gate, and completing all its light, declines, and passes on by the first gate in eight days; 9And returns in seven days to the fourth gate, from which the sun goes forth. 10Thus I beheld their stations, as according to the fixed order of the months the sun rises and sets.11At those times there is an excess of thirty days belonging to the sun in five years; all the days belonging to each year of the five years, when completed, amount to three hundred and sixty-four days; and to the sun and stars belong six days; six days in each of the five years; thus thirty days belonging to them; 12So that the moon has thirty days less than the sun and stars. 13The moon brings on all the years exactly, that their stations may come neither too forwards nor too backwards a single day; but that the years may be changed with correct precision in three hundred and sixty-four days. In three years the days are one thousand and ninety-two; in five years they are one thousand eight hundred and twenty; and in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days. 14To the moon alone belong in three years one thousand and sixty-two days; in five years it has fifty days less than the sun, for an addition being made to the one thousand and sixty-two days, in five years there are one thousand seven hundred and seventy days; and the days of the moon in eight years are two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two days. 15For its days in eight years are less than those of the sun by eighty days, which eighty days are its diminution in eight years. 16The year then becomes truly complete according to the station of the moon, and the station of the sun; which rise in the different gates; which rise and set in them for thirty days. Chapter 74 1These are the leaders of the chiefs of the thousands, those which preside over all creation, and over all the stars; with the four days which are added and never separated from the place allotted them, according to the complete calculation of the year. 2And these serve four days, which are not calculated in the calculation of the year. 3Respecting them, men greatly err, for these luminaries truly serve, in the dwelling place of the world, one day in the first gate, one in the third gate, one in the fourth gate, and one in the sixth gate. 4And the harmony of the world becomes complete every three hundred and sixty-fourth state of it. For the signs, 5The seasons, 6The years, 7And the days, Uriel showed me; the angel whom the Lord of glory appointed over all the luminaries. 8Of heaven in heaven, and in the world; that they might rule in the face of the sky, and appearing over the earth, become 9Conductors of the days and nights: the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the ministers of heaven, which make their circuit with all the chariots of heaven. 10Thus Uriel showed me twelve gates open for the circuit of the chariots of the sun in heaven, from which the rays of the sun shoot forth. 11From these proceed heat over the earth, when they are opened in their stated seasons. They are for the winds, and the spirit of the dew, when in their seasons they are opened; opened in heaven at its extremities. 12Twelve gates I beheld in heaven, at the extremities of the earth, through which the sun, moon, and stars, and all the works of heaven, proceed at their rising and setting. 13Many windows also are open on the right and on the left. 14One window at a certain season grows extremely hot. So also are there gates from which the stars go forth as they are commanded, and in which they set according to their number. 15I saw likewise the chariots of heaven, running in the world above to those gates in which the stars turn, which never set. One of these is greater than all, which goes round the whole world.

Book of Enock 77 - 78 1The names of the sun are these: one Aryares, the other Tomas. 2The moon has four names. The first is Asonya; the second, Ebla; the third, Benase; and the fourth, Erae. 3These are the two great luminaries, whose orbs are as the orbs of heaven; and the dimensions of both are equal. 4 In the orb of the sun there is a seventh portion of light, which is added to it from the moon.142 By measure it is put in, until the seventh portion of the light of the sun is departed. They set, enter into the western gate, circuit by the north, and through the eastern gate go forth over the face of heaven. Chapter 77 1The names of the sun are these: one Aryares, the other Tomas. 2The moon has four names. The first is Asonya; the second, Ebla; the third, Benase; and the fourth, Erae. 3These are the two great luminaries, whose orbs are as the orbs of heaven; and the dimensions of both are equal. 4 In the orb of the sun there is a seventh portion of light, which is added to it from the moon.142 By measure it is put in, until the seventh portion of the light of the sun is departed. They set, enter into the western gate, circuit by the north, and through the eastern gate go forth over the face of heaven. 5When the moon rises, it appears in heaven; and the half of a seventh portion of light is all which is in it. 6 In fourteen days the whole of its light is completed. 7By three quintuples light is put into it, until in fifteen days its light is completed, according to the signs of the year; it has three quintuples. 8The moon has the half of a seventh portion. 9During its diminution on the first day its light decreases a fourteenth part; on the second day it decreases a thirteenth part; on the third day a twelfth part; on the fourth day an eleventh part; on the fifth day a tenth part; on the sixth day a ninth part; on the seventh day it decreases an eighth part; on the eighth day it decreases a seventh part; on the ninth day it decreases a sixth part; on the tenth day it decreases a fifth part; on the eleventh day it decreases a fourth part; on the twelfth day it decreases third part; on the thirteenth day it decreases a second part; on the fourteenth day it decreases a half of its seventh part; and on the fifteenth day the whole remainder of its light is consumed. 10On stated months the moon has twenty-nine days. 11It also has a period of twenty-eight days. 12Uriel likewise showed me another regulation, when light is poured into the moon, how it is poured into it from the sun. 13All the time that the moon is in progress with its light, it is poured into it in the presence of the sun, until its light is in fourteen days completed in heaven. 14And when it is wholly extinguished, its light is consumed in heaven; and on the first day it is called the new moon, for on that day light is received into it. 15It becomes precisely completed on the day that the sun descends into the west, while the moon ascends at night from the east. 16The moon then shines all the night, until the sun rises before it; when the moon disappears in turn before the sun. 17Where light comes to the moon, there again it decreases, until all its light is extinguished, and the days of the moon pass away. 18Then its orb remains solitary without light. 19During three months it effects in thirty days each month its period; and during three more months it effects it in twenty-nine days each. These are the times in which it effects its decrease in its first period, and in the first gate, namely, in one hundred and seventy-seven days. 20And at the time of its going forth during three months it appears thirty days each, and during three more months it appears twenty-nine days each. 21In the night it appears for each twenty days as the face of a man, and in the day as heaven; for it is nothing else except its light Chapter 78 1And now, my son Mathusala, I have shown you everything; and the account of every ordinance of the stars of heaven is finished. 2He showed me every ordinance respecting these, which takes place at all times and in all seasons under every influence, in all years, at the arrival and under the rule of each, during every month and every week. He showed me also the decrease of the moon, which is effected in the sixth gate; for in that sixth gate is its light consumed. 3From this is the beginning of the month; and its decrease is effected in the sixth gate in its period, until a hundred and seventy-seven days are completed; according to the mode of calculation by weeks,143 twenty-five weeks and two days. 4 Its period is less that that of the sun, according to the ordinance of the stars, by five days in one half year144 precisely. 5When that their visible situation is completed. Such is the appearance and likeness of every luminary, which Uriel, the great angel who conducts them, showed to me.

Book of Enock 79 - 80 1 In those days Uriel responded and said to me, Behold, I have showed you all things, O Enoch; 2And all things have I revealed to you. You see the sun, the moon, and those which conduct the stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to return. 3 In the days of sinners the years shall be shortened. Chapter 79 1 In those days Uriel responded and said to me, Behold, I have showed you all things, O Enoch; 2And all things have I revealed to you. You see the sun, the moon, and those which conduct the stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to return. 3 In the days of sinners the years shall be shortened. 4Their seed shall be backward in their prolific soil; and everything done on earth shall be subverted, and disappear in its season. The rain shall be restrained, and heaven shall stand still. 5 In those days the fruits of the earth shall be late, and not flourish in their season; and in their season the fruits of the trees shall be withheld. 6The moon shall change its laws, and not be seen at its proper period. But in those days shall heaven be seen; and barrenness shall take place in the borders of the great chariots in the west. Heaven shall shine more than when illuminated by the orders of light; while many chiefs among the stars of authority shall err, perverting their ways and works. 7Those shall not appear in their season, who commanded them, and all the classes of the stars shall be shut up against sinners. 8The thoughts of those who dwell on the earth shall transgress within them; and they shall be perverted in all their ways. 9They shall transgress, and think themselves145 gods; while evil shall be multiplied among them 10And punishment shall come upon them, so that all of them shall be destroyed. Chapter 80 1He said, O Enoch, look on the book which heaven146 has gradually dropped down;147 and, reading that which is written in it, understand every part of it. 2Then I looked on all which was written, and understood it all, reading the book and everything written in it, all the works of man; 3And of all the children of flesh upon earth, during the generations of the world. 4 Immediately afterward I blessed the Lord, the King of glory, who has thus for ever formed the whole workmanship of the world. 5And I glorified the Lord, on account of his longsuffering and blessing towards the children of the world. 6At that time I said, Blessed is the man, who shall die righteous and good, against whom no catalogue of crime has been written, and with whom iniquity is not found. 7Then those three holy ones caused me to approach, and placed me on the earth, before the door of my house. 8And they said to me, Explain everything to Mathusala your son; and inform all your children, that no flesh shall be justified before the Lord; for he is their Creator. 9During one year we shall leave you with your children, until you shall again recover your strength, that you may instruct your family, write these things, and explain them to all your children. But in another year they shall take you from the midst of them, and your heart shall be strengthened; for the elect shall point out righteousness to the elect; the righteous with the righteous shall rejoice, congratulating each other; but sinners shall die with sinners, 10And the perverted with the perverted shall be drowned. 11Those likewise who act righteously shall die on account of the works of man, and shall be gathered together on account of the works of the wicked. 12In those days they finished conversing with me. 13And I returned to my fellow men, blessing the Lord of worlds.

Book of Enock 71 - 72 he book of the revolutions of the luminaries of heaven, according to their respective classes, their respective powers, their respective periods, their respective names, the places of their nativity, and their respective months, which Uriel, the holy angel who was with me, explained to me; he who conducted them. The whole account of them, according to every year of the world for ever, until a new work shall be effected, which will be eternal. 2This is the first law of the luminaries. The sun and the light arrive at the gates of heaven, which are on the east, and on the west of it at the western gates of heaven. Chapter 71 1The book of the revolutions of the luminaries of heaven, according to their respective classes, their respective powers, their respective periods, their respective names, the places of their nativity, and their respective months, which Uriel, the holy angel who was with me, explained to me; he who conducted them. The whole account of them, according to every year of the world for ever, until a new work shall be effected, which will be eternal. 2This is the first law of the luminaries. The sun and the light arrive at the gates of heaven, which are on the east, and on the west of it at the western gates of heaven. 3 I beheld the gates from which the sun goes forth; and the gates where the sun sets; 4 In which gates also the moon rises and sets; and I beheld the conductors of the stars, among those who precede them; six gates were at the rising, and six at the setting of the sun. 5All these respectively, one after another, are on a level; and numerous windows are on the right and on the left sides of those gates. First proceeds forth that great luminary, which is called the sun; the orb of which is as the orb of heaven, the whole of it being replete with splendid and flaming fire. 7 Its chariot, where it ascends, the wind blows. 8The sun sets in heaven, and, returning by the north, to proceed towards the east, is conducted so as to enter by that gate, and illuminate the face of heaven. 9 In the same manner it goes forth in the first month by the great gate. 10It goes forth through the fourth of those six gates, which are at the rising of the sun. 11And in the fourth gate, through which the sun with the moon proceeds, in the first part of it,128 there are twelve open windows; from which issues out a flame, when they are opened in their proper periods. 12When the sun rises in heaven, it goes forth through this fourth gate thirty days, and by the fourth gate in the west of heaven on a level with it descends. 13During that period the day is lengthened from the day, and the night curtailed from the night for thirty days. And then the day is longer by two parts than the night. 14The day is precisely ten parts, and the night is eight. 15The sun129 goes forth through this fourth gate, and sets in it, and turns to the fifth gate during thirty days; after which it proceeds from, and sets in, the fifth gate. 16Then the day becomes lengthened by a second portion, so that it is eleven parts: while the night becomes shortened, and is only seven parts. The sun now returns to the east, entering into the sixth gate, and rising and setting in the sixth gate thirty-one days, on account of its signs. 18At that period the day is longer than the night, being twice as long as the night; and become twelve parts; 19But the night is shortened, and becomes six parts. Then the sun rises up, that the day may be shortened, and the night lengthened. 20And the sun returns toward the east entering into the sixth gate, where it rises and sets for thirty days. 21When that period is completed, the day becomes shortened precisely one part, so that it is eleven parts, while the night is seven parts. 22Then the sun goes from the west, from that sixth gate, and proceeds eastwards, rising in the fifth gate for thirty days, and setting again westwards in the fifth gate of the west. 23At that period the day becomes shortened two parts; and is ten parts, while the night is eight parts. 24Then the sun goes from the fifth gate, as it sets in the fifth gate of the west; and rises in the fourth gate for thirtyone days, on account of its signs, setting in the west. 25At that period the day is made equal with the night; and, being equal with it, the night becomes nine parts, and the day nine parts. 26Then the sun goes from that gate, as it sets in the west; and returning to the east proceeds by the third gate for thirty days, setting in the west at the third gate. 27At that period the night is lengthened from the day during thirty mornings, and the day is curtailed from the day during thirty days; the night being ten parts precisely, and the day eight parts The sun now goes from the third gate, as it sets in the third gate in the west; but returning to the east, it proceeds by the second gate of the east for thirty days. 29In like manner also it sets in the second gate in the west of heaven. 30At that period the night is eleven parts, and the day seven parts. 31Then the sun goes at that time from the second gate, as it sets in the second gate in the west; but returns to the east, proceeding by the first gate, for thirty-one days. 32And sets in the west in the first130 gate. 33At that period that night is lengthened as much again as the day. 34It is twelve parts precisely, while the day is six parts. 35The sun has thus completed its beginnings, and a second time goes round from these beginnings. 36Into that first gate it enters for thirty days, and sets in the west, in the opposite part of heaven. 37At that period the night is contracted in its length a fourth part, that is, one portion, and becomes eleven parts. 38The day is seven parts. 39Then the sun returns, and enters into the second gate of the east. 40It returns by these beginnings thirty days, rising and setting. 41At that period the night is contracted in its length. It becomes ten parts, and the day eight parts. Then the sun goes from that second gate, and sets in the west; but returns to the east, and rises in the east, in the third gate, thirty-one days, setting in the west of heaven. At that period the night becomes shortened. It is nine parts. And the night is equal with the day. The year is precisely three hundred and sixty-four days. 43The lengthening of the day and night, and the contraction of the day and night, are made to differ from each other by the progress of the sun. 44By means of this progress the day is daily lengthened, and the night greatly shortened.131 45This is the law and progress of the sun, and its turning when it turns back, turning during sixty days,132 and going forth. This is the great everlasting luminary, that which he names the sun for ever and ever. 46This also is that which goes forth a great luminary, and which is named after its peculiar kind, as God commanded. 47And thus it goes in and out, neither slackening nor resting; but running on in its chariot by day and by night. It shines with a seventh portion of light from the moon;133 but the dimensions of both are equal. Chapter 72 1After this law I beheld another law of an inferior luminary, the name of which is the moon, and the orb of which is as the orb of heaven. 2 Its chariot, which it secretly ascends, the wind blows; and light is given to it by measure.3Every month at its exit and entrance it becomes changed; and its periods are as the periods of the sun. And when in like manner its light is to exist,134 its light is a seventh portion from the light of the sun. 4Thus it rises, and at its commencement towards the east goes forth for thirty days. 5At that time it appears, and becomes to you the beginning of the month. Thirty days it is with the sun in the gate from which the sun goes forth. 6Half of it is in extent seven portions, one half; and the whole of its orb is void of light, except a seventh portion out of the fourteen portions of its light. And in a day it receives a seventh portion, or half that portion, of its light. Its light is by sevens, by one portion, and by the half of a portion. It sets with the sun. 7And when the sun rises, the moon rises with it; receiving half a portion of light. 8On that night, when it commences its period,135 previously to the day of the month, the moon sets with the sun. 9And on that night it is dark in its fourteen portions, that is, in each half; but it rises on that day with one seventh portion precisely, and in its progress declines from the rising of the sun. 10During the remainder of its period136 its light increases to fourteen portions.

Book of Enock 69 - 70 After this the name of the Son of man, living with the Lord of spirits,122 was exalted by the inhabitants of the earth. 2 It was exalted in the chariots of the Spirit; and the name went forth in the midst of them. Chapter 69 1After this the name of the Son of man, living with the Lord of spirits,122 was exalted by the inhabitants of the earth. 2 It was exalted in the chariots of the Spirit; and the name went forth in the midst of them. Chapter 70 1Afterwards my spirit was concealed, ascending into the heavens. I beheld the sons of the holy angels treading on flaming fire, whose garments and robes were white, and whose countenances were transparent as crystal. 2 I saw two rivers of fire glittering like the hyacinth. 3Then I fell on my face before the Lord of spirits. 4And Michael, one of the archangels, took me by my right hand, raised me up, and brought me out to where there was every secret of mercy and secret of righteousness. 5He showed me all the hidden things of the extremities of heaven, all the receptacles of the stars, and the splendors of all, from where they went forth before the face of the holy. 6And he concealed the spirit of Enoch in the heaven of heavens. 7There I beheld, in the midst of that light, there was that which was built with stones of ice; 8And in the midst of these stones were tongues of living fire. My spirit saw around the circle of124 this flaming habitation, on one of its extremities, rivers full of living fire, which encompassed it. Then the Seraphim, the Cherubim, and Ophanin125 surrounded it: these are those who never sleep, but watch the throne of his glory. 10And I beheld angels innumerable, thousands of thousands, and myriads and myriads, who surrounded that habitation. 11Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, Phanuel and the holy angels who were in the heavens above, went in and out of it. Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel went out of that habitation, and holy angels innumerable. 12With them was the Ancient of days, whose head was white as wool, and pure, and his robe was indescribable. 13Then I fell upon my face, while all my flesh was dissolved, and my spirit became changed. 14I cried out with a loud voice, with a powerful spirit, blessing, glorifying, and exalting. 15And those blessings, which proceeded from my mouth, became acceptable in the presence of the Ancient of days. 16The Ancient of days came with Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel, with thousands of thousands, and myriads and myriads, which could not be numbered. 17Then that angel came to me, and with his voice saluted me, saying, You are a son of man who is born for righteousness, and righteousness has rested upon you. 18The righteousness of the Ancient of days shall not forsake you. 19He said, On you shall he confer peace126 in the name of the existing world; for from thence has peace gone forth since the world was created. 20And thus shall it happen to you for ever and ever All who shall exist, and who shall walk in your path of righteousness, shall not forsake you for ever. 22With you shall be their habitations, with you their lot; nor from you shall they be separated for ever and ever. 23And thus shall length of days be with the son of man. 24Peace shall be to the righteous; and the path of integrity shall the righteous pursue,127 in the name of the Lord of spirits, for ever and ever.

Book of Enock 57 - 58 1 In those days my eyes beheld the secrets of the lightnings and the splendors, and the judgment belonging to them. 2They lighten for a blessing and for a curse, according to the will of the Lord of spirits. 3And there I saw the secrets of the thunder, when it rattles86 above in heaven, and its sound is heard. Chapter 57 1 In those days my eyes beheld the secrets of the lightnings and the splendors, and the judgment belonging to them. 2They lighten for a blessing and for a curse, according to the will of the Lord of spirits. 3And there I saw the secrets of the thunder, when it rattles86 above in heaven, and its sound is heard. 4The habitations also of the earth were shown to me. The sound of the thunder is for peace and for blessing, as well as for a curse, according to the word of the Lord of spirits. 5Afterwards every secret of the splendors and of the lightnings was seen by me. For blessing and for fertility they lighten. Chapter 58 1 In the five hundredth year, and in the seventh month, on the fourteenth day of the month, of the lifetime of Enoch, in that parable, I saw that the heaven of heavens shook; that it shook violently; and that the powers of the Most High, and the angels, thousands and thousands, and myriads of myriads, were agitated with great agitation. And when I looked, the Ancient of days was sitting on the throne of his glory, while the angels and saints were standing around him. A great trembling came upon me, and terror seized me. My loins were bowed down and loosened; my reins were dissolved; and I fell upon my face. The holy Michael, another holy angel, one of the holy ones, was sent, who raised me up. 2And when he raised me, my spirit returned; for I was incapable of enduring this vision of violence, its agitation, and the concussion of heaven. 3Then holy Michael said to me, Why are you disturbed at this vision? 4Hitherto has existed the day of mercy; and he has been merciful and longsuffering towards all who dwell upon the earth. 5But when the time shall come, then shall the power, the punishment, and the judgment take place, which the Lord of spirits has prepared for those who prostrate themselves to the judgment of righteousness, for those who abjure that judgment, and for those who take his name in vain. 6That day has been prepared for the elect as a day of covenant; and for sinners as a day of inquisition. 87 There is no chap. lviii. in the MS. I have therefore divided chap. lix. into two parts, denominating this first part chap. lviii. The Book of Enoch the Prophet 58 7 In that day shall be distributed for food88 two monsters; a female monster, whose name is Leviathan, dwelling in the depths of the sea, above the springs of waters; 8And a male monster, whose name is Behemoth; which possesses, moving on his breast, the invisible wilderness. 9His name was Dendayen in the east of the garden, where the elect and the righteous will dwell; where he received it from my ancestor, who was man, from Adam the first of men,89 whom the Lord of spirits made. 10Then I asked of another angel to show me the power of those monsters, how they became separated, how they became separated on the same day, one being in the depths of the sea, and one in the dry desert. 11And he said, You, son of man, are here desire to understand secret things. 12And90 the angel of peace, who was with me, said, These two monsters are by the power of God prepared to become food, that the punishment of God may not be in vain. 13Then shall children be slain with their mothers, and sons with their fathers. 14And when the punishment of the Lord of spirits shall continue, upon them shall it continue, that the punishment of the Lord of spirits may not take place in vain.

Chapter 65 1After this he showed me the angels of punishment, who were prepared to come, and to open all the mighty waters103 under the earth: 2That they may be for judgment, and for the destruction of all those who remain and dwell upon the earth. 3And the Lord of spirits commanded the angels who went forth, not to take up the men and preserve them. 4For those angels presiding over all the mighty waters. Then I went out from the presence of Enoch Chapter 66 1 In those days the word of God was with me, and said, Noah, behold, your portion has ascended up to me, a portion void of fault, a portion beloved104 and upright. 2Now then shall the angels labor at the trees;105 but when they proceed to this, I will put my hand upon it, and preserve it. 3The seed of life shall arise106 from it, and a change shall take place,107 that the dry land shall not be left empty. I will establish your seed before me for ever and ever, and the seed of those who dwell with you on the surface of the earth. It shall be blessed and multiplied in the presence of the earth, in the name of the Lord. 4And they shall confine those angels who disclosed impiety. In that burning valley it is, that they shall be confined, which at first my great-grandfather Enoch showed me in the west, where there were mountains of gold and silver, of iron, of fluid metal, and of tin. 5 I beheld that valley in which there was great perturbation, and where the waters were troubled. 6And when all this was effected, from the fluid mass of fire, and the perturbation which troubled them in that place, there arose a strong smell of sulphur, which became mixed with the waters; and the valley of the angels, who had been guilty of seduction, burned underneath its soil. 7Through that valley also rivers of fire were flowing, to which those angels shall be condemned, who seduced the inhabitants of the earth. 8And in those days shall these waters be to kings, to princes, to the exalted, and to the inhabitants of the earth, for the healing of the soul and body, and for the judgment of the spirit. 9Their spirits shall be full of revelry,108 that they may be judged in their bodies; because they have denied the Lord of spirits, and although they perceive their condemnation day by day, they believe not in his name. 10And as the inflammation of their bodies shall be great, so shall their spirits undergo a change for ever. 11For no word which is uttered before the Lord of spirits shall be in vain. 12Judgment has come upon them, because they trusted in their carnal revelry,109 and denied the Lord of spirits. 13In those days shall the waters of that valley110 be changed; for when the angels shall be judged, then shall the heat of those springs of water experience an alteration. 14And when the angels shall ascend, the water of the springs shall again undergo a change, and be frozen. Then I heard holy Michael responding and saying, This judgment, with which the angels shall be judged, shall bear testimony against the kings, the princes, and those who possess the earth. 15For these waters of judgment shall be for their healing, and for the death111 of their bodies. But they shall not perceive and believe that the waters will be changed, and become a fire, which shall blaze for ever.
