Chapter 1

1 The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous,who will be

2 living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed.And he took up his parable and said -Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were

opened by od, saw the vision of the !oly "ne in the heavens, which the angelsshowed me, and from them # heard everything, and from them # understood as #

saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come.$ %oncerning the elect # said, and took up my parable concerning them&

The !oly reat "ne will come forth from !is dwelling,' And the eternal od will tread upon the earth, (even) on *ount +inai,

And appear from !is campAnd appear in the strength of !is might from the heaven of heavens.

And all shall be smitten with fearAnd the /atchers shall 0uake,And great fear and trembling shall seie them unto the ends of the earth.

And the high mountains shall be shaken,

And the high hills shall be made low,And shall melt like wa3 before the flame

4 And the earth shall be wholly rent in sunder,And all that is upon the earth shall perish,

And there shall be a 5udgement upon all (men).

6 7ut with the righteous !e will make peace.

And will protect the elect,

And mercy shall be upon them.

And they shall all belong to od,And they shall be prospered,

And they shall all be blessed.

And !e will help them all,

And light shall appear unto them,And !e will make peace with them8.

9 And behold: !e cometh with ten thousands of !is holy onesTo e3ecute 5udgement upon all,

And to destroy all the ungodly&And to convict all flesh"f all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed,

And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against !im.

Chapter 2


2/78

1 "bserve ye everything that takes place in the heaven, how they do not changetheir orbits, and the luminaries which are in the heaven, how they all rise and set in

order each in its season, and2 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, hownone of the things upon earth

$ change, but all the works of od appear to you. 7ehold the summer and thewinter, how the whole earth is filled with water, and clouds and dew and rain lieupon it.

Chapter 3

1 "bserve and see how (in the winter) all the trees seem as though they hadwithered 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 4

1 And again, observe ye the days of summer how the sun is above the earth overagainst it. And you seek shade and shelter by reason of the heat of the sun, and theearth also burns with growing heat, and so you cannot tread on the earth, or on a

rock by reason of its heat.

Chapter 5

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, and recognie how !ethat liveth for ever hath made them so.

2 and all !is works go on thus from year to year for ever, and all the tasks whichthey accomplish for !im, and their tasks change not, but according as od hath

ordained so is it done.$ And 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

/ith your impure mouths against !is greatness."h, ye hard-hearted, ye shall find no peace.

Therefore shall ye e3ecrate your days,

And the years of your life shall perish,And the years of your destruction shall be multiplied in eternal e3ecration,

And ye shall find no mercy.

a #n those days ye shall make your names an eternal e3ecration unto all the

righteous,b And by you shall all who curse, curse,

And all the sinners and godless shall imprecate by you,c And for you the godless there shall be a curse.


3/78

d And all the . . . shall re5oice,e And there shall be forgiveness of sins,

f And every mercy and peace and forbearance&g There shall be salvation unto them, a goodly light.

h And for all of you sinners there shall be no salvation,

i 7ut on you all shall abide a curse.4a 7ut for the elect there shall be light and 5oy and peace,4b And they shall inherit the earth.

6 And then there shall be bestowed upon the elect wisdom,And they shall all live and never again sin,

Either through ungodliness or through pride&7ut they who are wise shall be humble.

9 And they shall not again transgress,

$ became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousandells& /ho consumed

' all the ac0uisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giantsturned against

them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, andreptiles, and

fish, and to devour one another8s flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laidaccusation against the lawless ones.

Chapter 8

1 And Aael taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates,

and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, andbracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the

eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all2 colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed

fornication, and they$ were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. +em5aa taught

enchantments, and root-cuttings, 8Armaros the resolving of enchantments, 7ara0i5al(taught) astrology, @okabel the constellations, Ee0eel the knowledge of the clouds,

Ara0iel the signs of the earth, +hamsiel the signs of the sun, and +ariel the course ofthe moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . .

Chapter 9

1 And then *ichael, Criel, ?aphael, and abriel looked down from heaven and saw

much blood being2 shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth. And they

said one to another& 8The earth made without inhabitant cries the voice of theircryingst up to the gates of heaven.

$ And now to you, the holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make their suit, saying,D7ring our cause

' before the *ost !igh.D8 And they said to the ;ord of the ages& 8;ord of lords, od ofgods, @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& and all things are naked andopen in Thy sight, and Thou seest all

things, and nothing can hide itself from Thee. Thou seest what Aael hath done,who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which

were (preserved) in heaven, which4 men were striving to learn& And +em5aa, to whom Thou hast given authority to

bear rule over his associates. And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the

earth, and have slept with the9 women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. Andthe women have

1 borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and

unrighteousness. And now, behold, the souls of those who have died are crying andmaking their suit to the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended& and

cannot cease because of the lawless deeds which are

11 wrought on the earth. And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and


5/78

Thou seest these things and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to uswhat we are to do to them in regard to these

Chapter 1

1 Then said the *ost !igh, the !oly and reat "ne spake, and sent Criel to the son

of ;amech,2 and said to him& o to


6/78

And all the days of their youth and their old age+hall they complete in peace.

16 And then shall the whole earth be tilled in righteousness, and shall all be planted

with trees and19 be full of blessing. And 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 inabundance, and as for all the seed which is sown thereon each measure (of it) shallbear a thousand, and each measure of olives shall yield

2 ten presses of oil. And cleanse thou the earth from all oppression, and from allunrighteousness, and from all sin, and from all godlessness& and all the uncleanness

that is wrought upon the earth21 destroy from off the earth. And all the children of men shall become righteous,

and all nations22 shall offer adoration and shall praise *e, and all shall worship *e. And the earth

shall be cleansed from all defilement, and from all sin, and from all punishment, andfrom all torment, and # will never again send (them) upon it from generation to

generation and for ever.

Chapter 11

1 And in those days # will open the store chambers of blessing which are in the

heaven, so as to send 2 them down upon the earth over the work and labour of thechildren of men. And truth and peace shall be associated together throughout all the

days of the world and throughout all the generations of men.

Chapter 12

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

where he was2 hidden, and where he abode, and what had become of him. And his activities had

to do with the /atchers, and his days were with the holy ones.$ And # Enoch was blessing the ;ord of ma5esty and the @ing of the ages, and lo: the

/atchers'called me -Enoch the scribe- and said to me& 8Enoch, thou scribe of righteousness,

go, declare to the /atchers of the heaven who have left the high heaven, the holyeternal place, and have defiled themselves with women, and have done as the

children of earth do, and have taken unto themselveswives& DGe have wrought great destruction on the earth& And 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 supplication unto eternity, but mercy and peace shall ye not

attain.D

1 And Enoch went and said& Aael, thou shalt have no peace& a severe sentence has

gone forth2 against thee to put thee in bonds& And thou shalt not have toleration nor re0uest

granted to thee, because of the unrighteousness which thou hast taught, andbecause of all the works of godlessness

$ and unrighteousness and sin which thou hast shown to men. Then # went andspoke to them all


7/78

' together, and they were all afraid, and fear and trembling seied them. And theybesought me to draw up a petition for them that they might find forgiveness, and to

read their petition in 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 deedsindividually and in regard to their4 re0uests that they should have forgiveness and length. And # went off and sat

down at the waters of an, in the land of an, to the south of the west of !ermon& #

read their petition till # fell6 asleep. And 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 the sons ofheaven, and reprimand them.

9 And when # awaked, # came unto them, and they were all sitting gatheredtogether, weeping in

1 Abels5ail, which is between ;ebanon and +eneser, with their faces covered. And #recounted before them all the visions which # had seen in sleep, and # began to

speak the words of righteousness, and to reprimand the heavenly /atchers.

Chapter 14

1 The book of the words of righteousness, and of the reprimand of the eternal/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. As !e has created and given toman 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 it

appeared thus, that your petition will not be granted unto you throughout all thedays of eternity, and that 5udgement has been finally passed upon you& yea (your petition) will not be granted unto you.

And from henceforth you shall not ascend into heaven unto all eternity, and in bondsof the earth the decree

has gone forth to bind you for all the days of the world. And (that) previously youshall have seen the destruction of your beloved sons and ye shall have no pleasure in

them, but they shall fall before4 you by the sword. And your petition on their behalf shall not be granted, nor yet on

your own& even though you weep and pray and speak all the words contained in thewriting which # have

6 written. And the vision was shown to me thus& 7ehold, in the vision clouds invitedme and a mist summoned me, and the course of the stars and the lightnings sped

and hastened me, and the winds in9 the vision caused me to fly and lifted me upward, and bore me into heaven. And #

went in till # drew nigh to a wall which is built of crystals and surrounded by tonguesof fire& and it began to affright

1 me. And # went into the tongues of fire and drew nigh to a large house which wasbuilt of crystals& and the walls of the house were like a tesselated floor (made) of

crystals, and its groundwork was11 of crystal. #ts ceiling was like the path of the stars and the lightnings, and

between them were


8/78

12 fiery cherubim, and their heaven was (clear as) water. A flaming fire surroundedthe walls, and its

1$ portals blaed with fire. And # entered into that house, and it was hot as fire andcold as ice& there

1' were no delights of life therein& fear covered me, and trembling got hold uponme. And as # 0uaked

1 and trembled, # fell upon my face. And # beheld a vision, And lo: there was asecond house, greater1 than the former, and the entire portal stood open before me, and it was built of

flames of fire. And in every respect it so e3celled in splendour and magnificence and

e3tent that # cannot describe to14 you its splendour and its e3tent. And its floor was of fire, and above it were

lightnings and the path16of the stars, and its ceiling also was flaming fire. And # looked and saw therein a

lofty throne& its appearance was as crystal, and the wheels thereof as the shiningsun, and there was the vision of

19 cherubim. And from underneath the throne came streams of flaming fire so that #could not look

2 thereon. And the reat lory sat thereon, and !is raiment shone more brightly

than the sun and21 was whiter than any snow.


9/78

heaven, in heaven is their dwelling.6 And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called

evil spirits upon9 the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from

their bodies= because they are born from men and from the holy /atchers is theirbeginning and primal origin=

1 they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called. As for thespirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earthwhich were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.

11 And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work

destruction on the earth, and cause trouble& they take no food, but nevertheless12 hunger and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the

children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them.

Chapter 1!

1 Hrom the days of the slaughter and destruction and death of the giants, from thesouls of whose flesh the spirits, having gone forth, shall destroy without incurring

5udgement -thus shall they destroy until the day of the consummation, the great5udgement in which the age shall be

2 consummated, over the /atchers and the godless, yea, shall be whollyconsummated.D And now as to the /atchers 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 to you,

and you knew worthless ones, and these in the hardness of your hearts you havemade known to the women, and through these mysteries women and men work

much evil on earth.D

' +ay to them therefore& D Gou have no peace.D8

Chapter 17

1 And 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. And they brought me to the place

of darkness, and to a mountain the point of whose summit reached to heaven.$ And # saw the places of the luminaries and the treasuries of the stars and of the

thunder and in the uttermost depths, where were' a fiery bow and arrows and their 0uiver, and a fiery sword and all the lightnings.

And they took me to the living waters, and to the fire of the west, which receives every setting of

the sun. And # came to a river of fire in which the fire flows like water and dischargesitself into the great sea towards

the west. # saw the great rivers and came to the great river and to the great

darkness, and went4 to the place where no flesh walks. # saw the mountains of the darkness of winterand the place

6 whence all the waters of the deep flow. # saw the mouths of all the rivers of the

earth and the mouth of the deep.

Chapter 18


10/78

1 # saw the treasuries of all the winds& # saw how !e had furnished with them thewhole creation

2 and the firm foundations of the earth. And # saw the corner-stone of the earth& #saw the four

$ winds which bear the earth and the firmament of the heaven. And # saw how thewinds stretch out the vaults of heaven, and have their station between heaven and

earth& these are the pillars' of the heaven. # saw the winds of heaven which turn and bring the circumferenceof the sun and

all the stars to their setting. # saw the winds 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.

And # proceeded and saw a place which burns day and night, where there are sevenmountains of magnificent stones,

4 three towards the east, and three towards the south. And as for those towards theeast, 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, of alabaster, and the

summit of the

9,1 throne was of sapphire. And # saw a flaming fire. And beyond these mountains#s a region the end of the great earth& there the heavens were completed.11 And # saw a deep abyss, with columns of heavenly fire, and among them # saw

columns of fire fall, which were beyond measure alike towards12 the height and towards the depth. And beyond that abyss # saw a place which had

no firmament of the heaven above, and no firmly founded earth beneath it& therewas no water upon it, and no

1$ birds, but it was a waste and horrible place. # saw there seven stars like greatburning mountains,

1' and to me, when # in0uired regarding them, The angel said& 8This place is the endof heaven and earth& this has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven.

1And the stars which roll over the fire are they which have transgressed the

commandment of the ;ord in the beginning of1 their rising, because they did not come forth at their appointed times. And !e was

wroth with them, and bound them till the time when their guilt should beconsummated (even) for ten thousand years.8

Chapter 19

1 And Criel said to me& 8!ere shall stand the angels who have connected themselveswith women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind

and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons as gods, (here shall theystand,) till the day of the great 5udgement in

2 which they shall be 5udged till they are made an end of. And the women also of theangels who

$ went astray shall become sirens.8 And #, Enoch, alone saw the vision, the ends ofall things& and no man shall see as # have seen.

Chapter 2

1,2 And these are the names of the holy angels who watch. Criel, one of the holy

angels, who is$ over the world and over Tartarus. ?aphael, one of the holy angels, who is over the


11/78

spirits of men.', ?aguel, one of the holy angels who takes vengeance on the world of the

luminaries. *ichael, one of the holy angels, to wit, he that is set over the best part of mankind and over

chaos. +ara0ael,4 one of the holy angels, who is set over the spirits, who sin in the spirit. abriel,

one of the holy6 angels, who is over Faradise and the serpents and the %herubim. ?emiel, one ofthe holy angels, whom od set over those who rise.

Chapter 21

1,2 And # proceeded to where things were chaotic. And # saw there somethinghorrible& # saw neither

$ a heaven above nor a firmly founded earth, but a place chaotic and horrible. Andthere # saw

' seven stars of the heaven bound together in it, like great mountains and burningwith fire. Then

# said& 8Hor what sin are they bound, and on what account have they been cast inhitherI8 Then said Criel, one of the holy angels, who was with me, 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 consummated.8 And from thence # went toanother 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, being full of great descending columns of6 fire& neither its e3tent or magnitude could # see, nor could # con5ecture. Then #

said& 8!ow

9 fearful is the place and how terrible to look upon:8 Then Criel answered me, one of

the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me& 8Enoch, why hast thou suchfear and affrightI8 And1 # answered& 87ecause of this fearful place, and because of the spectacle of the

pain.8 And he said unto me& 8This place is the prison of the angels, and here they willbe imprisoned for ever.8

Chapter 22

1 And thence # went to another place, and he mountain and of hard rock.

2 And there was in it four hollow places, deep and wide and very smooth. !owsmooth are the hollow places and deep and dark to look at.

$ Then ?aphael answered, one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto

me& 8These hollow places have been created for this very purpose, that the spirits ofthe souls of the dead should' assemble therein, yea that all the souls of the children of men should assemble

here. And these places have been made to receive them till the day of their

5udgement and till their appointed period till the period appointed, till the great5udgement (comes) upon them.8 # saw (the spirit of) a dead man making suit,

and his voice went forth to heaven and made suit. And # asked ?aphael the angel

who was with me, and # said unto him& 8This spirit which maketh suit, whose is it, whose


12/78

voice goeth forth and maketh suit to heaven I84 And he answered me saying& 8This is the spirit which went forth from Abel, whom

his brother %ain slew, and he makes his suit against him till his seed is destroyedfrom the face of the earth, and his seed is annihilated from amongst the seed of

men.86 The # asked regarding it, and regarding all the hollow places& 8/hy is one

separated from the otherI89 And he answered me and said unto me& 8These three have been made that thespirits of the dead might be separated. And such a division has been make (for) the

spirits of the righteous, in which there is the bright spring of

1 water. And such has been made for sinners when they die and are buried in theearth and 5udgement has not been e3ecuted on them in their

11 lifetime. !ere their spirits shall be set apart in this great pain till the great day of5udgement and punishment and torment of those who curse for ever and retribution

for their spirits. There12 !e shall bind them for ever. And such a division has been made for the spirits of

those who make their suit, who make disclosures concerning their destruction, whenthey were slain in the days

1$ of the sinners. +uch has been made for the spirits of men who were not righteous

but sinners, who were complete in transgression, and of the transgressors they shallbe companions& but their spirits shall not be slain in the day of 5udgement nor shallthey be raised from thence.8

1' The # blessed the ;ord of glory and said& 87lessed be my ;ord, the ;ord ofrighteousness, who ruleth for ever.8

Chapter 23

1,2 Hrom thence # went to another place to the west of the ends of the earth. And #saw a burning

$ fire which ran without resting, and paused not from its course day or night but

(ran) regularly. And

' # asked saying& 8/hat is this which rests notI8 Then ?aguel, one of the holy angelswho was with me, answered me and said unto me& 8This course of fire which thouhast seen is the fire in the west which persecutes all the luminaries of heaven.8

Chapter 24

1 And from thence # went to another place of the earth, and he showed me a

mountain range of2 fire which burnt day and night. And # went beyond it and saw seven magnificent

mountains all differing each from the other, and the stones (thereof) weremagnificent and beautiful, magnificent as a whole, of glorious appearance and fair

e3terior& three towards the east, one founded on the other, and three towards the

south, one upon the other, and deep rough ravines, no one of which$ 5oined with any other. And the seventh mountain was in the midst of these, and ite3celled them

' in height, resembling the seat of a throne& and fragrant trees encircled the throne.

And amongst them was a tree such as # had never yet smelt, neither was anyamongst them nor were others like it& it had a fragrance beyond all fragrance, and

its leaves and blooms and wood wither not for ever&

and its fruit is beautiful, and its fruit n resembles the dates of a palm. Then # said&8!ow beautiful is this tree, and fragrant, and its leaves are fair, and its blooms very


13/78

delightful in appearance.8 Then answered *ichael, one of the holy and honoured angels who was with me,

and was their leader

Chapter 25

1 And he said unto me& 8Enoch, why dost thou ask me regarding the fragrance of thetree,

2 and why dost thou wish to learn the truthI8 Then # answered him saying& 8# wish to$ know about everything, but especially about this tree.8 And he answered saying&

8This high mountain which thou hast seen, whose summit is like the throne of od, is!is throne, where the !oly reat "ne, the ;ord of lory, the Eternal @ing, will sit,

when !e shall come down to visit' the earth with goodness. And as for this fragrant tree no mortal is permitted to

touch it till the great 5udgement, when !e shall take vengeance on all and bring(everything) to its consummation

for ever. #t shall then be given to the righteous and holy. #ts fruit shall be for foodto the elect& it shall be transplanted to the holy place, to the temple of the ;ord, the

Eternal @ing.

Then shall they re5oice with 5oy and be glad,

And into the holy place shall they enter=

And its fragrance shall be in their bones,And they shall live a long life on earth,

+uch as thy fathers lived&

And in their days shall no sorrow or plague"r torment or calamity touch them.8

4 Then blessed # the od of lory, the Eternal @ing, who hath prepared such thingsfor the righteous, and hath created them and promised to give to them.

Chapter 2!

1 And # went from thence to the middle of the earth, and # saw a blessed place in

which there were

2 trees with branches abiding and blooming of a dismembered tree. And there #saw a holy mountain,

$ and underneath the mountain to the east there was a stream and it flowed towards

the south. And # saw towards the east another mountain higher than this, andbetween them a deep and narrow

' ravine& in it also ran a stream underneath the mountain. And to the west thereofthere was another mountain, lower than the former and of small elevation, and a

ravine deep and dry between them& and another deep and dry ravine was at thee3tremities of the three mountains.

And all the ravines were deep rand narrow, (being formed) of hard rock, and treeswere not planted upon

them. And # marveled at the rocks, and # marveled at the ravine, yea, # marveledvery much.

Chapter 27


14/78

1 Then said #& 8Hor what ob5ect is this blessed land, which is entirely filled with trees,and this

2 accursed valley betweenI8 Then Criel, one of the holy angels who was with me,answered and said& 8This accursed valley is for those who are accursed for ever&

!ere shall all the accursed be gathered together who utter with their lips against the;ord unseemly words and of !is glory speak hard things. !ere shall they be gathered

together, and here$ shall be their place of 5udgement. #n the last days there shall be upon them thespectacle of righteous 5udgement in the presence of the righteous for ever& here

shall the merciful bless the ;ord of glory, the Eternal @ing.

' #n the days of 5udgement over the former, they shall bless !im for the mercy inaccordance with

which !e has assigned them (their lot).8 Then # blessed the ;ord of lory and setforth !is glory and lauded !im gloriously.

Chapter 28

1 And thence # went towards the east, into the midst of the mountain range of the

desert, and2 # saw a wilderness and it was solitary, full of trees and plants. And water gushed

forth from$ above. ?ushing like a copious watercourse which flowed towards the north-west

it caused clouds and dew to ascend on every side.

Chapter 29

1 And thence # went to another place in the desert, and approached to the east ofthis mountain range.

2 And there # saw aromatic trees e3haling the fragrance of frankincense and myrrh,and the trees also were similar to the almond tree

Chapter 3

1,2 And beyond these, # went afar to the east, and # saw another place, a valley

(full) of water. And$ therein there was a tree, the colour (I) of fragrant trees such as the mastic. And

on the sides of those valleys # saw fragrant cinnamon. And beyond these # proceededto the east.

Chapter 31

1 And # saw other mountains, and amongst them were groves of trees, and there

flowed forth from2 them nectar, which is named sarara and galbanum. And beyond these mountains #

saw another mountain to the east of the ends of the earth, whereon were aloe-trees,and all the trees were full

$ of stacte, being like almond-trees. And when one burnt it, it smelt sweeter thanany fragrant odour.

Chapter 32
