this generation, but for a remote one which is ' for to come Concerning

the elect & said, and took up my parable concerning them(

change their orbits, and the luminaries which are in the heaven, how theyall rise and set in order each in its season, and 2 transgress not against their

appointed order 7ehold ye the earth, and give heed to the things which

take place upon it from first to last, how steadfast they are, how none of thethings upon earth ' change, but all the works of #od appear to you 7ehold

the summer and the winter, how the whole earth is filled with water, and

clouds and dew and rain lie upon it

[Chapter ']

%bserve and see how *in the winter+ all the trees seem as though they had

withered and shed all their leaves, e3cept fourteen trees, which do not lose

their foliage but retain the old foliage from two to three years till the new

comes

[Chapter )]

!nd again, observe ye the days of summer how the sun is above the earth

over against it !nd you seek shade and shelter by reason of the heat of the

sun, and the earth also burns with growing heat, and so you cannot tread on

the earth, or on a rock by reason of its heat

[Chapter .]

1 %bserve ye how the trees cover themselves with green leaves and bear

fruit( wherefore give ye heed and know with regard to all $is works, andrecognie how $e that liveth for ever hath made them so 2 !nd all $is

works go on thus from year to year for ever, and all the tasks which they

8/2/2019 6756707 Book of Enoch

ordained so is it done ' !nd behold how the sea and the rivers in like

manner accomplish and change not their tasks from $is commandments8

) 7ut ye "ye have not been steadfast, nor done the commandments of the;ord,

7ut ye have turned away and spoken proud and hard words

. Therefore shall ye e3ecrate your days,

!nd the years of your life shall perish,

!nd the years of your destruction shall be multiplied in eternal e3ecration,!nd ye shall find no mercy

a &n those days ye shall make your names an eternal e3ecration unto allthe righteous,

b !nd by you shall all who curse, curse,!nd all the sinners and godless shall imprecate by you,

1 !nd it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in thosedays were born unto 2 them beautiful and comely daughters !nd theangels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to

one another( 8Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of

men ' and beget us children8 !nd -em5aa, who was their leader, said unto

them( 8& fear ye will not ) indeed agree to do this deed, and & alone shallhave to pay the penalty of a great sin8 !nd they all answered him and said(

8;et us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations .

not to abandon this plan but to do this thing8 Then sware they all togetherand bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it !nd they were in

all two hundred= who descended in the days of >ared on the summit of

ount $ermon, and they called it ount $ermon, because they had sworn4 and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it !nd these are the

names of their leaders( -amlaa, their leader, !raklba, ?ameel, @okablel,

[Chapter 4]

each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile

themselves with them, and they taught them charms 2 and enchantments,and the cutting of roots, and made them ac0uainted with plants !nd they '

became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was threethousand ells( /ho consumed ) all the ac0uisitions of men !nd when men

could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against . them and

devoured mankind !nd they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and

reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another8s flesh, and drink the bloodThen the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones

[Chapter 6]

1 !nd !ael taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, andbreastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art ofworking them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and

the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all 2

colouring tinctures !nd there arose much godlessness, and they committedfornication, and they ' were led astray, and became corrupt in all their

ways -em5aa taught enchantments, and root"cuttings, 8!rmaros the

!nd as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven

[Chapter 9]

1 !nd then ichael, riel, ?aphael, and #abriel looked down from heaven

and saw much blood being 2 shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being

wrought upon the earth !nd they said one to another( 8The earth made

without inhabitant cries the voice of their cryingst up to the gates ofheaven ' !nd now to you, the holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make

their suit, saying, D7ring our cause ) before the ost $ighD8 !nd they said

to the ;ord of the ages( 8;ord of lords, #od of gods, @ing of kings, and#od of the ages, the throne of Thy glory *standeth+ unto all the generations

of the . ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the

ages: Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou( andall things are naked and open in Thy sight, and Thou seest all things, and

nothing can hide itself from Thee Thou seest what !ael hath done, who

hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets

which were *preserved+ in heaven, which 4 men were striving to learn( !nd-em5aa, to whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule over his

associates !nd they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and

have slept with the 9 women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed tothem all kinds of sins !nd the women have 1 borne giants, and the whole

earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness !nd now,

behold, the souls of those who have died are crying and making their suit to

the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended( and cannotcease because of the lawless deeds which are 11 wrought on the earth !nd

Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and Thou seest thesethings and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to us what we are

to do to them in regard to these8

[Chapter 1]

1 Then said the ost $igh, the $oly and #reat %ne spake, and sent riel

to the son of ;amech, 2 and said to him( 8#o to

have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal

the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all thesecret things that the 6 /atchers have disclosed and have taught their sons

!nd the whole earth has been corrupted 9 through the works that weretaught by !ael( to him ascribe all sin8 !nd to #abriel said the ;ord(

8Froceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children offornication( and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the

/atchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]( send them one

against the other that they may destroy each other in 1 battle( for length ofdays shall they not have !nd no re0uest that they *ie their fathers+ make

of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf= for they hope to

live an eternal life, and 11 that each one of them will live five hundredyears8 !nd the ;ord said unto ichael( 8#o, bind -em5aa and his

associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled

themselves 12 with them in all their uncleanness !nd when their sons haveslain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones,

bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the

day of their 5udgement and of their consummation, till the 5udgement that is

1' for ever and ever is consummated &n those days they shall be led off tothe abyss of fire( and 1) to the torment and the prison in which they shall

be confined for ever !nd whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed

the /atchers, because 1 they have wronged mankind Aestroy all wrong

from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end( and let

the plant of righteousness and truth appear( and it shall prove a blessing=the works of righteousness and truth8 shall be planted in truth and 5oy for

16 !nd then shall the whole earth be tilled in righteousness, and shall all beplanted with trees and 19 be full of blessing !nd all desirable trees shall be

planted on it, and they shall plant vines on it( and the vine which they plant

thereon shall yield wine in abundance, and as for all the seed which is sownthereon each measure *of it+ shall bear a thousand, and each measure of

the heaven, so as to send 2 them down upon the earth over the work and

labour of the children of men !nd truth and peace shall be associated

together throughout all the days of the world and throughout all thegenerations of men8

[Chapter 12]

1 7efore these things Enoch was hidden, and no one of the children of men

knew where he was 2 hidden, and where he abode, and what had becomeof him !nd his activities had to do with the /atchers, and his days were

with the holy ones ' !nd & Enoch was blessing the ;ord of ma5esty and the

@ing of the ages, and lo: the /atchers ) called me "Enoch the scribe" andsaid to me( 8Enoch, thou scribe of righteousness, go, declare to the

/atchers of the heaven who have left the high heaven, the holy eternal

place, and have defiled themselves with women, and have done as the

children of earth do, and have taken unto themselves . wives( DGe havewrought great destruction on the earth( !nd ye shall have no peace nor

forgiveness of sin( and inasmuch as they delight themselves in their

children, The murder of their beloved ones shall they see, and over the

destruction of their children shall they lament, and shall make supplicationunto eternity, but mercy and peace shall ye not attainD8

[Chapter 1']

1 !nd Enoch went and said( 8!ael, thou shalt have no peace( a severesentence has gone forth 2 against thee to put thee in bonds( !nd thou shalt

not have toleration nor re0uest granted to thee, because of the

unrighteousness which thou hast taught, and because of all the works of

godlessness ' and unrighteousness and sin which thou hast shown to men8Then & went and spoke to them all ) together, and they were all afraid, and

fear and trembling seied them !nd they besought me to draw up apetition for them that they might find forgiveness, and to read their petitionin the presence . of the ;ord of heaven Hor from thenceforward they could

not speak *with $im+ nor lift up their eyes to heaven for shame of their

sins for which they had been condemned Then & wrote out their petition,and the prayer in regard to their spirits and their deeds individually and in

regard to their 4 re0uests that they should have forgiveness and length !nd

& went off and sat down at the waters of Aan, in the land of Aan, to the

8/2/2019 6756707 Book of Enoch

8/84

south of the west of $ermon( & read their petition till & fell 6 asleep !nd

behold a dream came to me, and visions fell down upon me, and & saw

visions of chastisement, and a voice came bidding *me+ & to tell it to thesons of heaven, and reprimand them 9 !nd when & awaked, & came unto

them, and they were all sitting gathered together, weeping in 1 8!bels5ail,which is between ;ebanon and -eneser, with their faces covered !nd &

recounted before them all the visions which & had seen in sleep, and & beganto speak the words of righteousness, and to reprimand the heavenly

/atchers

[Chapter 1)]

1 The book of the words of righteousness, and of the reprimand of theeternal /atchers in accordance 2 with the command of the $oly #reat %ne

in that vision & saw in my sleep what & will now say with a tongue of flesh

and with the breath of my mouth( which the #reat %ne has given to men to' converse therewith and understand with the heart !s $e has created and

given to man the power of understanding the word of wisdom, so hath $e

created me also and given me the power of reprimanding ) the /atchers,

the children of heaven & wrote out your petition, and in my vision itappeared thus, that your petition will not be granted unto you throughout

all the days of eternity, and that 5udgement . has been finally passed upon

you( yea *your petition+ will not be granted unto you !nd from henceforthyou shall not ascend into heaven unto all eternity, and in bonds of the earth

the decree has gone forth to bind you for all the days of the world !nd

*that+ previously you shall have seen the destruction of your beloved sons

and ye shall have no pleasure in them, but they shall fall before 4 you bythe sword !nd your petition on their behalf shall not be granted, nor yet on

your own( even though you weep and pray and speak all the wordscontained in the writing which & have 6 written !nd the vision was shown

to me thus( 7ehold, in the vision clouds invited me and a mist summoned

me, and the course of the stars and the lightnings sped and hastened me,

and the winds in 9 the vision caused me to fly and lifted me upward, andbore me into heaven !nd & went in till & drew nigh to a wall which is built

of crystals and surrounded by tongues of fire( and it began to affright 1

me !nd & went into the tongues of fire and drew nigh to a large housewhich was built of crystals( and the walls of the house were like a

tesselated floor *made+ of crystals, and its groundwork was 11 of crystal

&ts ceiling was like the path of the stars and the lightnings, and betweenthem were 12 fiery cherubim, and their heaven was *clear as+ water !

flaming fire surrounded the walls, and its 1' portals blaed with fire !nd &

entered into that house, and it was hot as fire and cold as ice( there 1) were

no delights of life therein( fear covered me, and trembling got hold uponme !nd as & 0uaked 1. and trembled, & fell upon my face !nd & beheld a

vision, !nd lo: there was a second house, greater 1 than the former, and

the entire portal stood open before me, and it was built of flames of fire

!nd in every respect it so e3celled in splendour and magnificence and

e3tent that & cannot describe to 14 you its splendour and its e3tent !nd itsfloor was of fire, and above it were lightnings and the path 16 of the stars,

and its ceiling also was flaming fire !nd & looked and saw therein a loftythrone( its appearance was as crystal, and the wheels thereof as the shining

sun, and there was the vision of 19 cherubim !nd from underneath thethrone came streams of flaming fire so that & could not look 2 thereon

without incurring 5udgement "thus shall they destroy until the day of the

consummation, the great 5udgement in which the age shall be 2consummated, over the /atchers and the godless, yea, shall be wholly

consummatedD !nd now as to the watchers who have sent thee to

intercede for them, who had been aforetime in heaven, *say ' to them+(DGou have been in heaven, but all the mysteries had not yet been revealed

1 !nd they took and brought me to a place in which those who were there

were like flaming fire, 2 and, when they wished, they appeared as men

!nd they brought me to the place of darkness, and to a mountain the pointof whose summit reached to heaven !nd & saw the places of the luminaries

and the treasuries of the stars and of the thunder and in the uttermostdepths, where were ) a fiery bow and arrows and their 0uiver, and a fiery

sword and all the lightnings !nd they took . me to the living waters, and

to the fire of the west, which receives every setting of the sun !nd & came

to a river of fire in which the fire flows like water and discharges itself intothe great sea towards the west & saw the great rivers and came to the

great river and to the great darkness, and went 4 to the place where no flesh

walks & saw the mountains of the darkness of winter and the place 6whence all the waters of the deep flow & saw the mouths of all the rivers of

the earth and the mouth of the deep

[Chapter 16]

1 & saw the treasuries of all the winds( & saw how $e had furnished withthem the whole creation 2 and the firm foundations of the earth !nd & saw

the corner"stone of the earth( & saw the four ' winds which bear [the earth

the pillars ) of the heaven & saw the winds of heaven which turn and bring

the circumference of the sun and . all the stars to their setting & saw thewinds on the earth carrying the clouds( & saw the paths of the angels &

saw at the end of the earth the firmament of the heaven above !nd &proceeded and saw a place which burns day and night, where there are

seven mountains of magnificent stones, 4 three towards the east, and threetowards the south !nd as for those towards the east, was of coloured stone,

and one of pearl, and one of 5acinth, and those towards the south of red

stone 6 7ut the middle one reached to heaven like the throne of #od, ofalabaster, and the summit of the 9,1 throne was of sapphire !nd & saw a

flaming fire !nd beyond these mountains &s a region the end of the great

earth( there the heavens were completed !nd & saw a deep abyss, withcolumns of heavenly fire, and among them & saw columns of fire fall,

which were beyond measure alike towards 12 the height and towards the

depth !nd beyond that abyss & saw a place which had no firmament of theheaven above, and no firmly founded earth beneath it( there was no water

upon it, and no 1' birds, but it was a waste and horrible place & saw there

seven stars like great burning mountains, 1) and to me, when & in0uired

regarding them, The angel said( 8This place is the end of heaven and earth(this has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven !nd the stars

which roll over the fire are they which have transgressed the

commandment of the ;ord in the beginning of 1 their rising, because theydid not come forth at their appointed times !nd $e was wroth with them,

something horrible( & saw neither ' a heaven above nor a firmly founded

earth, but a place chaotic and horrible !nd there & saw ) seven stars of theheaven bound together in it, like great mountains and burning with fire

Then . & said( 8Hor what sin are they bound, and on what account have they

been cast in hitherI8 Then said riel, one of the holy angels, who was withme, and was chief over them, and said( 8Enoch, why dost thou ask, and

why art thou eager for the truthI These are of the number of the stars of

heaven, which have transgressed the commandment of the ;ord, and arebound here till ten thousand years, 4 the time entailed by their sins, are

consummated8 !nd from thence & went to another place, which was still

more horrible than the former, and & saw a horrible thing( a great fire there

which burnt and blaed, and the place was cleft as far as the abyss, beingfull of great descending columns of 6 fire( neither its e3tent or magnitude

me( 8These hollow places have been created for this very purpose, that the

spirits of the souls of the dead should ) assemble therein, yea that all thesouls of the children of men should assemble here !nd these places have

been made to receive them till the day of their 5udgement and till their
