And now, Enoch, all that I have told thee, all that thou hast understood, all that thou hast seen of heavenly things, all that thou hast seen on earth, and all that I have written in books by my great wisdom, all these things I have devised and created from the uppermost foundation to the lower and to the end, and there is no counsellor nor inheritor to my creations.

And apply thy mind, Enoch, and know him who is speaking to thee, and take thou the books which thou thyself hast written. 7 And I give thee Samuil and Raguil, who led thee up, and the books, and go down to earth, and tell thy sons all that I have told thee, and all that thou hast seen, from the lower heaven up to my throne, and all the troops.

THEY have rejected my commandments and my yoke, worthless seed has come up, not fearing God, and they would not bow down to me, but have begun to bow down to vain gods, and denied my unity, and have laden the whole earth with untruths, offences, abominable lecheries namely one with another, and all manner of other unclean wickednesses, which are disgusting to relate.

I have been let come to you to-day, and announce to you, not from my lips, but from the Lord's lips, all that is and was and all that is now, and all that will be till judgement-day.

You look now upon my eyes, the eyes of a man big with meaning for you, but I have seen the Lord's eyes, shining like the sun's rays and filling the eyes of man with awe.

You see now, my children, the right hand of a man that helps you, but I have seen the Lord's right hand filling heaven as be helped me.

You see the compass of my work like your own, but I have seen the Lord's limitless and perfect compass, which has no end.

AND now, my children, I know all things, for this is from the Lord's lips, and this my eyes have seen, from beginning to end.

I know all things, and have written all things into books, the heavens and their end, and their plenitude, and all the armies and their marchings.

I have measured and described the stars, the great countless multitude of them.

What man has seen their revolutions, and their entrances? For not even the angels see their number, while I have written all their names.

And I measured the sun's circle, and measured its rays, counted the hours, I wrote down too all' things that go over the earth I have written the things that are nourished, and all seed sown and unsown, which the earth produces and all plants, and every grass and every flower, and their sweet smells, and their names, and the dwelling-places of the clouds, and their composition, and their wings, and how they bear rain and raindrops.

If any one bring any gifts to an earthly ruler, and have disloyal thoughts in his heart, and the ruler know this, will he not be angry with him, and not refuse his gifts, and not give him over to judgement?

I HAVE put everyman's work in writing and none born on earth can remain hidden nor his works remain concealed.

AT that time, not understanding this let these books which I have given you be for an inheritance of your peace.

And do ye also teach your children letters, that they may have understanding all their life, reading unceasingly the law of God.

Work righteousness, therefore, my children, upon the earth, that ye may have it as a treasure in heaven.

Therefore, my children, I have learnt that at the end of the ages ye will transgress against the Lord, stretching out hands to wickedness against Him; and to all the Gentiles shall ye become a scorn.

And now I have learnt that for seventy weeks ye shall go astray, and profane the priesthood, and pollute the sacrifices.

And ye shall have no place that is clean; but ye shall be among the Gentiles a curse and a dispersion until He shall again visit you, and in pity shall receive you through faith and water.

AND whereas ye have heard concerning the seventy weeks, hear also concerning the priesthood. For in each jubilee there shall be a priesthood.

And after their punishment shall have come from the Lord, the priesthood shall fail.

And now, my children, ye have heard all; choose, therefore, for yourselves either the light or the darkness, either the law of the Lord or the works of Beliar.

And had not Dan my brother aided me, they would have slain me.

And he had not known her according to the evil craftiness of his mother, for he did not wish to have children by her.

For these things withdraw au from the law of God, and blind the inclination of the soul, and teach arrogance, and suffer not a man to have compassion upon his neighbour.

For he is a slave to two contrary passions, and cannot obey God, because they have blinded his soul, and he walketh in the day as in the night.

For the sake of money I lost my children, and had not my repentance, and my humiliation, and the prayers of my father been accepted, I should have died childless.

And there is no time at which the works of men can be hid; for on the heart itself have they been written down before the Lord.

For the Lord hath despised me, and I have not borne children to Jacob.

And Rachel said to her: Thou shalt have Jacob this night for the mandrakes of thy son,

And had not Leah my mother paid the two apples for the sake of his company, she would have borne eight sons; for this reason she bare six, and Rachel bare the two: for on account of the mandrakes the Lord visited her.

I am not conscious that I have sinned all my days, save in thought.

Nor yet do I remember that I have done any iniquity, except the sin of ignorance which I committed against Joseph; for I covenanted with my brethren not to tell my father what had been done.

For Simeon and Gad came against Joseph to kill him, and he said unto them with tears: Pity me, my brethren, have mercy upon the bowels of Jacob our father: lay not upon me your hands to shed innocent blood, for I have not sinned against you.

For Simeon and Gad came against Joseph to kill him, and he said unto them with tears: Pity me, my brethren, have mercy upon the bowels of Jacob our father: lay not upon me your hands to shed innocent blood, for I have not sinned against you.

For I have learnt in the writing of my fathers, that ye shall be divided in Israel, and ye shall follow two kings, and shall work every abomination.

And after these things ye shall remember the Lord and repent, and He shall have mercy upon you, for He is merciful and compassionate.

I have proved in my heart, and in my whole life, that truth

For I have read in the book of Enoch, the righteous, that your prince is Satan, and that all the spirits of wickedness and pride will conspire to attend constantly on the sons of Levi, to cause them to sin before the Lord.

And the things which ye have heard from your father, do ye also impart to your children that the Saviour of the Gentiles may receive you; for he is true and long-suffering, meek and lowly, and teacheth by his works the law of God.

I have seen in my life envy and death, yet I went not astray, but persevered in the truth--of the Lord.

Fear ye the Lord, and love your neighbour; and even though the spirits of Beliar claim you to afflict you with every evil, yet shall they not have dominion over you, even as they had not over Joseph my brother.,
