AbouttheBookofEnoch
(Alsoknownas"EthiopianEnoch")
TheBookofEnoch(alsoknownas1Enoch)wasoncecherishedbyJewsand
Christians alike, this book later fell into disfavor with powerful theologians -
preciselybecauseofitscontroversialstatementsonthenatureanddeedsofthe
fallenangels.
TheEnochianwritings,inadditiontomanyotherwritingsthatwereexcluded(or
lost)fromtheBible(i.e.,theBookofTobit,Esdras,etc.)werewidelyrecognized
by many of the early church fathers as "Apocryphal" writings. The term
"apocrypha" is derived from the Greek word meaning "hidden" or "secret".
Originally,theimportofthetermmayhavebeencomplimentaryinthattheterm
was applied to sacred books whose contents were too exalted to be made
availabletothegeneralpublic.
In Dan.12:9-10 we hear of words that are shut up until the end of time and,
wordsthatthewiseshallunderstandandthewickedshallnot.Inaddition,4Ezra
14:44ff.mentions94books,ofwhich24(theOT)weretobepublishedand70
were to be delivered only to the wise among the people. Gradually, the term
"apocrypha"tookonapejorativeconnotation,fortheorthodoxyofthesehidden
books was often questionable. Origen (Comm. in Matt. 10.18; p. 13.881)
distinguished between books that were to be read in public worship and
apocryphal books. Because these secret books were often preserved for use
withintheesotericcirclesofthedivinely-knitbelievers,manyofthecritically-
spiritedor"unenlightened"ChurchFathersfoundthemselvesoutsidetherealm
of understanding, and therefore came to apply the term "apocryphal" to,what
theyclaimedtobe,hereticalworkswhichwereforbiddentoberead.
InProtestantparlance,"theApocrypha"designate15works,allbutoneofwhich
areJewishinoriginandfoundintheSeptuagint(partsof2EsdrasareChristian
and Latin in origin). Although some of them were composed in Palestine in
AramaicorHebrew,theywerenotacceptedintotheJewishcanonformedlatein
the2ndcenturyAD(Canonicity,67:31-35).TheReformers,influencedbythe
JewishcanonoftheOldTestament,didnotconsiderthesebooksonaparwith
the rest of the Scriptures; thus the custom arose of making the Apocrypha a
separate section in the Protestant Bible, or sometimes even of omitting them
entirely (Canonicity, 67:44-46). The Catholic view, expressedas a doctrine of
faith at the Council of Trent, is that 12 of these 15 works (in a different
enumeration, however) are canonical Scripture; they are called the
DeuterocanonicalBooks(Canonicity,67:21,42-43).
ThethreebooksoftheProtestantApocryphathatarenotacceptedbyCatholics
are1-2Esdrasand the Prayer of Manasseh.ThethemeoftheBookof Enoch
dealing with the nature and deeds of the fallen angels so infuriated the later
Church fathers that one, Filastrius, actually condemned it openly as heresy
(Filastrius, Liber de Haeresibus, no. 108). Nor did the rabbis deign to give
credencetothebook'steachingaboutangels.RabbiSimeonbenJochaiinthe
secondcenturyA.D.pronouncedacurseuponthosewhobelievedit(Delitzsch,
p. 223). So the book was denounced, banned, cursed, no doubt burned and
shredded-andlastbutnotleast,lost(andconvenientlyforgotten)forathousand
years.Butwithanuncannypersistence,theBookofEnochfounditswayback
intocirculationtwocenturiesago.
In1773,rumorsofasurvivingcopyofthebookdrewScottishexplorerJames
Bruce to distant Ethiopia. True to hearsay, the Book of Enoch had been
preservedbytheEthiopicchurch,whichputitrightalongsidetheotherbooksof
the Bible. Bruce secured not one, but three Ethiopic copies of the book and
broughtthembacktoEuropeandBritain.Whenin1821Dr.RichardLaurence,a
HebrewprofessoratOxford,producedthefirstEnglishtranslationofthework,
themodernworldgaineditsfirstglimpseoftheforbiddenmysteriesofEnoch.
MostscholarssaythatthepresentformofthestoryintheBookofEnochwas
pennedsometimeduringthesecondcenturyB.C.andwaspopularforatleast
fivehundredyears.TheearliestEthiopictextwasapparentlymadefromaGreek
manuscriptoftheBookofEnoch,whichitselfwasacopyofanearliertext.The
originalwasapparentlywritteninSemiticlanguage,nowthoughttobeAramaic.
Thoughitwasoncebelievedtobe post-Christian(the similaritiestoChristian
terminologyandteachingarestriking),recentdiscoveriesofcopiesofthebook
among the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran prove that the book was in
existence before the time of Jesus Christ. But the date of the original writing
uponwhichthesecondcenturyB.C.Qumrancopieswerebasedisshroudedin
obscurity.Itis,inaword,old.Ithasbeenlargelytheopinionofhistoriansthat
the book does not really contain the authentic words of the ancient biblical
patriarch Enoch,since he would have lived (based on the chronologies in the
BookofGenesis)severalthousandyearsearlierthanthefirstknownappearance
of the book attributed to him. Although in the book he commands his son
Methuselahtopreservethebookuntofuturegenerations,whichinitselfisacall
tocopythebookshewrotesotheymightnotbelosttotheages.
Despiteitsunknownorigins,ChristiansonceacceptedthewordsofthisBookof
Enochasauthenticscripture,especiallythepartaboutthefallenangelsandtheir
prophesied judgment. In fact, many of the key concepts used by Jesus Christ
himselfseemdirectlyconnectedtotermsandideasintheBookofEnoch.Thus,
itishardtoavoidtheconclusionthatJesushadnotonlystudiedthebook,but
alsorespectedithighlyenoughtoadoptandelaborateonitsspecificdescriptions
ofthecomingkingdomanditsthemeofinevitablejudgmentdescendingupon
"thewicked" -theterm most oftenused in theOld Testamentto describethe
Watchers.
There is abundant proof that Christ approved of the Book of Enoch. Over a
hundredphrasesin the New TestamentfindprecedentsintheBook of Enoch.
Anotherremarkable bit of evidencefortheearly Christians' acceptanceofthe
Book of Enoch was for many years buried under the King James Bible's
mistranslationofLuke9:35,describingthetransfigurationofChrist:"Andthere
came a voice out of the cloud, saying, 'This is my beloved Son: hear him."
Apparently the translator here wished to make this verse agree with a similar
verseinMatthewandMark.ButLuke'sverseintheoriginalGreekreads:"This
ismySon,theElectOne(fromtheGreekhoeklelegmenos,lit.,"theelectone"):
hearhim."The"ElectOne"isamostsignificantterm(foundfourteentimes)in
theBookofEnoch.IfthebookwasindeedknowntotheapostlesofChrist,with
itsabundantdescriptionsoftheElectOnewhoshould"situpon the throne of
glory"andtheElectOnewhoshould"dwellinthemidstofthem,"thenthegreat
scripturalauthenticityisaccordedtotheBookofEnochwhenthe"voiceoutof
thecloud"tellstheapostles,"ThisismySon,theElectOne"-theonepromised
intheBookofEnoch.
The Book of Jude tells us in verse 14 that "Enoch, the seventh from Adam,
prophesied..." Jude also, inverse 15,makes a direct reference to the Book of
Enoch(2:1),wherehewrites,"toexecutejudgmentonall,toconvictallwhoare
ungodly..."ThetimedifferencebetweenEnochandJudeisapproximately3400
years. Therefore, Jude's reference to the Enoch's prophesies strongly leans
towardtheconclusionthatthesewrittenprophesieswereavailabletohimatthat
time.
FragmentsoftenEnochmanuscriptswerefoundamongtheDeadSeaScrolls.
The famous scrolls actually comprise only one part of the total findings at
Qumran.MuchoftherestwasEnochianliterature,copiesoftheBookofEnoch,
andotherapocryphalworksintheEnochiantradition,liketheBookofJubilees.
With so many copies around, the Essenes could well have used the Enochian
writingsasacommunityprayerbookorteacher'smanualandstudytext.
The Book of Enoch was also used by writers of the non-canonical (i.e.
apocryphalor"hidden")texts.TheauthoroftheapocryphalEpistleofBarnabas
quotesthe Book ofEnoch three times,twicecalling it "theScripture,"a term
specificallydenotingtheinspiredWordofGod(Epis.ofBarnabas4:3,16:5,6).
OtherapocryphalworksreflectknowledgeoftheEnochstoryoftheWatchers,
notablytheTestamentsoftheTwelvePatriarchsandtheBookofJubilees.
Many of theearly church fathersalso supported theEnochian writings. Justin
Martyrascribedalleviltodemonswhomheallegedtobetheoffspringofthe
angels who fell through lust for women-directly referencing the Enochian
writings. Athenagoras, writing in his work called Legatio in about 170 A.D.,
regardsEnochasatrueprophet.Hedescribestheangelswhich"violatedboth
theirownnatureandtheiroffice."Inhiswritings,hegoesintodetailaboutthe
natureoffallenangelsandthecauseoftheirfall,whichcomesdirectlyfromthe
Enochianwritings.
Manyotherchurch fathers: Tatian(110-172);Irenaeus,Bishop of Lyons (115-
185);ClementofAlexandria(150-220);Tertullian(160-230);Origen(186-255);
Lactantius (260-330); in addition to: Methodius of Philippi, Minucius Felix,
Commodianus,andAmbroseofMilanalso-alsoapprovedofandsupportedthe
Enochianwritings.
Thetwentieth-centurydiscoveryofseveralAramaicEnochiantextsamongthe
Dead Sea Scrolls prompted Catholicscholar J.T. Milik to compile acomplete
history of the Enochian writings, including translations of the Aramaic
manuscripts.Milik's400-pagebook,publishedin1976byOxford(J.T.Milik,
ed. and trans., The Books of Enoch: Aramaic Fragments of Qumran Cave 4,
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1976) is a milestone in Enochian scholarship, and
Milikhimselfisnodoubtoneofthefinestexpertsonthesubject.Hisopinions,
basedastheyareonyearsofin-depthresearch,arehighlyrespected.
OnebyonetheargumentsagainsttheBookofEnochfadeaway.Thedaymay
soon arrive when the final complaints about the Book of Enoch's lack of
historicityand"latedate"arealsosilencedbynewevidenceofthebook'sreal
antiquity.SuchevidencewouldbeperhapsthereturnofEnoch,ofwhomthereis
norecordofeverdyingbutratherstilllivingintheKingdomofHeaven.Itis
appointed unto man once to die, so Enoch has to die once in order for that
Scripturetobefulfilled.Spiritualscholarshaveattributedthefulfilmentofthe
propheciesofEnochbeingrevealedinRevelation11ofwhichwefindthereturn
of Enoch with a second reprimand of the world for three and a half years.

Chapter1
TheWordsoftheBlessingofEnoch
1 The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and
righteous,whowillbelivinginthedaysoftribulation,whenallthewickedand
godlessaretoberemoved.
2 And Enoch, a righteous man whose eyes were opened by God took up his
parableandsaid,"IsawthevisionoftheHolyOneintheheavens,whichthe
angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I
understoodasIsaw,butnotforthisgeneration,butforaremoteonewhichisfor
tocome."
3ConcerningtheelectIsaid,andtookup my parable concerning them: "The
HolyGreatOnewillcomeforthfromHisdwelling,
4AndtheeternalGodwilltreadupontheearth,evenonMountSinaiandwill
appearinthestrengthofHismightfromtheheavenofheavens.
5AndallshallbesmittenwithfearandtheWatchersshallquake,andgreatfear
andtremblingshallseizethemuntotheendsoftheearth.
6Andthehighmountainsshallbeshakenandthehighhillsshallbemadelow,
andshallmeltlikewaxbeforetheflame.
7Andtheearthshallbewhollyrentinsunderandallthatisupontheearthshall
perish,andthereshallbeajudgementuponall.
8ButwiththerighteousHewillmakepeace.
Andwillprotecttheelect,
Andmercyshallbeuponthem.
AndtheyshallallbelongtoGod,
Andtheyshallbeprospered,
Andtheyshallallbeblessed.
AndHewillhelpthemall,
Andlightshallappearuntothem,
AndHewillmakepeacewiththem.
9 And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute
judgementuponall,Andtodestroyalltheungodly:AndtoconvictallfleshOf
alltheworksoftheirungodlinesswhichtheyhaveungodlycommitted,Andof
allthehardthingswhichungodlysinnershavespokenagainstHim."
Chapter2
TheCreation
1Observeyeeverythingthattakesplaceintheheaven,howtheydonotchange
theirorbits,andtheluminarieswhichareintheheaven,howtheyallriseandset
inordereachinitsseason,andtransgressnotagainsttheirappointedorder.
2Behold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thethingsuponearthchange,
butalltheworksofGodappeartoyou.Beholdthesummerandthewinter,how
thewholeearthisfilledwithwater,andcloudsanddewandrainlieuponit.
3 Observe and see how in the winter all the trees seem as though they had
witheredandshedalltheirleaves,exceptfourteentrees,whichdonotlosetheir
foliagebutretaintheoldfoliagefromtwotothreeyearstillthenewcomes.
4Andagain,observeyethedaysofsummerhowthesunisabovetheearthover
againstit.And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.
5Observeyehowthetreescoverthemselveswithgreenleavesandbearfruit:
whereforegiveyeheedandknowwithregardtoallHisworks,andrecognize
howHethatlivethforeverhathmadethemso.
6 And all His works go on thus from year to year for ever, and all the tasks
which they accomplish for Him, and their tasks change not, but according as
Godhathordainedsoisitdone.
7Andbeholdhowtheseaandtheriversinlikemanneraccomplishandchange
nottheirtasksfromHiscommandments.
8Butyehavenotbeensteadfast,nordonethecommandmentsoftheLord,But
ye have turned away and spoken proud and hard words With your impure
mouthsagainstHisgreatness.Oh,yehard−hearted,yeshallfindnopeace.
9Thereforeshallyeexecrateyourdays,andtheyearsofyourlifeshallperish,
andtheyearsofyourdestructionshallbemultipliedineternalabomination,and
yeshallfindnomercy.
10Inthosedaysyeshallmakeyournamesaneternalabominationuntoallthe
righteous,andbyyoushallallwhocurse,curse.Allthesinnersandgodlessshall
imprecatebyyou.Andforyou,thegodlessthereshallbeacurse."
11Andalltherighteousshallrejoice,andthereshallbeforgivenessofsins,and
everymercyandpeaceandforbearance.
12Thereshallbesalvationuntothem,agoodlylight.
13 Andfor all of you sinnersthere shallbe no salvation but onyou all shall
abidethecurseofthebeast.
14Butfortheelectthereshallbelightandjoyandpeace,andtheyshallinherit
theearth.
15Andthenthereshallbebestowedupontheelectwisdom,andtheyshallall
liveandneveragainsineitherthroughungodlinessorthroughpride:Butthey
whoarewiseshallbehumble.
16Andtheyshallnotagaintransgress,norshalltheysinallthedaysoftheirlife,
norshalltheydieofangerorwrathbuttheyshallcompletethenumberofthe
daysoftheirlife.
17Andtheirlivesshallbeincreasedinpeace,andtheyearsoftheirjoyshallbe

FallenAngels
1Anditcametopasswhenthechildrenofmenhadmultipliedthatinthosedays
werebornuntothembeautifulandcomelydaughters.
2Andtheangels,thechildrenoftheheaven,sawandlustedafterthem,andsaid
tooneanother:"Come,letuschooseuswivesfromamongthechildrenofmen
andbegetuschildren."
3AndSemjaza,whowastheirleader,saiduntothem:"Ifearyewillnotindeed
agreetodothisdeed,andIaloneshallhavetopaythepenaltyofagreatsin."
4Andtheyallansweredhimandsaid:"Letusallswearanoath,andallbind

5Thenswaretheyalltogetherandboundthemselvesbymutualimprecations
uponit.Andtheywereinalltwohundred;whodescendedinthedaysofJared
onthesummitofMountHermon,andtheycalleditMountHermon,because
theyhadswornandboundthemselvesbymutualimprecationsuponit.
6Andthesearethenamesoftheirleaders:Samlazaz,theirleader,Araklba,
Rameel,Kokablel,Tamlel,Ramlel,Danel,Ezeqeel,Baraqijal,Asael,Armaros,
Batarel,Ananel,Zaqlel,Samsapeel,Satarel,Turel,Jomjael,Sariel.Theseare
theirchiefsoftens.
7Andalltheotherstogetherwiththemtookuntothemselveswives,andeach
choseforhimselfone,andtheybegantogoinuntothemandtodefile
themselveswiththem.
8Andtheytaughtthemcharmsandenchantments,andthecuttingofroots,and
madethemacquaintedwithplants.
9Andtheybecamepregnant,andtheybaregreatgiants,whoseheightwasthree
thousandells:Whoconsumedalltheacquisitionsofmen.Andwhenmencould
nolongersustainthem,thegiantsturnedagainstthemanddevouredmankind.
10Andtheybegantosinagainstbirds,andbeasts,andreptiles,andfish,andto
devouroneanother'sflesh,anddrinktheblood.Thentheearthlaidaccusation
againstthelawlessones.
11AndAzazel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,andbracelets,andornaments,andtheuseofantimony,andthe
beautifyingoftheeyelids,andallkindsofcostlystones,andallcolouring
tinctures.
12Andtherearosemuchgodlessness,andtheycommittedfornication,andthey
wereledastray,andbecamecorruptinalltheirways.
13Semjazataughtenchantmentsandroot−cuttings,Armarostheresolvingof
enchantments,Baraqijaltaughtastrology,Kokabeltheconstellations,Ezeqeel
theknowledgeoftheclouds,Araqielthesignsoftheearth,Shamsielthesignsof
thesun,andSarielthecourseofthemoon.
14Andasmenperished,theycried,andtheircrywentuptoheaven.
Chapter4
IntercessionofAngels
1AndthenMichael,Uriel,Raphael,andGabriellookeddownfromheavenand
sawmuchbloodbeingshedupontheearth,andalllawlessnessbeingwrought
upontheearth.
2Andtheysaidonetoanother,"Theearthmadewithoutinhabitantcriesthe
voiceoftheircryingstuptothegatesofheaven."
3Andnowtoyou,theholyonesofheaven,thesoulsofmenmaketheirsuit,
saying,"BringourcausebeforetheMostHigh."
4AndtheysaidtotheLordoftheages,"Lordoflords,Godofgods,Kingof
kings,andGod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andopeninThysight,andThouseestallthings,andnothing
canhideitselffromThee.
5ThouseestwhatAzazelhathdone,whohathtaughtallunrighteousnesson
earthandrevealedtheeternalsecretswhichwereinheaven,whichmenwere
strivingtolearn;andSamlazaz,towhomThouhastgivenauthoritytobearrule
overhisassociates.
6Andtheyhavegonetothedaughtersofmenupontheearth,andhaveslept
withthewomen,andhavedefiledthemselves,andrevealedtothemallkindsof
sins.Andthewomenhavebornegiants,andthewholeearthhastherebybeen
filledwithbloodandunrighteousness.
7Andnow,behold,thesoulsofthosewhohavediedarecryingoutmakingtheir
suittothegatesofheaven,andtheirlamentationshaveascendedandcannot
ceasebecauseofthelawlessdeedswhicharewroughtontheearth.
8AndThouknowestallthingsbeforetheycometopass,andThouseestthese
thingsandThoudostsufferthem,andThoudostnotsaytouswhatwearetodo
totheminregardtothese."
9ThensaidtheMostHigh,theHolyandGreatOnespake,andsentUrieltothe
sonofLamechandsaidtohim,"GotoNoahandtellhiminmyname'Hide

bedestroyed,andadelugeisabouttocomeuponthewholeearth,andwill
destroyallthatisonit.Andnowinstructhimthathemayescapeandhisseed
maybepreservedforallthegenerationsoftheworld."
10AndagaintheLordsaidtoRaphael,"BindAzazelhandandfoot,andcast
himintothedarkness:andmakeanopeninginthedesert,whichisinDudael,
andcasthimtherein.Andplaceuponhimroughandjaggedrocks,andcover
himwithdarkness,andlethimabidethereforever,andcoverhisfacethathe
maynotseelight.Andonthedayofthegreatjudgementheshallbecastintothe
fire.
11Andhealtheearthwhichtheangelshavecorrupted,andproclaimthehealing
oftheearth,thattheymayhealtheplague,andthatallthechildrenofmenmay

taughttheirsons.Andthewholeearthhasbeencorruptedthroughtheworksthat
weretaughtbyAzazel,tohimascribeallsin."
12AndtoGabrielsaidtheLord,"Proceedagainstthebastardsandthe
reprobates,andagainstthechildrenoffornicationanddestroythechildrenofthe
Watchersfromamongstmen.Sendthemoneagainsttheotherthattheymay

fortheyhopetoliveaneternallife,andthateachoneofthemwilllivefive
hundredyears."
13AndtheLordsaiduntoMichael,"Go,bindSamlazazandhisassociateswho
haveunitedthemselveswithwomensoastohavedefiledthemselveswiththem
inalltheiruncleanness.Andwhentheirsonshaveslain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judgementandoftheir
consummation,tillthejudgementthatisforeverandeverisconsummated.In
thosedaystheyshallbeledofftotheabyssoffireandtothetormentandthe
prisoninwhichtheyshallbeconfinedforever.
14Andwhosoevershallbecondemnedanddestroyedwillfromthenceforthbe
boundtogetherwiththemtotheendofallgenerations.anddestroyallthespirits
ofthereprobateandthechildrenoftheWatchersbecausetheyhavewronged
mankind.
15Destroy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truthshallbeplantedintruthandjoy
forevermore.
16Andthenshallalltherighteousescapeandshalllivetilltheybegetthousands
ofchildren,andallthedaysoftheiryouthandtheiroldageshalltheycomplete
inpeace.
17Andthenshallthewholeearthbetilledinrighteousness,andshallallbe
plantedwithtreesandbefullofblessing.
18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inabundance,andasfor

19Andcleansethoutheearthfromalloppression,andfromallunrighteousness,
andfromallsin,andfromallgodlessness,andalltheuncleannessthatis
wroughtupontheearthdestroyfromofftheearth.
20Andallthechildrenofmenshallbecomerighteous,andallnationsshalloffer
adorationandshallpraiseMe,andallshallworshipMe.Andtheearthshallbe
cleansedfromalldefilement,andfromallsin,andfromallpunishment,and
fromalltorment,andIwillneveragainsenduponitfromgenerationto
generationandforever.
21AndinthosedaysIwillopenthestorechambersofblessingwhichareinthe
heaven,soastosendthemdownupontheearthovertheworkandlabourofthe
childrenofmen.Andtruthandpeaceshallbeassociatedtogetherthroughoutall
thedaysoftheworldandthroughoutallthegenerationsofmen."
22BeforethesethingsEnochwashidden,andnooneofthechildrenofmen
knewwherehewashidden,andwhereheabode,andwhathadbecomeofhim.
AndhisactivitieshadtodowiththeWatchers,andhisdayswerewiththeholy
ones.
23AndIEnochwasblessingtheLordofMajestyandtheKingoftheages,and
lo!theWatcherscalledme,Enochthescribe,andsaidtome:"Enoch,thouscribe
ofrighteousness,go,declaretotheWatchers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.
24Saytothem:'Yehavewroughtgreatdestructionontheearthandyeshall
havenopeacenorforgivenessofsin.'
25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."
26AndEnochwentandsaid:"Azazel,thoushalthavenopeace,asevere
sentencehasgoneforthagainsttheetoputtheeinbondsandthoushaltnothave
tolerationnorrequest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men."
27ThenIwentandspoketothemalltogether,andtheywereallafraid,andfear
andtremblingseizedthem.Andtheybesoughtmetodrawupapetitionforthem
thattheymightfindforgiveness,andtoreadtheirpetitioninthepresenceofthe
Lordofheaven.
28ForfromthenceforwardtheycouldnotspeakwithHimnorliftuptheireyes
toheavenforshameoftheirsinsforwhichtheyhadbeencondemned.
29ThenIwroteouttheirpetition,andtheprayerinregardtotheirspiritsand
theirdeedsindividuallyandinregardtotheirrequeststhattheyshouldhave
forgivenessandlength.
30AndIwentoffandsatdownatthewatersofDan,inthelandofDan,tothe
southofthewestofHermon,IreadtheirpetitiontillIfellasleep.
31Andbeholdadreamcametome,andvisionsfelldownuponme,andIsaw
visionsofchastisement,andavoicecamebiddingmetotellittothesonsof
heaven,andreprimandthem.
32AndwhenIawaked,Icameuntothem,andtheywereallsittinggathered
together,weepinginAbelsjail,whichisbetweenLebanonandSeneser,with
theirfacescovered.
33AndIrecountedbeforethemallthevisionswhichIhadseeninsleep,andI
begantospeakthewordsofrighteousness,andtoreprimandtheheavenly
Watchers.
Chapter5
BookoftheWordsofRighteousness
1Thebookofthewordsofrighteousness,andofthereprimandoftheeternal
WatchersinaccordancewiththecommandoftheHolyGreatOneinthatvisionI
sawinmysleep.
2WhatIwillnowsaywithatongueoffleshandwiththebreathofmymouth,
whichtheGreatOnehasgiventomentoconversetherewithandunderstand
withtheheart.
3AsHehascreatedandgiventomanthepowerofunderstandingthewordof
wisdom,sohathHecreatedmealsoandgivenmethepowerofreprimandingthe
Watchers,thechildrenofheaven.
4"Iwroteoutyourpetition,andinmyvisionitappearedthus,thatyourpetition
willnotbegranteduntoyouthroughoutallthedaysofeternity,andthat
judgementhasbeenfinallypasseduponyou.
5Yourpetitionwillnotbegranteduntoyou.Andfromhenceforthyou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.
6Andpreviouslyyoushallhaveseenthedestructionofyourbelovedsonsand
yeshallhavenopleasureinthem,buttheyshallfallbeforeyoubythesword.
7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thewriting
whichIhavewritten.
8Andthevisionwasshowntomethus:Behold,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thevisioncausedmetoflyandliftedmeupward,
andboremeintoheaven.
9AndIwentintillIdrewnightoawallwhichisbuiltofcrystalsand
surroundedbytonguesoffire:anditbegantoaffrightme.
10AndIwentintothetonguesoffireanddrewnightoalargehousewhichwas
builtofcrystalsandthewallsofthehousewerelikeatesselatedfloormadeof
crystals,anditsgroundworkwasofcrystal.
11Itsceilingwaslikethepathofthestarsandthelightnings,andbetweenthem
werefierycherubim,andtheirheavenwaswater.
12Aflamingfiresurroundedthewalls,anditsportalsblazedwithfire.
13AndIenteredintothathouse,anditwashotasfireandcoldasice.There
werenodelightsoflifetherein;fearcoveredme,andtremblinggotholdupon
me.
14AndasIquakedandtrembled,IfelluponmyfaceandIbeheldavision,and
lo!therewasasecondhouse,greaterthantheformer,andtheentireportalstood
openbeforeme,anditwasbuiltofflamesoffire.
15Andineveryrespectitsoexcelledinsplendorandmagnificenceandextent
thatIcannotdescribetoyouitssplendoranditsextent.
16Anditsfloorwasoffire,andaboveitwerelightningsandthepathofthe
stars,anditsceilingalsowasflamingfire.AndIlookedandsawthereinalofty
throne,itsappearancewasascrystal,andthewheelsthereofastheshiningsun,
andtherewasthevisionofcherubim.
17AndfromunderneaththethronecamestreamsofflamingfiresothatIcould
notlookthereon.
18AndtheGreatGlorysatthereon,andHisraimentshonemorebrightlythan
thesunandwaswhiterthananysnow.
19NoneoftheangelscouldenterandcouldbeholdHisfacebyreasonofthe
magnificenceandgloryandnofleshcouldbeholdHim.
20TheflamingfirewasroundaboutHim,andagreatfirestoodbeforeHim,and
nonearoundcoulddrawnighHim;tenthousandtimestenthousandwerebefore
Him,yetHeneedednocounselor.
21AndthemostholyoneswhowerenightoHimdidnotleavebynightnor
departfromHim.AnduntilthenIhadbeenprostrateonmyface,tremblingand
theLordcalledmewithHisownmouth,andsaidtome:"Comehither,Enoch,
andhearmyword."
22Andoneoftheholyonescametomeandwakedme,andHemademeriseup
andapproachthedoor,andIbowedmyfacedownwards.
23AndHeansweredandsaidtome,andIheardHisvoice:"Fearnot,Enoch,
thourighteousmanandscribeofrighteousness.Approachhitherandhearmy
voice.
24Andgo,saytotheWatchersofheaven,whohavesenttheetointercedefor
them:'Youshouldintercedeformen,andnotmenforyou.Whereforehaveye
leftthehigh,holy,andeternalheaven,andlainwithwomen,anddefiled
yourselveswiththedaughtersofmenandtakentoyourselveswives,anddone
likethechildrenofearth,andbegottengiantsasyoursons.
25Andthoughyewereholy,spiritual,livingtheeternallife,youhavedefiled
yourselveswiththebloodofwomen,andhavebegottenwiththebloodofflesh,
and,asthechildrenofmen,havelustedafterfleshandbloodasthosealsodo
whodieandperish.
26ThereforehaveIgiventhemwivesalsothattheymightimpregnatethem,and
begetchildrenbythem,thatthusnothingmightbewantingtothemonearth.
27Butyouwereformerlyspiritual,livingtheeternallife,andimmortalforall
generationsoftheworld.AndthereforeIhavenotappointedwivesforyou;for
asforthespiritualonesoftheheaven,inheavenistheirdwelling.
28Andnow,thegiants,whoareproducedfromthespiritsandflesh,shallbe
calledevilspiritsupontheearth,andontheearthshallbetheirdwelling.
29Evilspiritshaveproceededfromtheirbodies;becausetheyarebornfrom
menandfromtheWatchersistheirbeginningandprimalorigin;theyshallbe
evilspiritsonearth,andevilspiritsshalltheybecalled.
30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
neverthelesshungerandthirst,andcauseoffences.
31Andthesespiritsshallriseupagainstthechildrenofmenandagainstthe
women,becausetheyhaveproceededfromthem.
32Fromthedaysoftheslaughteranddestructionanddeathofthegiants,from
thesoulsofwhosefleshthespirits,havinggoneforth,shalldestroywithout
incurringjudgement,thusshalltheydestroyuntilthedayoftheconsummation,
thegreatjudgementinwhichtheageshallbeconsummated,overtheWatchers
andthegodless,yea,shallbewhollyconsummated.
33AndnowastotheWatcherswhohavesenttheetointercedeforthem,who
hadbeenaforetimeinheaven,saytothem:"You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havemadeknowntothewomen,and
throughthesemysterieswomenandmenworkmuchevilonearth."
34Saytothemtherefore:"Youhavenopeace."

2Andtheybroughtmetotheplaceofdarkness,andtoamountainthepointof

3AndIsawtheplacesoftheluminariesandthetreasuriesofthestarsandofthe

5AndIcametoariveroffireinwhichthefireflowslikewateranddischarges
itselfintothegreatseatowardsthewest.
6Isawthegreatriversandcametothegreatriverandtothegreatdarkness,and
wenttotheplacewherenofleshwalks.Isawthemountainsofthedarknessof

7Isawthemouthsofalltheriversoftheearthandthemouthofthedeep.
8Isawthetreasuriesofallthewinds,IsawhowHehadfurnishedwiththemthe

9AndIsawthecorner−stoneoftheearth,Isawthefourwindswhichbearthe
firmamentoftheheaven.
10AndIsawhowthewindsstretchoutthevaultsofheaven,andhavetheir
stationbetweenheavenandearth:thesearethepillarsoftheheaven.
11Isawthewindsofheavenwhichturnandbringthecircumferenceofthesun
andallthestarstotheirsetting.
12Isawthewindsontheearthcarryingtheclouds:Isawthepathsoftheangels.
13IsawattheendoftheearththefirmamentoftheheavenaboveandI
proceededandsawaplacewhichburnsdayandnight,wherethereareseven
mountainsofmagnificentstones.
14Threetowardstheeast,andthreetowardsthesouth.Andasforthosetowards
theeast,wasofcolouredstone,andoneofpearl,andoneofjacinth,andthose
towardsthesouthofredstone.
15ButthemiddleonereachedtoheavenlikethethroneofGod,ofalabaster,and
thesummitofthethronewasofsapphire.
16AndIsawaflamingfire.Andbeyondthesemountainsisaregiontheendof
thegreatearth:theretheheavenswerecompleted.
17AndIsawadeepabyss,withcolumnsofheavenlyfire,andamongthemI
sawcolumnsoffirefall,whichwerebeyondmeasurealiketowardstheheight
andtowardsthedepth.
18AndbeyondthatabyssIsawaplacewhichhadnofirmamentoftheheaven
above,andnofirmlyfoundedearthbeneathit:therewasnowateruponit,and
nobirds,butitwasawasteandhorribleplace.
19Isawtheresevenstarslikegreatburningmountains,andtome,whenI
inquiredregardingthem.Theangelsaid:"Thisplaceistheendofheavenand
earth.Thishasbecomeaprisonforthestarsandthehostofheaven.
20Andthestarswhichrolloverthefirearetheywhichhavetransgressedthe
commandmentoftheLordinthebeginningoftheirrising,becausetheydidnot
comeforthattheirappointedtimes.
21AndHewaswrothwiththem,andboundthemtillthetimewhentheirguilt
shouldbeconsummatedfortenthousandyears."
22AndUrielsaidtome:"Hereshallstandtheangelswhohaveconnected
themselveswithwomen,andtheirspiritsassumingmanydifferentformsare
defilingmankindandshallleadthemastrayintosacrificingtodemonsasgods.
23Hereshalltheystand,tillthedayofthegreatjudgementinwhichtheyshall
bejudgedtilltheyaremadeanendof.Andthewomenalsooftheangelswho
wentastrayshallbecomesirens."
24AndI,Enoch,alonesawthevision,theendsofallthings:andnomanshall
seeasIhaveseen.
Chapter7
TheHolyAngels
1Andthesearethenamesoftheholyangelswhowatchmankind.
2Uriel,oneoftheholyangels,whoisovertheworldandoverTartarus.
3Raphael,oneoftheholyangels,whoisoverthespiritsofmen.
4Raguel,oneoftheholyangelswhotakesvengeanceontheworldofthe
luminaries.
5Michael,oneoftheholyangels,towit,hethatissetoverthebestpartof
mankindandoverchaos.
6Saraqael,oneoftheholyangels,whoissetoverthespirits,whosininthe
spirit.
7Gabriel,oneoftheholyangels,whoisoverParadiseandtheserpentsandthe
Cherubim.
8Remiel,oneoftheholyangels,whomGodsetoverthosewhorise.
9AndIproceededtowherethingswerechaotic.AndIsawtheresomething
horrible:Isawneitheraheavenabovenorafirmlyfoundedearth,butaplace
chaoticandhorrible.
10AndthereIsawsevenstarsoftheheavenboundtogetherinit,likegreat
mountainsandburningwithfire.
11ThenIsaid:"Forwhatsinaretheybound,andonwhataccounthavethey
beencastinhither?"
12ThensaidUriel,oneoftheholyangels,whowaswithme,andwaschiefover
them,andsaid:"Enoch,whydostthouask,andwhyartthoueagerforthetruth?
Theseareofthenumberofthestarsofheaven,whichhavetransgressedthe
commandmentoftheLord,andareboundheretilltenthousandyears,thetime
entailedbytheirsins,areconsummated."
13AndfromthenceIwenttoanotherplace,whichwasstillmorehorriblethan
theformer,andIsawahorriblething.Agreatfiretherewhichburntandblazed,
andtheplacewascleftasfarastheabyss,beingfullofgreatdescending
columnsoffire.NeitheritsextentormagnitudecouldIsee,norcouldI
conjecture.
14ThenIsaid:"Howfearfulistheplaceandhowterribletolookupon!"
15ThenUrielansweredme,oneoftheholyangelswhowaswithme,andsaid
untome:"Enoch,whyhastthousuchfearandaffright?"
16AndIanswered:"Becauseofthisfearfulplace,andbecauseofthespectacle
ofthepain."
17Andhesaiduntome:"Thisplaceistheprisonoftheangels,andherethey
willbeimprisonedforever."
18AndthenceIwenttoanotherplace,themountainofhardrock.
19Andtherewasinitfourhollowplaces,deepandwideandverysmooth.How
smootharethehollowplacesanddeepanddarktolookat.
20ThenRaphaelanswered,oneoftheholyangelswhowaswithme,andsaid
untome:"Thesehollowplaceshavebeencreatedforthisverypurpose,thatthe
spiritsofthe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judgementandtilltheirappointedperiod,till
thegreatjudgementuponthem."
21Isawadeadmanmakingsuit,andhisvoicewentforthtoheavenandmade
suit.AndIaskedRaphaeltheangelwhowaswithme,andIsaiduntohim:"This
spiritwhichmakethsuit,whoseisit,whosevoicegoethforthandmakethsuitto
heaven?"
22Andheansweredmesaying:"ThisisthespiritwhichwentforthfromAbel,
whomhisbrotherCainslew,andhemakeshissuitagainsthimtillhisseedis
destroyedfromthefaceoftheearth,andhisseedisannihilatedfromamongst
theseedofmen."
23TheIaskedregardingit,andregardingallthehollowplaces:"Whyisone
separatedfromtheother?"
24Andheansweredmeandsaiduntome:"Thesethreehavebeenmadethatthe
spirits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water.Andsuchhas
beenmadeforsinnerswhentheydieandareburiedintheearthandjudgement
hasnotbeenexecutedonthemintheirlifetime.
25Heretheirspiritsshallbesetapartinthisgreatpaintillthegreatdayof
judgementandpunishmentandtormentofthosewhocurseforeverand
retributionfortheirspirits.ThereHe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,whentheywereslaininthedaysofthe
sinners.
26Suchhasbeenmadeforthespiritsofmenwhowerenotrighteousbut
sinners,whowerecompleteintransgression,andofthetransgressorstheyshall
becompanionsbuttheirspiritsshallnotbeslaininthedayofjudgementnor
shalltheyberaisedfromthence."
27TheIblessedtheLordofgloryandsaid:"BlessedbemyLord,theLordof
righteousness,whorulethforever."
28FromthenceIwenttoanotherplacetothewestoftheendsoftheearth.And
Isawaburningfirewhichranwithoutresting,andpausednotfromitscourse
dayornightbutregularly.
29AndIaskedsaying:"Whatisthiswhichrestsnot?"
30ThenRaguel,oneoftheholyangelswhowaswithme,answeredmeandsaid
untome:"Thiscourseoffirewhichthouhastseenisthefireinthewestwhich
persecutesalltheluminariesofheaven."
31AndfromthenceIwenttoanotherplaceoftheearth,andheshowedmea
mountainrangeoffirewhichburntdayandnight.
32AndIwentbeyonditandsawsevenmagnificentmountainsalldifferingeach
fromtheother,andthestonesweremagnificentandbeautiful,magnificentasa
whole,ofgloriousappearanceandfairexterior: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joinedwithanyother.
33Andtheseventhmountainwasinthemidstofthese,anditexcelledthemin
height,resemblingtheseatofathrone:andfragranttreesencircledthethrone.
34AndamongstthemwasatreesuchasIhadneveryetsmelt,neitherwasany
amongst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resemblesthedatesofapalm.
35ThenIsaid:"Howbeautifulisthistree,andfragrant,anditsleavesarefair,
anditsbloomsverydelightfulinappearance."
36ThenansweredMichael,oneoftheholyandhonoredangelswhowaswith
me,andwastheirleader.
37Andhesaiduntome:"Enoch,whydostthouaskmeregardingthefragrance
ofthetree,andwhydostthouwishtolearnthetruth?"
38ThenIansweredhimsaying:"Iwishtoknowabouteverything,but
especiallyaboutthistree."
39Andheansweredsaying:"Thishighmountainwhichthouhastseen,whose
summitislikethethroneofGod,isHisthrone,wheretheHolyGreatOne,the
LordofGlory,theEternalKing,willsit,whenHe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judgement,whenHeshalltakevengeanceonallandbringtoits
consummationforever.Itshallthenbegiventotherighteousandholy.Itsfruit
shallbeforfoodtotheelect:itshallbetransplantedtotheholyplace,tothe
templeoftheLord,theEternalKing.
40Thenshalltheyrejoicewithjoy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.Suchasthyfatherslived;andintheirdaysshallnosorroworplagueor
tormentorcalamitytouchthem."
41ThenblessedItheGodofGlory,theEternalKing,whohathpreparedsuch
thingsfortherighteous,andhathcreatedthemandpromisedtogivetothem.
42AndIwentfromthencetothemiddleoftheearth,andIsawablessedplace
inwhichthereweretreeswithbranchesabidingandblooming.
43AndthereIsawaholymountain,andunderneaththemountaintotheeast
therewasastreamanditflowedtowardsthesouth.AndIsawtowardstheeast
anothermountainhigherthanthis,andbetweenthemadeepandnarrowravine:
initalsoranastreamunderneaththemountain.
44Andtothewestthereofthere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theextremitiesofthethreemountains.
45Andalltheravinesweredeepandnarrow,ofhardrock,andtreeswerenot
planteduponthem.AndImarveledattherocks,andImarveledattheravine,
yea,Imarveledverymuch.
46ThensaidI:"Forwhatobjectisthisblessedland,whichisentirelyfilledwith
trees,andthisaccursedvalleybetween?"
47ThenUriel,oneoftheholyangelswhowaswithme,answeredandsaid:
"Thisaccursedvalleyisforthosewhoareaccursedforever.Hereshallallthe
accursedbegatheredtogetherwhoutterwiththeirlipsagainsttheLord
unseemlywordsandofHisgloryspeakhardthings.Hereshalltheybegathered
together,andhereshallbetheirplaceofjudgement.
48Inthelastdaysthereshallbeuponthemthespectacleofrighteousjudgement
inthepresenceoftherighteousforever:hereshallthemercifulblesstheLordof
glory,theEternalKing.Inthedaysofjudgementovertheformer,theyshall
blessHimforthemercyinaccordancewithwhichHehasassignedthem."
49ThenIblessedtheLordofGloryandsetforthHisgloryandlaudedHim
gloriously.
50AndthenceIwenttowardstheeast,intothemidstofthemountainrangeof
thedesert,andIsawawildernessanditwassolitary,fulloftreesandplants.
Andwatergushedforthfromabove.Rushinglikeacopiouswatercoursetowards
thenorth−westitcausedcloudsanddewtoascendoneveryside.
51AndthenceIwenttoanotherplaceinthedesert,andapproachedtotheeast
ofthismountainrange.AndthereIsawaromatictreesexhalingthefragranceof
frankincenseandmyrrh,andthetreesalsoweresimilartothealmondtree.
52Andbeyondthese,Iwentafartotheeast,andIsawanotherplace,avalleyof
water.Andthereintherewasatree,thecoloroffragranttreessuchasthemastic.
AndonthesidesofthosevalleysIsawfragrantcinnamon.AndbeyondtheseI
proceededtotheeast.
53AndIsawothermountains,andamongstthemweregrovesoftrees,andthere
flowedforthfromthemnectar,whichisnamedsararaandgalbanum.And
beyondthesemountainsI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thananyfragrantodour.
54Andafterthesefragrantodours,asIlookedtowardsthenorthoverthe
mountainsIsawsevenmountainsfullofchoicenardandfragranttreesand
cinnamonandpepper.
55AndthenceIwentoverthesummitsofallthesemountains,fartowardsthe
eastoftheearth,andpassedabovetheErythraeanseaandwentfarfromit,and
passedovertheangelZotiel.
56AndIcametotheGardenofRighteousness,andfromafaroffIsaw
numeroustrees,andthesegreat−twotreesthere,verygreat,beautiful,and
glorious,andmagnificent,andtheTreeofKnowledge,whoseholyfruittheyeat
andknowgreatwisdom.
57Thattreeisinheightlikethestranglerfig,anditsleavesareliketheCarob
tree,anditsfruitisliketheclustersofthevine,verybeautiful:andthefragrance
ofthetreepenetratesafar.
58ThenIsaid:"Howbeautifulisthetree,andhowattractiveisitslook!"
59ThenRaphaeltheholyangel,whowaswithme,answeredmeandsaid:"This
isthetreeofwisdom,ofwhichthyfatheroldandthyagedmother,whowere
beforethee,haveeaten,andtheylearntwisdomandtheireyeswereopened,and
theyknewthattheywerenakedandtheyweredrivenoutofthegarden."
60AndfromthenceIwenttotheendsoftheearthandsawtheregreatbeasts,
andeachdifferedfromtheother;andbirdsalsodifferinginappearanceand
beautyandvoice,theonedifferingfromtheother.
61AndtotheeastofthosebeastsIsawtheendsoftheearthwhereontheheaven
rests,andtheportalsoftheheavenopen.AndIsawhowthestarsofheaven
comeforth,andIcountedtheportalsoutofwhichtheyproceed,andwrotedown
alltheiroutlets,ofeachindividualstarbyitself,accordingtotheirnumberand
theirnames,theircoursesandtheirpositions,andtheirtimesandtheirmonths,
asUrieltheholyangelwhowaswithmeshowedme.
62Heshowedallthingstomeandwrotethemdownforme;alsotheirnameshe
wroteforme,andtheirlawsandtheircompanies.
63AndfromthenceIwenttowardsthenorthtotheendsoftheearth,andthereI
sawagreatandgloriousdeviceattheendsofthewholeearth.
64AndhereIsawthreeportalsofheavenopenintheheaven:througheachof
themproceednorthwinds:whentheyblowthereiscold,hail,frost,snow,dew,
andrain.Andoutofoneportaltheyblowforgood:butwhentheyblowthrough
theothertwoportals,itiswithviolenceandafflictionontheearth,andthey
blowwithviolence.
65AndfromthenceIwenttowardsthewesttotheendsoftheearth,andsaw
therethreeportalsoftheheavenopensuchasIhadseenintheeast,thesame
numberofportals,andthesamenumberofoutlets.
66AndfromthenceIwenttothesouthtotheendsoftheearth,andsawthere
threeopenportalsoftheheaven:andthencetherecomedew,rain,andwind.
AndfromthenceIwenttotheeasttotheendsoftheheaven,andsawherethe
threeeasternportalsofheavenopenandsmallportalsabovethem.
67Througheachofthesesmallportalspassthestarsofheavenandruntheir
coursetothewestonthepathwhichisshowntothem.
68AndasoftenasIsawIblessedalwaystheLordofGlory,andIcontinuedto
blesstheLordofGlorywhohaswroughtgreatandgloriouswonders,toshow
thegreatnessofHisworktotheangelsandtospiritsandtomen,thattheymight
praiseHisworkandallHiscreation:thattheymightseetheworkofHismight
andpraisethegreatworkofHishandsandblessHimforever.
Book2:TheParables
Chapter1
TheFirstParable
1Thesecondvisionwhichhesaw,thevisionofwisdom,whichEnochtheson
ofJared,thesonofMahalaleel,thesonofCainan,thesonofEnos,thesonof
Seth,thesonofAdam,saw.
2AndthisisthebeginningofthewordsofwisdomwhichIliftedupmyvoiceto
speakandsaytothosewhichdwellonearth:"Hear,yemenofoldtime,andsee,
yethatcomeafter,thewordsoftheHolyOnewhichIwillspeakbeforetheLord
ofSpirits.Itwerebettertodeclaretothemenofoldtimes,butevenfromthose
thatcomeafterwewillnotwithholdthebeginningofwisdom."
3TillthepresentdaysuchwisdomhasneverbeengivenbytheLordofSpirits
asIhavereceivedaccordingtomyinsight,accordingtothegoodpleasureofthe
LordofSpiritsbywhomthelotofeternallifehasbeengiventome.Nowthree
Parableswereimpartedtome,andIliftedupmyvoiceandrecountedthemto
thosethatdwellontheearth.
4ThefirstParable.
Whenthecongregationoftherighteousshallappear,andsinnersshallbejudged
fortheirsins,andshallbedrivenfromthefaceoftheearth:
5AndwhentheRighteousOneshallappearbeforetheeyesoftherighteous,
whoseelectworkshangupontheLordofSpirits,andlightshallappeartothe
righteousandtheelectwhodwellontheearth,wherethenwillbethedwelling
ofthesinners,andwheretheresting−placeofthosewhohavedeniedtheLordof
Spirits?Ithadbeengoodforthemiftheyhadnotbeenborn.
6Whenthesecretsoftherighteousshallberevealedandthesinnersjudged,and
thegodlessdrivenfromthepresenceoftherighteousandelect.
7Fromthattimethosethatpossesstheearthshallnolongerbepowerfuland
exalted:Andtheyshallnotbeabletobeholdthefaceoftheholy,fortheLordof
SpiritshascausedHislighttoappearonthefaceoftheholy,righteous,and

8Thenshallthekingsandthemightyperishandbegivenintothehandsofthe
righteousandholy.
9AndthenceforwardnoneshallseekforthemselvesmercyfromtheLordof
Spiritsfortheirlifeisatanend.
10Anditshallcometopassinthosedaysthatelectandholychildrenwill
descendfromthehighheaven,andtheirseedwillbecomeonewiththechildren
ofmen.
11AndinthosedaysEnochreceivedbooksofzealandwrath,andbooksof
disquietandexpulsion.
12Andmercyshallnotbeaccordedtothem,saiththeLordofSpirits.
13Andinthosedaysawhirlwindcarriedmeofffromtheearth,andsetme
downattheendoftheheavens.
14AndthereIsawanothervision,thedwelling−placesoftheholy,andthe
resting−placesoftherighteous.
15HeremineeyessawtheirdwellingswithHisrighteousangelsandtheir
restingplaceswiththeholy.
16Andtheypetitionedandintercededandprayedforthechildrenofmen,and
righteousnessflowedbeforethemaswater,andmercylikedewupontheearth:
Thusitisamongstthemforeverandever.
17AndinthatplacemineeyessawtheElectOneofrighteousnessandoffaith,
andIsawhisdwelling−placeunderthewingsoftheLordofSpirits.
18Andrighteousnessshallprevailinhisdays,andtherighteousandelectshall
bewithoutnumberbeforeHimforeverandever.
19AndalltherighteousandelectbeforeHimshallbestrongasfierylights,and
theirmouthshallbefullofblessing,andtheirlipsextolthenameoftheLordof
Spirits,andrighteousnessbeforeHimshallneverfail.
20ThereIwishedtodwell,andmyspiritlongedforthatdwellingplace,and
thereheretoforehathbeenmyportion.Forsohasitbeenestablishedconcerning
mebeforetheLordofSpirits.
21InthosedaysIpraisedandextolledthenameoftheLordofSpiritswith
blessingsandpraises,becauseHehathdestinedmeforblessingandglory
accordingtothegoodpleasureoftheLordofSpirits.
22Foralongtimemyeyesregardedthatplace,andIblessedHimandpraised
Him,saying:"BlessedisHe,andmayHebeblessedfromthebeginningandfor
evermore.AndbeforeHimthereisnoceasing.Heknowsbeforetheworldwas
createdwhatisforeverandwhatwillbefromgenerationuntogeneration."
23ThosewhosleepnotblessThee:theystandbeforeThygloryandbless,
praise,andextol,saying:"Holy,holy,holy,istheLordofSpirits:Hefilleththe
earthwithspirits."
24Andheremyeyessawallthosewhosleepnot:theystandbeforeHimand
blessandsay:"BlessedbeThou,andblessedbethenameoftheLordforever
andever."Andmyfacewaschanged;forIcouldnolongerbehold.
25AndafterthatIsawthousandsofthousandsandtenthousandtimesten
thousand,Isawamultitudebeyondnumberandreckoning,whostoodbeforethe
LordofSpirits.
26AndonthefoursidesoftheLordofSpiritsIsawfourpresences,different
fromthosethatsleepnot,andIlearnttheirnames:fortheangelthatwentwith
memadeknowntometheirnames,andshowedmeallthehiddenthings.
27AndIheardthevoicesofthosefourpresencesastheyutteredpraisesbefore
theLordofglory.
28ThefirstvoiceblessestheLordofSpiritsforeverandever.
29AndthesecondvoiceIheardblessingtheElectOneandtheelectoneswho
hangupontheLordofSpirits.
30AndthethirdvoiceIheardprayandintercedeforthosewhodwellonthe
earthandsupplicateinthenameoftheLordofSpirits.
31AndIheardthefourthvoicefendingofftheSatansandforbiddingthemto
comebeforetheLordofSpiritstoaccusethemwhodwellontheearth.
32AfterthatIaskedtheangelofpeacewhowentwithme,whoshowedme
everythingthatishidden:"WhoarethesefourpresenceswhichIhaveseenand
whosewordsIhaveheardandwrittendown?"
33Andhesaidtome:"ThisfirstisMichael,themercifulandlong−suffering:
andthesecond,whoissetoverallthediseasesandallthewoundsofthe
childrenofmen,isRaphael:andthethird,whoissetoverallthepowers,is
Gabriel:andthefourth,whoissetovertherepentanceuntohopeofthosewho
inheriteternallife,isnamedPhanuel."
34AndthesearethefourangelsoftheLordofSpiritsandthefourvoicesI
heardinthosedays.
35AndafterthatIsawallthesecretsoftheheavens,andhowthekingdomis
divided,andhowtheactionsofmenareweighedinthebalance.
36AndthereIsawthemansionsoftheelectandthemansionsoftheholy,and
mineeyessawthereallthesinnersbeingdrivenfromthencewhichdenythe
nameoftheLordofSpirits,andbeingdraggedoff:andtheycouldnotabide
becauseofthepunishmentwhichproceedsfromtheLordofSpirits.
37Andtheremineeyessawthesecretsofthelightningandofthethunder,and
thesecretsofthewinds,howtheyaredividedtoblowovertheearth,andthe
secretsofthecloudsanddew,andtheseIsawfromwhencetheyproceedinthat
placeandfromwhencetheysaturatethedustyearth.
38AndthereIsawclosedchambersoutofwhichthewindsaredivided,the
chamberofthehailandwinds,thechamberofthemist,andoftheclouds,and
thecloudthereofhoversovertheearthfromthebeginningoftheworld.
39AndIsawthechambersofthesunandmoon,whencetheyproceedand
whithertheycomeagain,andtheirgloriousreturn,andhowoneissuperiorto
theother,andtheirstatelyorbit,andhowtheydonotleavetheirorbit,andthey
addnothingtotheirorbitandtheytakenothingfromit,andtheykeepfaithwith
eachother,inaccordancewiththeoathbywhichtheyareboundtogether.
40Andfirstthesungoesforthandtraverseshispathaccordingtothe
commandmentoftheLordofSpirits,andmightyisHisnameforeverandever.
41AndafterthatIsawthehiddenandthevisiblepathofthemoon,andshe
accomplishesthecourseofherpathinthatplacebydayandbynight−theone
holdingapositionoppositetotheotherbeforetheLordofSpirits.
42Andtheygivethanksandpraiseandrestnot.Foruntothemistheir
thanksgivingrest.
43Forthesunchangesoftforablessingoracurse,andthecourseofthepathof
themoonislighttotherighteousanddarknesstothesinnersinthenameofthe
Lord.Whomadeaseparationbetweenthelightandthedarkness,anddivided
thespiritsofmen,andstrengthenedthespiritsoftherighteousinthenameof
Hisrighteousness.
44Fornoangelhindersandnopowerisabletohinder;forHeappointsajudge
forthemallandHejudgesthemallbeforeHim.
45Wisdomfoundnoplacewhereshemightdwell,thenadwelling−placewas
assignedherintheheavens.
46Wisdomwentforthtomakeherdwellingamongthechildrenofmenand
foundnodwelling−place.
47Wisdomreturnedtoherplaceandtookherseatamongtheangels.
48Andunrighteousnesswentforthfromherchambers:Whomshesoughtnot
shefoundanddweltwiththem,asraininadesertanddewonathirstyland.
49AndIsawotherlightningsandthestarsofheaven,andIsawhowHecalled
themallbytheirnamesandtheyhearkeneduntoHim.
50AndIsawhowtheyareweighedinarighteousbalanceaccordingtotheir
proportionsoflight:thewidthoftheirspacesandthedayoftheirappearing,and
howtheirrevolutionproduceslightning:andtheirrevolutionaccordingtothe
numberoftheangels,andtheykeepfaithwitheachother.
51AndIaskedtheangelwhowentwithmewhoshowedmewhatwashidden:
"Whatarethese?"
52Andhesaidtome:"TheLordofSpiritshathshowedtheetheirparabolic
meaning:thesearethenamesoftheholywhodwellontheearthandbelievein
thenameoftheLordofSpiritsforeverandever."
53AlsoanotherphenomenonIsawinregardtothelightnings:howsomeofthe
starsariseandbecomelightningsandcannotpartwiththeirnewform.
Chapter2
TheSecondParable
1AndthisisthesecondParableconcerningthosewhodenythenameofthe
dwellingoftheholyonesandtheLordofSpirits.
2Andintotheheaventheyshallnotascend,andontheearththeyshallnot
come.SuchshallbethelotofthesinnerswhohavedeniedthenameoftheLord
ofSpirits.Whoarethuspreservedforthedayofsufferingandtribulation.
3OnthatdayMineElectOneshallsitonthethroneofgloryandshalltrytheir
works,andtheirplacesofrestshallbeinnumerable.Andtheirsoulsshallgrow
strongwithinthemwhentheyseeMineElectOnes.
4AndthosewhohavecalleduponMygloriousname:ThenwillIcauseMine
ElectOnetodwellamongthem.
5AndIwilltransformtheheavenandmakeitaneternalblessingandlightandI
willtransformtheearthandmakeitablessing:andIwillcauseMineElectOnes
todwelluponit:Butthesinnersandevil−doersshallnotsetfootthereon.
6ForIhaveprovidedandsatisfiedwithpeaceMyrighteousonesandhave
causedthemtodwellbeforeMe:Butforthesinnersthereisjudgement
impendingwithMe,sothatIshalldestroythemfromthefaceoftheearth.
7AndthereIsawOnewhohadaheadofdays,andHisheadwaswhitelike
wool,andwithHimwasanotherbeingwhosecountenancehadtheappearance
ofaman,andhisfacewasfullofgraciousness,likeoneoftheholyangels.
8AndIaskedtheangelwhowentwithmeandshowedmeallthehiddenthings,
concerningthatSonofMan,whohewas,andwhencehewas,andwhyhewent
withtheHeadofDays.
9Andheansweredandsaiduntome:"ThisistheSonofManwhohath
righteousness.Withwhomdwellethrighteousness,andwhorevealsallthe
treasuresofthatwhichishidden.BecausetheLordofSpiritshathchosenhim,
andwhoselothathpreeminencebeforetheLordofSpiritsinuprightnessfor
ever.
10AndthisSonofManwhomthouhastseenshallraiseupthekingsandthe
mightyfromtheirseatsandshallloosenthereinsofthestrong,andbreakthe
teethofthesinners.BecausetheydonotextolandpraiseHim,Norhumbly
acknowledgewhencethekingdomwasbestoweduponthem.
11Andheshallputdownthecountenanceofthestrong,andshallfillthemwith
shame.Darknessshallbetheirdwellingandwormsshallbetheirbed.Theyshall
havenohopeofrisingfromtheirbedsbecausetheydonotextolthenameofthe
LordofSpirits.
12Thesearetheywhojudgethestarsofheaven,treadupontheearth,anddwell
uponit.
13Alltheirdeedsmanifestunrighteousnessandtheirpowerrestsupontheir
riches.
14Theirfaithisinthegodswhichtheyhavemadewiththeirhandsandthey
denythenameoftheLordofSpirits.
15TheypersecutethehousesofHiscongregationsandthefaithfulwhohang
uponthenameoftheLordofSpirits.
16Andinthosedaysshallhaveascendedtheprayeroftherighteousandthe
bloodoftherighteousfromtheearthbeforetheLordofSpirits.
17Inthosedaystheholyoneswhodwellaboveintheheavensshallunitewith
onevoiceandsupplicateandprayandpraise,givethanksandblessthenameof
theLordofSpiritsonbehalfofthebloodoftherighteouswhichhasbeenshed.
18AndthattheprayeroftherighteousmaynotbeinvainbeforetheLordof
Spirits,thatjudgementmaybedoneuntothemandthattheymaynothaveto
sufferforever."
19InthosedaysIsawtheHeadofDayswhenHeseatedhimselfuponthethrone
ofHisglory,andthebooksofthelivingwereopenedbeforeHim,andallHis
hostwhichisinheavenaboveandHiscounselorsstoodbeforeHim.
20Andtheheartsoftheholywerefilledwithjoybecausethenumberofthe
righteoushadbeenoffered,andtheprayeroftherighteoushadbeenheard,and
thebloodoftherighteousbeenrequiredbeforetheLordofSpirits.
21AndinthatplaceIsawthefountainofrighteousness,whichwas
inexhaustible;andarounditweremanyfountainsofwisdom.Allthethirsty
drankofthemandwerefilledwithwisdomandtheirdwellingswerewiththe
righteousandholyandelect.
22AndatthathourthatSonofManwasnamedinthepresenceoftheLordof
Spirits,andHisnamebeforetheHeadofDays.
23Yea,beforethesunandthesignswerecreated,beforethestarsoftheheaven
weremade,HisnamewasnamedbeforetheLordofSpirits.
24"Heshallbeastafftotherighteouswhereontostaythemselvesandnotfall
andheshallbethelightoftheGentiles,andthehopeofthosewhoaretroubled

25AllwhodwellonearthshallfalldownandworshipbeforeHim,andwill
praiseandblessandcelebratewithsongtheLordofSpirits.
26AndforthisreasonhathHebeenchosenandhiddenbeforeHim,beforethe
creationoftheworldandforevermore.
27AndthewisdomoftheLordofSpiritshathrevealedHimtotheholyand

30Andonthedayoftheirafflictionthereshallberestontheearth,andbefore

33AndinHimdwellsthespiritofwisdom,andthespiritwhichgivesinsight,

40Inthosedaysshalltheearthalsogivebackthatwhichhasbeenentrustedto

44Inthosedaysshallthemountainsleaplikeramsandthehillsalsoshallskip

46AndafterthosedaysinthatplacewhereIhadseenallthevisionsofthat
whichishidden,forIhadbeencarriedoffinawhirlwindandtheyhadborneme
towardsthewest.
47Theremineeyessawallthesecretthingsofheaventhatshallbe,amountain
ofiron,andamountainofcopper,andamountainofsilver,andamountainof
gold,andamountainofsoftmetal,andamountainoflead.
48AndIaskedtheangelwhowentwithme,saying,"Whatthingsarethese
whichIhaveseeninsecret?"
49Andhesaiduntome:"Allthesethingswhichthouhastseenshallservethe
dominionofHisAnointedthatHemaybepotentandmightyontheearth."
50Andthatangelofpeaceanswered,sayinguntome:"Waitalittle,andthere
shallberevealeduntotheeallthesecretthingswhichsurroundtheLordof

51Andthesemountainswhichthineeyeshaveseen,themountainofiron,and

53Anditshallcometopassinthosedaysthatnoneshallbesavedeitherbygold

56AndIlookedandturnedtoanotherpartoftheearth,andsawthereadeep
valleywithburningfire.Andtheybroughtthekingsandthemighty,andbegan
tocastthemintothisdeepvalley.
57Andtheremineeyessawhowtheymadethesetheirinstruments,ironchains

58AndIaskedtheangelofpeacewhowentwithme,saying:"Forwhomare
thesechainsbeingprepared?"
59Andhesaiduntome:"ThesearebeingpreparedforthehostsofAzazel,so
thattheymaytakethemandcastthemintotheabyssofcompletecondemnation,
andtheyshallcovertheirjawswithroughstonesastheLordofSpirits

60AndMichael,andGabriel,andRaphael,andPhanuelshalltakeholdofthem
onthatgreatday,andcastthemonthatdayintotheburningfurnace,thatthe
LordofSpiritsmaytakevengeanceonthemfortheirunrighteousnessin
becomingsubjecttoSatanandleadingastraythosewhodwellontheearth.
61AndinthosedaysshallpunishmentcomefromtheLordofSpirits,andHe

63Andtheyshalldestroyallwhodwellontheearthandthosewhodwellunder

whichtheyhavewroughtontheearth,thenbytheseshalltheyperish.
64Andafterthat,theHeadofDaysrepentedandsaid:"InvainhaveIdestroyed

69AndIaskedtheangelofpeacewhowentwithme,saying:"Towhomare

78AnditcametopassafterthisthatIsawanotherhostofwagons,andmen

7Andafterthisitshallbesaidtotheholyinheaventhattheyshouldseekout

11Inthosedaysmineeyessawthesecretsofthelightnings,andofthelights,

12AndthereIsawthesecretsofthethunder,andhowwhenitresoundsabovein

13AndHecausedmetoseethejudgementsexecutedontheearth,whetherthey

15Intheyear500,intheseventhmonth,onthefourteenthdayofthemonthin

16InthatparableIsawhowamightyquakingmadetheheavenofheavensto

17AndtheHeadofDayssatonthethroneofHisglory,andtheangelsandthe

21Andwhentheday,andthepower,andthepunishment,andthejudgement

22WhenthepunishmentoftheLordofSpiritsshallrestuponthem,itshallrest

23AfterwardsthejudgementshalltakeplaceaccordingtoHismercyandHis

24Andonthatdayweretwomonstersparted,afemalemonsternamed
Leviathan,todwellintheabyssesoftheoceanoverthefountainsofthewaters.
25ButthemaleisnamedBehemoth,whooccupiedwithhisbreastawaste

thefirstmanwhomtheLordofSpiritscreated.
26AndIbesoughttheotherangelthatheshouldshowmethemightofthose
monsters,howtheywerepartedononedayandcast,theoneintotheabyssesof
theseaandtheotheruntothedrylandofthewilderness.
27Andhesaidtome:"Thousonofman,hereinthoudostseektoknowwhatis

28Andtheotherangelwhowentwithmeandshowedmewhatwashiddentold

34Andthespiritofthehoarfrostishisownangel,andthespiritofthehailisa

40AndthesethingsIsawtowardstheGardenoftheRighteous.
41Andtheangelofpeacewhowaswithmesaidtome:"Thesetwomonsters,

42AndIsawinthosedayshowlongcordsweregiventothoseangels,andthey
tooktothemselveswingsandflew,andtheywenttowardsthenorth.
43AndIaskedtheangel,sayinguntohim:"Whyhavethoseangelstakenthese
cordsandgoneoff?"
44Andhesaiduntome:"Theyhavegonetomeasure."
45Andtheangelwhowentwithmesaiduntome:"Theseshallbringthe

46Theelectshallbegintodwellwiththeelect,andthosearethemeasures

47Andthesemeasuresshallrevealallthesecretsofthedepthsoftheearth.And

48Andallwhodwellaboveintheheavenreceivedacommandandpowerand
onevoiceandonelightlikeuntofire.
49AndthatOnewiththeirfirstwordstheyblessedandextolledandlaudedwith

50Andtheywerewiseinutteranceandinthespiritoflife.
51AndtheLordofSpiritsplacedtheElectoneonthethroneofglory.Andhe
shalljudgealltheworksoftheholyaboveintheheaven,andinthebalanceshall

52AndthustheLordcommandedthekingsandthemightyandtheexalted,and
thosewhodwellontheearth,andsaid:"Openyoureyesandliftupyourhornsif
yeareabletorecognizetheElectOne."
53AndtheLordofSpiritsseatedhimonthethroneofHisgloryandthespiritof
righteousnesswaspouredoutuponHim.
54Andthewordofhismouthslaysallthesinners,andalltheunrighteousare

56Andrighteousnessisjudgedbeforehimandnolyingwordisspokenbefore

57Thenshallpaincomeuponthemasonawomanintravailwhenherchild

58Andoneportionofthemshalllookontheotherandtheyshallbeterrified,

59Andthekingsandthemightyandallwhopossesstheearthshallblessand
glorifyandextolhimwhorulesoverall,whowashidden.
60ForfromthebeginningtheSonofManwashiddenandtheMostHigh
preservedHiminthepresenceofHismight,andrevealedHimtotheelect.
61Andthecongregationoftheelectandholyshallbesownandalltheelect

62Andallthekingsandthemightyandtheexaltedandthosewhoruletheearth
shallfalldownbeforeHimontheirfacesandworshipandsettheirhopeupon
thatSonofMan,andpetitionhimandsupplicateformercyathishands.
63NeverthelessthatLordofSpiritswillsopressthemthattheyshallhastilygo
forthfromHispresence,andtheirfacesshallbefilledwithshame,andthe
darknessgrowdeeperontheirfaces.
64AndHewilldeliverthemtotheangelsforpunishmenttoexecutevengeance
onthembecausetheyhaveoppressedHischildrenandHiselect.
65AndtheyshallbeaspectaclefortherighteousandforHiselect:Theyshall

66Andtherighteousandelectshallbesavedonthatday,andtheyshallnever

67AndtheLordofSpiritswillabideoverthem,andwiththatSonofManshall

68Andtherighteousandelectshallhaverisenfromtheearthandceasedtobe

70Inthosedaysshallthemightyandthekingswhopossesstheearthimploreto
grantthemalittlerespitefromHisangelsofpunishmenttowhomtheywere
delivered,thattheymightfalldownandworshipbeforetheLordofSpiritsand
confesstheirsinsbeforeHim.
71AndtheyshallblessandglorifytheLordofSpirits,andsay:"Blessedisthe

73Andtheyshallsay:"Wouldthatwehadresttoglorifyandgivethanksand

75AndinthedayofoursufferingandtribulationHesavesusnotandwefindno

76AndwepassawayfrombeforeHisfaceonaccountofourworksandallour

77Nowtheyshallsayuntothemselves:"Oursoulsarefullofunrighteousgain,
butitdoesnotpreventusfromdescendingfromthemidstthereofintothe

78Andafterthattheirfacesshallbefilledwithdarknessandshamebeforethat

79ThusspaketheLordofSpirits:"Thisistheordinanceandjudgementwith

80AndotherformsIsawhiddeninthatplace.Iheardthevoiceoftheangel

Andwhenheopenedhiseyes,helightedupthewholehouselikethesun,and
thewholehousewasverybright.
3Andthereuponhearoseinthehandsofthemidwife,openedhismouth,and
conversedwiththeLordofrighteousness.
4AndhisfatherLamechwasafraidofhimandfled,andcametohisfather
Methuselah.
5Andhesaiduntohim:"Ihavebegottenastrangeson,diversefromandunlike
man,andresemblingthesonsoftheGodofheaven;andhisnatureisdifferent
andheisnotlikeus,andhiseyesareastheraysofthesun,andhiscountenance
isglorious.
6Anditseemstomethatheisnotsprungfrommebutfromtheangels,andI
fearthatinhisdaysawondermaybewroughtontheearth.Andnow,myfather,
IamheretopetitiontheeandimploretheethatthoumayestgotoEnoch,our
father,andlearnfromhimthetruth,forhisdwelling−placeisamongstthe
angels."
7AndwhenMethuselahheardthewordsofhisson,hecametometotheends
oftheearth;forhehadheardthatIwasthere,andhecriedaloud,andIheardhis
voiceandIcametohim.
8AndIsaiduntohim:"Behold,hereamI,myson,whereforehastthoucometo
me?"
9Andheansweredandsaid:"BecauseofagreatcauseofanxietyhaveIcometo
thee,andbecauseofadisturbingvisionhaveIapproached.
10Andnow,myfather,hearme:untoLamechmysontherehathbeenborna

11Andhearoseinthehandsofthemidwife,andopenedhismouthandblessed
theLordofheaven.
12AndhisfatherLamechbecameafraidandfledtome,anddidnotbelievethat
hewassprungfromhim,butthathewasinthelikenessoftheangelsofheaven;
andbeholdIhavecometotheethatthoumayestmakeknowntomethetruth."
13AndI,Enoch,answeredandsaiduntohim:"TheLordwilldoanewthingon
theearth,andthisIhavealreadyseeninavision,andmakeknowntotheethat

15Andtheyshallproduceontheearthgiantsnotaccordingtothespirit,but
accordingtotheflesh,andthereshallbeagreatpunishmentontheearth,andthe
earthshallbecleansedfromallimpurity.
16Yea,thereshallcomeagreatdestructionoverthewholeearth,andthereshall

17Andthissonwhohasbeenbornuntoyoushallbeleftontheearth,andhis

18AndnowmakeknowntothysonLamechthathewhohasbeenbornisin

accountofallthesinandalltheunrighteousness,whichshallbeconsummated
ontheearthinhisdays.
19Andafterthatthereshallbestillmoreunrighteousnessthanthatwhichwas
firstconsummatedontheearth;forIknowthemysteriesoftheholyones;for

Chapter2
CallingEnoch
1AndinthosedaysNoahsawtheearththatithadsunkdownanditsdestruction
wasnigh.
2Andhearosefromthenceandwenttotheendsoftheearth,andcriedaloudto
hisgrandfatherEnoch.
3Noahsaidthreetimeswithanembitteredvoice:"Hearme,hearme,hearme."
4AndIsaiduntohim:"Tellmewhatitisthatisfallingoutontheearththatthe
earthisinsuchevilplightandshaken,lestperchanceIshallperishwithit?"
5Andthereupontherewasagreatcommotion,ontheearth,andavoicewas
heardfromheaven,andIfellonmyface.
6AndEnochmygrandfathercameandstoodbyme,andsaiduntome:"Why
hastthoucrieduntomewithabittercryandweeping?
7AcommandhasgoneforthfromthepresenceoftheLordconcerningthose
whodwellontheearththattheirruinisaccomplishedbecausetheyhavelearnt
allthesecretsoftheangels,andalltheviolenceoftheSatans,andalltheir
powers,themostsecretones.
8Andallthepowerofthosewhopracticesorcery,andthepowerofwitchcraft,
andthepowerofthosewhomakemoltenimages.Forthewholeearth:Andhow

earth.Forleadandtinarenotproducedfromtheearthlikethefirst:itisa
fountainthatproducesthem,andanangelstandstherein,andthatangelis
preeminent."
9AndafterthatmygrandfatherEnochtookholdofmebymyhandandraised
meup,andsaiduntome:"Go,forIhaveaskedtheLordofSpiritsastouching
thiscommotionontheearth.
10AndHesaiduntome:"Becauseoftheirunrighteousnesstheirjudgementhas
beendetermineduponandshallnotbewithheldbyMeforever.Becauseofthe
sorcerieswhichtheyhavesearchedoutandlearnt,theearthandthosewhodwell
uponitshallbedestroyed."
11Andthese,theyhavenoplaceofrepentanceforever,becausetheyhave
shownthemwhatwashidden,andtheyarethedamned:butasforthee,myson,
theLordofSpiritsknowsthatthouartpure,andguiltlessofthisreproach
concerningthesecrets.
12AndHehasdestinedthynametobeamongtheholyandwillpreservethee
amongstthosewhodwellontheearth.Andhasdestinedthyrighteousseedboth
forkingshipandforgreathonors,andfromthyseedshallproceedafountainof
therighteousandholywithoutnumberforever."
13Andafterthatheshowedmetheangelsofpunishmentwhoarepreparedto
comeandletlooseallthepowersofthewaterswhicharebeneathintheearthin
ordertobringjudgementanddestructiononallwhodwellontheearth.
14AndtheLordofSpiritsgavecommandmenttotheangelswhoweregoing
forththattheyshouldnotcausethewaterstorisebutshouldholdthemincheck;
forthoseangelswereoverthepowersofthewaters.
15AndIwentawayfromthepresenceofEnoch.
Chapter3
JudgementofAngels
1AndinthosedaysthewordofGodcameuntome,andHesaiduntome:
"Noah,thylothascomeupbeforeMe,alotwithoutblame,alotofloveand
uprightness.
2Andnowtheangelsareworking,andwhentheyhavecompletedtheirtaskI
willplaceMyhanduponitandpreserveit,andthereshallcomeforthfromitthe
seedoflife,andachangeshallsetinsothattheearthwillnotremainwithout
inhabitant.
3AndIwillmakefastthyseedbeforemeforeverandever,andIwillspread
abroadthosewhodwellwiththee:itshallnotbeunfruitfulonthefaceofthe
earth,butitshallbeblessedandmultiplyontheearthinthenameoftheLord."
4AndHewillimprisonthoseangels,whohaveshownunrighteousnessinthat
burningvalleywhichmygrandfatherEnochhadformerlyshowntomeinthe
westamongthemountainsofgoldandsilverandironandsoftmetalandtin.
5AndIsawthatvalleyinwhichtherewasagreatconvulsionandaconvulsion
ofthewaters.
6Andwhenallthistookplace,fromthatfierymoltenmetalandfromthe
convulsionthereofinthatplace,therewasproducedasmellofsulphur,andit
wasconnectedwiththosewaters,andthatvalleyoftheangelswhohadled
astrayburnedbeneaththatland.
7Andthroughitsvalleysproceedstreamsoffirewheretheseangelsare
punishedwhohadledastraythosewhodwellupontheearth.
8Butthosewatersshallinthosedaysserveforthekingsandthemightyandthe
exalted,andthosewhodwellontheearth,forthehealingofthebody,butforthe
punishmentofthespirit;nowtheirspiritisfulloflust,thattheymaybepunished
intheirbody.
9FortheyhavedeniedtheLordofSpiritsandseetheirpunishmentdaily,and
yetbelievenotinHisname.
10Andinproportionastheburningoftheirbodiesbecomesseverea
correspondingchangeshalltakeplaceintheirspiritforeverandever;forbefore
theLordofSpiritsnoneshallutteranidleword.
11Forthejudgementshallcomeuponthembecausetheybelieveinthelustof
theirbodyanddenytheSpiritoftheLord.
12Andthosesamewaterswillundergoachangeinthosedays;forwhenthose
angelsarepunishedinthesewaters,thesewater−springsshallchangetheir
temperature,andwhentheangelsascend,thiswaterofthespringsshallchange
andbecomecold.
13AndIheardMichaelansweringandsaying:"Thisjudgementwherewiththe
angelsarejudgedisatestimonyforthekingsandthemightywhopossessthe
earth.
14Becausethesewatersofjudgementministertothehealingofthebodyofthe
kingsandthelustoftheirbody;thereforetheywillnotseeandwillnotbelieve
thatthosewaterswillchangeandbecomeafirewhichburnsforever."
Chapter4
SecretsoftheParables
1AndafterthatmygrandfatherEnochgavemetheteachingofallthesecretsin
thebookintheParableswhichhadbeengiventohim,andheputthemtogether
formeinthewordsofthebookoftheParables.
2AndonthatdayMichaelansweredRaphaelandsaid:"Thepowerofthespirit
transportsandmakesmetotremblebecauseoftheseverityofthejudgementof
thesecrets,thejudgementoftheangels:whocanenduretheseverejudgement
whichhasbeenexecuted,andbeforewhichtheymeltaway?"
3AndMichaelansweredagain,andsaidtoRaphael:"Whoishewhoseheartis
notsoftenedconcerningit,andwhosereinsarenottroubledbythiswordof
judgementthathasgoneforthuponthembecauseofthosewhohavethusled
themout?"
4AnditcametopasswhenhestoodbeforetheLordofSpirits,Michaelsaid
thustoRaphael:"IwillnottaketheirpartundertheeyeoftheLord;fortheLord
ofSpiritshasbeenangrywiththembecausetheydoasiftheyweretheLord.
Thereforeallthatishiddenshallcomeuponthemforeverandever;forneither
angelnormanshallhavehisportion,butalonetheyhavereceivedtheir
judgementforeverandever."
5Andafterthisjudgementtheyshallterrifyandmakethemtotremblebecause
theyhaveshownthistothosewhodwellontheearth.
6Andbeholdthenamesofthoseangels:thefirstofthemisSamjaza,thesecond
Artaqifa,andthethirdArmen,thefourthKokabel,thefifthTurael,thesixth

7Andthesearethechiefsoftheirangelsandtheirnames,andtheirchiefones
overhundredsandoverfiftiesandovertens.
8ThenameofthefirstJeqon:thatis,theonewholedastraythesonsofGod,
andbroughtthemdowntotheearth,andledthemastraythroughthedaughters
ofmen.
9AndthesecondwasnamedAsbeel:heimpartedtotheholysonsofGodevil
counsel,andledthemastraysothattheydefiledtheirbodieswiththedaughters
ofmen.
10AndthethirdwasnamedGadreel:heitiswhoshowedthechildrenofmenall
theblowsofdeath,andheledastrayEve,andshowedtheshieldandthecoatof
mail,andtheswordforbattle,andalltheweaponsofdeathtothechildrenof
men.Andfromhishandtheyhaveproceededagainstthosewhodwellonthe
earthfromthatdayandforevermore.
11AndthefourthwasnamedPenemue:hetaughtthechildrenofmenthebitter
andthesweet,andhetaughtthemallthesecretsoftheirwisdom.Andhe
instructedmankindinwritingwithinkandpaper,andtherebymanysinnedfrom
eternitytoeternityanduntilthisday.Formenwerenotcreatedforsucha
purpose,togiveconfirmationtotheirgoodfaithwithpenandink.Formenwere
createdexactlyliketheangels,totheintentthattheyshouldcontinuepureand
righteous,anddeath,whichdestroyseverything,couldnothavetakenholdof
thembutthroughthistheirknowledgetheyareperishing,andthroughthispower
itisconsumingmen.
12AndthefifthwasnamedKasdeja:thisishewhoshowedthechildrenofmen
allthewickedsmithingsofspiritsanddemons,andthesmitingsoftheembryo
inthewomb,thatitmaypassaway,andthebitesoftheserpent,andthesmitings
whichbefallthroughthenoontideheatthesonoftheserpentnamedTabaet.
13AndthisisthetaskofKasbeel,thechiefoftheoathwhichheshowedtothe
holyoneswhenhedwelthighaboveinglory,anditsnameisBiqa.
14ThisangelrequestedMichaeltoshowhimthehiddenname,thathemight
enunciateitintheoath,sothatthosemightquakebeforethatnameandoathwho
revealedallthatwasinsecrettothechildrenofmen.
15Andthisisthepowerofthisoath,foritispowerfulandstrong,andheplaced
thisoathAkaeinthehandofMichael.
16Thesearethesecretsofthisoathandtheyarestrongthroughhisoath:The
heavenwassuspendedbeforetheworldwascreated,andforever.
17Andthroughittheearthwasfoundeduponthewaterandfromthesecret

anduntoeternity.
18AndthroughthatoaththeseawascreatedandasitsfoundationHesetforit

19Andthroughthatoatharethedepthsmadefastandabideandstirnotfrom

20Andthroughthatoaththesunandmooncompletetheircourseanddeviate

21AndthroughthatoaththestarscompletetheircourseandHecallsthemby

22Andthisoathismightyoverthemandthroughittheirpathsarepreserved

23Andtherewasgreatjoyamongstthem,andtheyblessedandglorifiedand

24AndhesatonthethroneofHisgloryandthesumofjudgementwasgiven

4AndIsawsixportalsinwhichthesunrises,andsixportalsinwhichthesun

34Soitcomesthatitscoursebecomesdailylonger,anditscoursenightly

35Andthisisthelawandthecourseofthesun,andhisreturnasoftenashe

36Andthatwhichrisesisthegreatluminary,andissonamedaccordingtoits

37Asherises,sohesetsanddecreasesnot,andrestsnot,butrunsdayand

38AndafterthislawIsawanotherlawdealingwiththesmallerluminary,which
isnamedtheMoon.
39Andhercircumferenceislikethecircumferenceoftheheaven,andher
chariotinwhichsheridesisdrivenbythewind,andlightisgiventoherin

40Andherrisingandsettingchangeeverymonthandherdaysarelikethedays
ofthesun,andwhenherlightisuniformitamountstotheseventhpartofthe
lightofthesun.
41Andthussherises.Andherfirstphaseintheeastcomesforthonthethirtieth
morning:andonthatdayshebecomesvisibleandconstitutesforyouthefirst
phaseofthemoononthethirtiethdaytogetherwiththesunintheportalwhere
thesunrises.
42Andtheonehalfofhergoesforthbyaseventhpart,andherwhole
circumferenceisempty,withoutlight,withtheexceptionofone−seventhpartof
it,thefourteenthpartofherlight.
43Andwhenshereceivesone−seventhpartofthehalfofherlight,herlight
amountstoone−seventhpartandthehalfthereof.
44Andshesetswiththesun,andwhenthesunrisesthemoonriseswithhim
andreceivesthehalfofonepartoflight,andinthatnightinthebeginningofher

45Andsherisesonthatdaywithexactlyaseventhpart,andcomesforthand
recedesfromtherisingofthesun,andinherremainingdaysshebecomesbright
inthethirteenparts.
46AndIsawanothercourse,alawforher,howaccordingtothatlawshe
performshermonthlyrevolution.
47AndalltheseUriel,theholyangelwhoistheleaderofthemallshowedto
me,andtheirpositions,andIwrotedowntheirpositionsasheshowedthemto

48Insingleseventhpartssheaccomplishesallherlightintheeast,andinsingle

49Andincertainmonthsshealtershersettings,andincertainmonthsshe
pursuesherownpeculiarcourse.
50Intwomonthsthemoonsetswiththesun:inthosetwomiddleportalsthe
thirdandthefourth.Shegoesforthforsevendays,andturnsaboutandreturns
againthroughtheportalwherethesunrises,andaccomplishesallherlightand
sherecedesfromthesun,andineightdaysentersthesixthportalfromwhichthe

51Andwhenthesungoesforthfromthefourthportalshegoesforthsevendays,

52Andshereturnsagaininsevendaysintothefourthportalfromwhichthesun
goesforth.
53ThusIsawtheirposition,howthemoonsroseandthesunsetinthosedays.
54Andiffiveyearsareaddedtogetherthesunhasanoverplusofthirtydays,
andallthedayswhichaccruetoitforoneofthosefiveyears,whentheyarefull,

55Andtheoverplusofthesunandofthestarsamountstosixdays:in5years6
dayseveryyearcometo30days:andthemoonfallsbehindthesunandstarsto
thenumberof30days.
56Andthesunandthestarsbringinalltheyearsexactly,sothattheydonot
advanceordelaytheirpositionbyasingledayuntoeternity;butcompletethe

57In3yearsthereare1,092days,andin5years1,820days,sothatin8years

61Andtheyearisaccuratelycompletedinconformitywiththeirworld−stations
andthestationsofthesun,whichrisefromtheportalsthroughwhichitrisesand

64ForthesignsandthetimesandtheyearsandthedaystheangelUrielshowed
tome,whomtheLordofgloryhathsetforeveroveralltheluminariesofthe

65InlikemannertwelvedoorsUrielshowedmeopeninthecircumferenceof

69AndIsawchariotsintheheaven,runningintheworld,abovethoseportalsin

70Andoneislargerthanalltherestanditisthatthatmakesitscoursethrough

71AndattheendsoftheearthIsawtwelveportalsopentoallthequartersfrom
whichthewindsgoforthandblowovertheearth.
72Threeofthemareopenonthefaceoftheheavens,andthreeinthewest,and

74Throughfourofthesecomewindsofblessingandprosperityandfromthose

earthandonthewateruponit,andonallwhodwellthereon,andoneverything
whichisinthewaterandontheland.
75Andthefirstwindfromthoseportals,calledtheeastwind,comesforth
throughthefirstportalwhichisintheeast,incliningtowardsthesouth:fromit

85Andthefirstquarteriscalledtheeastbecauseitisthefirst.Andthesecond,

Chapter5
Visions
1Andnow,mysonMethuselah,IwillshowtheeallmyvisionswhichIhave
seen,recountingthembeforethee.
2TwovisionsIsawbeforeItookawife,andtheonewasquiteunliketheother.
ThefirstwhenIwaslearningtowrite:thesecondbeforeItookthymotherIsaw
aterriblevision.
3AndregardingthemIprayedtotheLord.Ihadlaidmedowninthehouseof
mygrandfatherMahalaleelIsawinavisionhowtheheavencollapsedandwas
borneoffandfelltotheearth.
4AndwhenitfelltotheearthIsawhowtheearthwasswallowedupinagreat
abyss,andmountainsweresuspendedonmountains,andhillssankdownon
hills,andhightreeswererentfromtheirstemsandhurleddownandsunkinthe
abyss.
5AndthereuponawordfellintomymouthandIlifteduptocryaloud,andsaid:
"Theearthisdestroyed!"
6AndmygrandfatherMahalaleelwakedmeasIlaynearhim,andsaiduntome:
"Whydostthoucrysomyson,andwhydostthoumakesuchlamentation?"
7AndIrecountedtohimthewholevisionwhichIhadseen,andhesaidunto
me:"Aterriblethinghastthouseen,myson,andofgravemomentisthydream
visionastothesecretsifallthesinoftheearth:itmustsinkintotheabyssand
bedestroyedwithagreatdestruction.
8Andnow,myson,ariseandmakepetitiontotheLordofglory,sincethouarta
believerthataremnantmayremainontheearth,andthatHemaynotdestroythe
wholeearth.Myson,fromheavenallthiswillcomeupontheearth,andupon
theearththerewillbegreatdestruction."
9AfterthatIaroseandprayedandimploredandbesought,andwrotedownmy
prayerforthegenerationsoftheworld,andIwillshoweverythingtothee,my
sonMethuselah.
10AndwhenIhadgoneforthbelowandseentheheavenandthesunrisingin
theeast,andthemoonsettinginthewest,andafewstars,andthewholeearth,
andeverythingasHehadknownitinthebeginningthenIblessedtheLordof
judgementandextolledHimbecauseHehadmadethesuntogoforthfromthe
windowsoftheeast,andHeascendedandroseonthefaceoftheheaven,andset
outandkepttraversingthepathshownuntoHim.
11AndIliftedupmyhandsinrighteousnessandblessedtheHolyandGreat
Oneandspakewiththebreathofmymouth,andwiththetongueoffleshwhich
Godhasmadeforthechildrenofthefleshofmenthattheyshouldspeak
therewith,andHegavethembreathandatongueandamouththattheyshould
speaktherewith:
12"BlessedbeThou,OLord,King,GreatandmightyinThygreatness,Lordof
thewholecreationoftheheaven,KingofkingsandGodofthewholeworld.
13AndThypowerandkingshipandgreatnessabideforeverandever,and
throughoutallgenerationsThydominion;andalltheheavensareThythronefor
ever,andthewholeearthThyfootstoolforeverandever.
14ForThouhastmadeandThourulestallthingsandnothingistoohardfor
Thee.
15WisdomdepartsnotfromtheplaceofThythronenorturnsawayfromThy
presence.
16AndThouknowestandseestandhearesteverythingandthereisnothing
hiddenfromTheeforThouseesteverything.
17AndnowtheangelsofThyheavensareguiltyoftrespassandupontheflesh
ofmenabidethThywrathuntilthegreatdayofjudgement.
18Andnow,OGodandLordandGreatKing,IimploreandbeseechTheeto
fulfilmyprayertoleavemeaposterityonearthandnotdestroyallthefleshof
manandmaketheearthwithoutinhabitantsothatthereshouldbeaneternal
destruction.
19Andnow,myLord,destroyfromtheearththefleshwhichhasarousedThy
wrathbutthefleshofrighteousnessanduprightnessestablishasaplantofthe
eternalseedandhidenotThyfacefromtheprayerofThyservant,OLord."
20AndafterthisIsawanotherdream,andIwillshowthewholedreamtothee,
myson.
21AndEnochliftedupandspaketohissonMethuselah:"Tothee,myson,will
Ispeak:hearmywords−inclinethineeartothedream−visionofthyfather.
22BeforeItookthymotherEdna,Isawinavisiononmybed,andbeholdabull
cameforthfromtheearth,andthatbullwaswhite;andafteritcamefortha
heifer,andalongwiththiscameforthtwobulls,oneofthemblackandtheother
red.
23Andthatblackbullgoredtheredoneandpursuedhimovertheearth,and
thereuponIcouldnolongerseethatredbull.
24Butthatblackbullgrewandthatheiferwentwithhim,andIsawthatmany
oxenproceededfromhimwhichresembledandfollowedhim.
25Andthatcow,thatfirstone,wentfromthepresenceofthatfirstbullinorder
toseekthatredone,butfoundhimnot,andlamentedwithagreatlamentation
overhimandsoughthim.
26AndIlookedtillthatfirstbullcametoherandquietedher,andfromthattime
onwardshecriednomore.
27Andafterthatsheboreanotherwhitebull,andafterhimsheboremanybulls
andblackcows.
28AndIsawinmysleepthatwhitebulllikewisegrowandbecomeagreat
whitebull,andfromhimproceededmanywhitebulls,andtheyresembledhim.
Andtheybegantobegetmanywhitebulls,whichresembledthem,one
followingtheother,many.
29AndagainIsawwithmineeyesasIslept,andIsawtheheavenabove,and
beholdastarfellfromheaven,anditaroseandeatandpasturedamongstthose
oxen.
30AndafterthatIsawthelargeandtheblackoxen,andbeholdtheyallchanged
theirstallsandpasturesandtheircattle,andbegantolivewitheachother.
31AndagainIsawinthevision,andlookedtowardstheheaven,andbeholdI
sawmanystarsdescendandcastthemselvesdownfromheaventothatfirststar,
andtheybecamebullsamongstthosecattleandpasturedwiththemamongst
them.
32AndIlookedatthemandsaw,andbeholdtheyallletouttheirprivy
members,likehorses,andbegantocoverthecowsoftheoxen,andtheyall
becamepregnantandbareelephants,camels,andasses.
33Andalltheoxenfearedthemandwereaffrightedatthem,andbegantobite
withtheirteethandtodevour,andtogorewiththeirhorns.
34Andtheybegan,moreover,todevourthoseoxen;andbeholdallthechildren
oftheearthbegantotrembleandquakebeforethemandtofleefromthem.
35AndagainIsawhowtheybegantogoreeachotherandtodevoureachother,
andtheearthbegantocryaloud.
36AndIraisedmineeyesagaintoheaven,andIsawinthevision,andbehold
therecameforthfromheavenbeingswhowerelikewhitemen:andfourwent
forthfromthatplaceandthreewiththem.
37Andthosethreethathadlastcomeforthgraspedmebymyhandandtookme
upawayfromthegenerationsoftheearth,andraisedmeuptoaloftyplace,and
showedmeatowerraisedhighabovetheearthandallthehillswerelower.
38Andonesaiduntome:"Remainheretillthouseesteverythingthatbefalls
thoseelephants,camels,andasses,andthestarsandtheoxen,andallofthem."
39AndIsawoneofthosefourwhohadcomeforthfirst,andheseizedthatfirst
starwhichhadfallenfromtheheaven,andboundithandandfootandcastitinto
anabyss.
40Nowthatabysswasnarrowanddeep,andhorribleanddark.
41Andoneofthemdrewasword,andgaveittothoseelephantsandcamelsand
asses:thentheybegantosmiteeachother,andthewholeearthquakedbecause
ofthem.
42AndasIwasbeholdinginthevision,lo,oneofthosefourwhohadcome
forthstonedthemfromheaven,andgatheredandtookallthegreatstarswhose
privymemberswerelikethoseofhorsesandboundthemallhandandfoot,and
casttheminanabyssoftheearth.
43Andoneofthosefourwenttothatwhitebullandinstructedhiminasecret
withouthisbeingterrified:hewasbornabullandbecameaman,andbuiltfor
himselfagreatvesselanddweltthereon;andthreebullsdweltwithhiminthat
vesselandtheywerecoveredin.
44AndagainIraisedmineeyestowardsheavenandsawaloftyroof,withseven
watertorrentsthereonandthosetorrentsflowedwithmuchwaterintoan
enclosure.
45AndIsawagain,andbeholdfountainswereopenedonthesurfaceofthat
greatenclosure,andthatwaterbegantoswellandriseuponthesurfaceandI
sawthatenclosuretillallitssurfacewascoveredwithwater.
46Andthewater,thedarkness,andmistincreaseduponit;andasIlookedatthe
heightofthatwater,thatwaterhadrisenabovetheheightofthatenclosure,and
wasstreamingoverthatenclosure,anditstoodupontheearth.
47AndallthecattleofthatenclosureweregatheredtogetheruntilIsawhow
theysankandwereswallowedupandperishedinthatwater.
48Butthatvesselfloatedonthewater,whilealltheoxenandelephantsand
camelsandassessanktothebottomwithalltheanimals,sothatIcouldno
longerseethem,andtheywerenotabletoescape,perishedandsankintothe
depths.
49AndagainIsawinthevisiontillthosewatertorrentswereremovedfromthat
highroof,andthechasmsoftheearthwereleveledupandotherabysseswere
opened.
50Thenthewaterbegantorundownintothese,tilltheearthbecamevisible;but
thatvesselsettledontheearth,andthedarknessretiredandlightappeared.
51Butthatwhitebullwhichhadbecomeamancameoutofthatvessel,andthe
threebullswithhim,andoneofthosethreewaswhitelikethatbull,andoneof
themwasredasblood,andoneblack:andthatwhitebulldepartedfromthem.
52Andtheybegantobringforthbeastsofthefieldandbirds,sothattherearose
differentgenera:lions,tigers,wolves,dogs,hyenas,wildboars,foxes,squirrels,
swine,falcons,vultures,kites,eagles,andravens;andamongthemwasborna
whitebull.
53Andtheybegantobiteoneanother;butthatwhitebullwhichwasborn
amongstthembegatawildassandawhitebullwithit,andthewildasses
multiplied.Butthatbullwhichwasbornfromhimbegatablackwildboaranda
whitesheep;andtheformerbegatmanyboars,butthatsheepbegattwelve
sheep.
54Andwhenthosetwelvesheephadgrown,theygaveuponeofthemtothe
asses,andthoseassesagaingaveupthatsheeptothewolves,andthatsheep
grewupamongthewolves.
55AndtheLordbroughttheelevensheeptolivewithitandtopasturewithit
amongthewolves:andtheymultipliedandbecamemanyflocksofsheep.
56Andthewolvesbegantofearthem,andtheyoppressedthemuntilthey
destroyed-cryaloudonaccountoftheirlittleones,andtocomplainuntotheir
Lord.
57Andasheepwhichhadbeensavedfromthewolvesfledandescapedtothe
wildasses;andIsawthesheephowtheylamentedandcried,andbesoughttheir
Lordwithalltheirmight,tillthatLordofthesheepdescendedatthevoiceofthe
sheepfromaloftyabode,andcametothemandpasturedthem.
58AndHecalledthatsheepwhichhadescapedthewolves,andspakewithit
concerningthewolvesthatitshouldadmonishthemnottotouchthesheep.
59AndthesheepwenttothewolvesaccordingtothewordoftheLord,and
anothersheepmetitandwentwithit,andthetwowentandenteredtogetherinto
theassemblyofthosewolves,andspakewiththemandadmonishedthemnotto
touchthesheepfromhenceforth.
60AndthereuponIsawthewolves,andhowtheyoppressedthesheep
exceedinglywithalltheirpower;andthesheepcriedaloud.
61AndtheLordcametothesheepandtheybegantosmitethosewolvesandthe
wolvesbegantomakelamentation;butthesheepbecamequietandforthwith
ceasedtocryout.
62AndIsawthesheeptilltheydepartedfromamongstthewolves;buttheeyes
ofthewolveswereblinded,andthosewolvesdepartedinpursuitofthesheep
withalltheirpower.
63AndtheLordofthesheepwentwiththem,astheirleader,andallHissheep
followedHim:andhisfacewasdazzlingandgloriousandterribletobehold.
64Butthewolvesbegantopursuethosesheeptilltheyreachedaseaofwater.
Andthatseawasdivided,andthewaterstoodonthissideandonthatbefore
theirface,andtheirLordledthemandplacedHimselfbetweenthemandthe
wolves.
65Andasthosewolvesdidnotyetseethesheep,theyproceededintothemidst
ofthatsea,andthewolvesfollowedthesheep,andthosewolvesranafterthem
intothatsea.
66AndwhentheysawtheLordofthesheep,theyturnedtofleebeforeHisface,
butthatseagathereditselftogether,andbecameasithadbeencreated,andthe
waterswelledandrosetillitcoveredthosewolves.
67AndIsawtillallthewolveswhopursuedthosesheepperishedandwere
drowned.
68Butthesheepescapedfromthatwaterandwentforthintoawilderness,
wheretherewasnowaterandnograss;andtheybegantoopentheireyesandto
see;andIsawtheLordofthesheeppasturingthemandgivingthemwaterand
grass,andthatsheepgoingandleadingthem.
69Andthatsheepascendedtothesummitofthatloftyrock,andtheLordofthe
sheepsentittothem.
70AndafterthatIsawtheLordofthesheepwhostoodbeforethem,andHis
appearancewasgreatandterribleandmajestic,andallthosesheepsawHimand
wereafraidbeforeHisface.
71AndtheyallfearedandtrembledbecauseofHim,andtheycriedtothatsheep
withthemwhichwasamongstthem:"WearenotabletostandbeforeourLord
ortobeholdHim."
72Andthatsheepwhichledthemagainascendedtothesummitofthatrock,but
thesheepbegantobeblindedandtowanderfromthewaywhichhehadshowed
them,butthatsheepwotnotthereof.
73AndtheLordofthesheepwaswrathfulexceedinglyagainstthem,andthat
sheepdiscoveredit,andwentdownfromthesummitoftherock,andcameto
thesheep,andfoundthegreatestpartofthemblindedandfallenaway.
74Andwhentheysawittheyfearedandtrembledatitspresence,anddesiredto
returntotheirfolds.
75Andthatsheeptookothersheepwithit,andcametothosesheepwhichhad
fallenaway,andbegantoslaythem;andthesheepfeareditspresence,andthus
thatsheepbroughtbackthosesheepthathadfallenaway,andtheyreturnedto
theirfolds.
76AndIsawinthisvisiontillthatsheepbecameamanandbuiltahouseforthe
Lordofthesheep,andplacedallthesheepinthathouse.
77AndIsawtillthissheepwhichhadmetthatsheepwhichledthemfellasleep:
andIsawtillallthegreatsheepperishedandlittleonesaroseintheirplace,and
theycametoapasture,andapproachedastreamofwater.
78Thenthatsheep,theirleaderwhichhadbecomeaman,withdrewfromthem
andfellasleep,andallthesheepsoughtitandcriedoveritwithagreatcrying.
79AndIsawtilltheyleftoffcryingforthatsheepandcrossedthatstreamof
water,andtherearosethetwosheepasleadersintheplaceofthosewhichhad
ledthemandfallenasleep.
80AndIsawtillthesheepcametoagoodlyplace,andapleasantandglorious
land,andIsawtillthosesheepweresatisfied;andthathousestoodamongst
theminthepleasantland.
81Andsometimestheireyeswereopened,andsometimesblinded,tillanother
sheeparoseandledthemandbroughtthemallback,andtheireyeswereopened.
82Andthedogsandthefoxesandthewildboarsbegantodevourthosesheep
tilltheLordofthesheepraisedupanothersheeparamfromtheirmidst,which
ledthem.Andthatrambegantobuttoneithersidethosedogs,foxes,andwild
boarstillhehaddestroyedthemall.
83Andthatsheepwhoseeyeswereopenedsawthatram,whichwasamongst
thesheep,tillitforsookitsgloryandbegantobuttthosesheepandtrampled
uponthem,andbehaveditselfunseemly.
84AndtheLordofthesheepsentthelambtoanotherlambandraisedittobeing
aramandleaderofthesheepinsteadofthatramwhichhadforsakenitsglory.
85Anditwenttoitandspaketoitalone,andraisedittobeingaram,andmade
ittheprinceandleaderofthesheep;butduringallthesethingsthosedogs
oppressedthesheep.
86Andthefirstrampursuedthatsecondram,andthatsecondramaroseandfled
beforeit;andIsawtillthosedogspulleddownthefirstram.
87Andthatsecondramaroseandledthelittlesheep.Andthosesheepgrewand
multiplied;butallthedogs,andfoxes,andwildboarsfearedandfledbeforeit,
andthatrambuttedandkilledthewildbeasts,andthosewildbeastshadno
longeranypoweramongthe49sheepandrobbedthemnomoreofought.
88Andthatrambegatmanysheepandfellasleep;andalittlesheepbecameram
initsstead,andbecameprinceandleaderofthosesheepandthathousebecame
greatandbroad,anditwasbuiltforthosesheep.
89AtowerloftyandgreatwasbuiltonthehousefortheLordofthesheep,and
thathousewaslow,butthetowerwaselevatedandlofty,andtheLordofthe
sheepstoodonthattowerandtheyofferedafulltablebeforeHim.
90AndagainIsawthosesheepthattheyagainerredandwentmanyways,and
forsookthattheirhouse,andtheLordofthesheepcalledsomefromamongstthe
sheepandsentthemtothesheep,butthesheepbegantoslaythem.
91Andoneofthemwassavedandwasnotslain,anditspedawayandcried
aloudoverthesheep;andtheysoughttoslayit,buttheLordofthesheepsaved
itfromthesheep,andbroughtituptome,andcausedittodwellthere.
92AndmanyothersheepHesenttothosesheeptotestifyuntothemandlament
overthem.
93AndafterthatIsawthatwhentheyforsookthehouseoftheLordandHis
towertheyfellawayentirely,andtheireyeswereblinded;andIsawtheLordof
thesheephowHewroughtmuchslaughteramongstthemintheirherdsuntil
thosesheepinvitedthatslaughterandbetrayedHisplace.
94AndHegavethemoverintothehandsofthelionsandtigers,andwolvesand
hyenas,andintothehandofthefoxes,andtoallthewildbeasts,andthosewild
beastsbegantotearinpiecesthosesheep.
95AndIsawthatHeforsookthattheirhouseandtheirtowerandgavethemall
intothehandofthelions,totearanddevourthem,intothehandofallthewild
beasts.
96AndIbegantocryaloudwithallmypower,andtoappealtotheLordofthe
sheep,andtorepresenttoHiminregardtothesheepthattheyweredevouredby
allthewildbeasts.
97ButHeremainedunmoved,thoughHesawit,andrejoicedthattheywere
devouredandswallowedandrobbed,andleftthemtobedevouredinthehandof
allthebeasts.
98AndHecalledseventyshepherds,andcastthosesheeptothemthatthey
mightpasturethem,andHespaketotheshepherdsandtheircompanions:"Let
eachindividualofyoupasturethesheephenceforward,andeverythingthatI
shallcommandyouthatdoye.AndIwilldeliverthemoveruntoyouduly
numbered,andtellyouwhichofthemaretobedestroyedandthemdestroyye."
99AndHegaveoveruntothemthosesheep.
100AndHecalledanotherandspakeuntohim:"Observeandmarkeverything
thattheshepherdswilldotothosesheep;fortheywilldestroymoreofthemthan
Ihavecommandedthem.Andeveryexcessandthedestructionwhichwillbe
wroughtthroughtheshepherds,recordhowmanytheydestroyaccordingtomy
command,andhowmanyaccordingtotheirowncaprice:recordagainstevery
individualshepherdallthedestructionheeffects.Andreadoutbeforemeby
numberhowmanytheydestroy,andhowmanytheydeliveroverfordestruction,
thatImayhavethisasatestimonyagainstthem,andknoweverydeedofthe
shepherds,thatImaycomprehendandseewhattheydo,whetherornotthey
abidebymycommandwhichIhavecommandedthem.Buttheyshallnotknow
it,andthoushaltnotdeclareittothem,noradmonishthem,butonlyrecord
againsteachindividualallthedestructionwhichtheshepherdseffecteachinhis
timeandlayitallbeforeme."
101AndIsawtillthoseshepherdspasturedintheirseason,andtheybeganto
slayandtodestroymorethantheywerebidden,andtheydeliveredthosesheep
intothehandofthelions.
102Andthelionsandtigerseatanddevouredthegreaterpartofthosesheep,
andthewildboarseatalongwiththem;andtheyburntthattowerand
demolishedthathouse.
103AndIbecameexceedinglysorrowfuloverthattowerbecausethathouseof
thesheepwasdemolished,andafterwardsIwasunabletoseeifthosesheep
enteredthathouse.
104Andtheshepherdsandtheirassociatesdeliveredoverthosesheeptoallthe
wildbeasts,todevourthem,andeachoneofthemreceivedinhistimeadefinite
number:itwaswrittenbytheotherinabookhowmanyeachoneofthem
destroyedofthem.
105Andeachoneslewanddestroyedmanymorethanwasprescribed;andI
begantoweepandlamentonaccountofthosesheep.
106AndthusinthevisionIsawthatonewhowrote,howhewrotedownevery
onethatwasdestroyedbythoseshepherds,daybyday,andcarriedupandlaid
downandshowedactuallythewholebooktotheLordofthesheep−everything
thattheyhaddone,andallthateachoneofthemhadmadeawaywith,andall
thattheyhadgivenovertodestruction.
107AndthebookwasreadbeforetheLordofthesheep,andHetookthebook
fromhishandandreaditandsealeditandlaiditdown.
108AndforthwithIsawhowtheshepherdspasturedfortwelvehours,and
beholdthreeofthosesheepturnedbackandcameandenteredandbegantobuild
upallthathadfallendownofthathouse;butthewildboarstriedtohinderthem,
buttheywerenotable.
109Andtheybeganagaintobuildasbefore,andtheyrearedupthattower,and
itwasnamedthehightower;andtheybeganagaintoplaceatablebeforethe
tower,butallthebreadonitwaspollutedandnotpure.
110Andastouchingallthistheeyesofthosesheepwereblindedsothatthey
sawnot,andtheirshepherdslikewise;andtheydeliveredtheminlargenumbers
totheirshepherdsfordestruction,andtheytrampledthesheepwiththeirfeetand
devouredthem.
111AndtheLordofthesheepremainedunmovedtillallthesheepwere
dispersedoverthefieldandmingledwiththemandtheydidnotsavethemoutof
thehandofthebeasts.
112Andthisonewhowrotethebookcarrieditup,andshoweditandreadit
beforetheLordofthesheep,andimploredHimontheiraccount,andbesought
HimontheiraccountasheshowedHimallthedoingsoftheshepherds,and
gavetestimonybeforeHimagainstalltheshepherds.
113AndhetooktheactualbookandlaiditdownbesideHimanddeparted.
114AndIsawtillthatinthismannerthirty−fiveshepherdsundertookthe
pasturing,andtheyseverallycompletedtheirperiodsasdidthefirst;andothers
receivethemintotheirhands,topasturethemfortheirperiod,eachshepherdin
hisownperiod.
115AndafterthatIsawinmyvisionallthebirdsofheavencoming,theeagles,
thevultures,thekites,theravens;buttheeaglesledallthebirds;andtheybegan
todevourthosesheep,andtopickouttheireyesandtodevourtheirflesh.
116Andthesheepcriedoutbecausetheirfleshwasbeingdevouredbythebirds
andasformeIlookedandlamentedinmysleepoverthatshepherdwho
pasturedthesheep.
117AndIsawuntilthosesheepweredevouredbythedogsandeaglesandkites,
andtheyleftneitherfleshnorskinnorsinewremainingonthemtillonlytheir
bonesstoodthere:andtheirbonestoofelltotheearthandthesheepbecamefew.
118AndIsawuntilthattwenty−threehadundertakenthepasturingand
completedintheirseveralperiodsfifty−eighttimes.
119Butbeholdlambswerebornebythosewhitesheep,andtheybegantoopen
theireyesandtosee,andtocrytothesheep.
120Yea,theycriedtothem,buttheydidnothearkentowhattheysaidtothem,
butwereexceedinglydeaf,andtheireyeswereveryexceedinglyblinded.
121AndIsawinthevisionhowtheravensflewuponthoselambsandtookone
ofthoselambs,anddashedthesheepinpiecesanddevouredthem.
122AndIsawtillhornsgrewuponthoselambs,andtheravenscastdowntheir
horns;andIsawtilltheresproutedagreathornofoneofthosesheep,andtheir
eyeswereopened.
123Anditlookedatthemandtheireyesopened,anditcriedtothesheep,and
theramssawitandallrantoit.
124Andnotwithstandingallthisthoseeaglesandvulturesandravensandkites
stillkepttearingthesheepandswoopingdownuponthemanddevouringthem:
stillthesheepremainedsilent,buttheramslamentedandcriedout.
125Andthoseravensfoughtandbattledwithitandsoughttolaylowitshorn,
buttheyhadnopoweroverit.
126Alltheeaglesandvulturesandravensandkitesweregatheredtogetherand
therecamewiththemallthesheepofthefield,yea,theyallcametogether,and
helpedeachothertobreakthathornoftheram.
127AndIsawtillagreatswordwasgiventothesheep,andthesheepproceeded
againstallthebeastsofthefieldtoslaythem,andallthebeastsandthebirdsof
theheavenfledbeforetheirface.
128AndIsawthatman,whowrotethebookaccordingtothecommandofthe
Lord,tillheopenedthatbookconcerningthedestructionwhichthosetwelvelast
shepherdshadwrought,andshowedthattheyhaddestroyedmuchmorethan
theirpredecessors,beforetheLordofthesheep.
129AndIsawtilltheLordofthesheepcameuntothemandtookinHishand
thestaffofHiswrath,andsmotetheearth,andtheearthclaveasunder,andall
thebeastsandallthebirdsoftheheavenfellfromamongthosesheep,andwere
swallowedupintheearthanditcoveredthem.
130AndIsawtillathronewaserectedinthepleasantland,andtheLordofthe
sheepsatHimselfthereon,andtheothertookthesealedbooksandopenedthose
booksbeforetheLordofthesheep.
131AndtheLordcalledthosementhesevenfirstwhiteones,andcommanded
thattheyshouldbringbeforeHim,beginningwiththefirststarwhichledthe
way,allthestarswhoseprivymemberswerelikethoseofhorses,andthey
broughtthemallbeforeHim.
132AndHesaidtothatmanwhowrotebeforeHim,beingoneofthoseseven
whiteones,andsaiduntohim:"TakethoseseventyshepherdstowhomI
deliveredthesheep,andwhotakingthemontheirownauthorityslewmorethan
Icommandedthem."
133Andbeholdtheywereallbound,Isaw,andtheyallstoodbeforeHim.
134Andthejudgementwasheldfirstoverthestars,andtheywerejudgedand
foundguilty,andwenttotheplaceofcondemnation,andtheywerecastintoan
abyss,fulloffireandflaming,andfullofpillarsoffire.
135Andthoseseventyshepherdswerejudgedandfoundguilty,andtheywere
castintothatfieryabyss.
136AndIsawatthattimehowalikeabysswasopenedinthemidstoftheearth,
fulloffire,andtheybroughtthoseblindedsheep,andtheywerealljudgedand
foundguiltyandcastintothisfieryabyss,andtheyburned;nowthisabysswas
totherightofthathouse.
137AndIsawthosesheepburningandtheirbonesburning.
138AndIstooduptoseetilltheyfoldedupthatoldhouse;andcarriedoffall
thepillars,andallthebeamsandornamentsofthehousewereatthesametime
foldedupwithit,andtheycarrieditoffandlaiditinaplaceinthesouthofthe
land.
139AndIsawtilltheLordofthesheepbroughtanewhousegreaterandloftier
thanthatfirst,andsetitupintheplaceofthefirstwhichhadbeerfoldedup:all
itspillarswerenew,anditsornamentswerenewandlargerthanthoseofthe
first,theoldonewhichHehadtakenaway,andallthesheepwerewithinit.
140AndIsawallthesheepwhichhadbeenleft,andallthebeastsontheearth,
andallthebirdsoftheheaven,fallingdownanddoinghomagetothosesheep
andmakingpetitiontoandobeyingthemineverything.
141Andthereafterthosethreewhowereclothedinwhiteandhadseizedmeby
myhandwhohadtakenmeupbefore,andthehandofthatramalsoseizinghold
ofme,theytookmeupandsetmedowninthemidstofthosesheepbeforethe
judgementtookplace.
142Andthosesheepwereallwhite,andtheirwoolwasabundantandclean.
143Andallthathadbeendestroyedanddispersed,andallthebeastsofthefield,
andallthebirdsoftheheaven,assembledinthathouse,andtheLordofthe
sheeprejoicedwithgreatjoybecausetheywereallgoodandhadreturnedtoHis
house.
144AndIsawtilltheylaiddownthatsword,whichhadbeengiventothesheep,
andtheybroughtitbackintothehouse,anditwassealedbeforethepresenceof
theLord,andallthesheepwereinvitedintothathouse,butitheldthemnot.
145Andtheeyesofthemallwereopened,andtheysawthegood,andtherewas
notoneamongthemthatdidnotsee.
146AndIsawthatthathousewaslargeandbroadandveryfull.
147AndIsawthatawhitebullwasborn,withlargehornsandallthebeastsof
thefieldandallthebirdsoftheairfearedhimandmadepetitiontohimallthe

148AndIsawtillalltheirgenerationsweretransformed,andtheyallbecame
whitebulls;andthefirstamongthembecamealamb,andthatlambbecamea
greatanimalandhadgreatblackhornsonitshead;andtheLordofthesheep
rejoicedoveritandoveralltheoxen.
149AndIsleptintheirmidst:andIawokeandsaweverything.
150ThisisthevisionwhichIsawwhileIslept,andIawokeandblessedthe
LordofrighteousnessandgaveHimglory.
151ThenIweptwithagreatweepingandmytearsstayednottillIcouldno

152OnthatnightIrememberedthefirstdream,andbecauseofitIweptandwas

48AndoveralltherighteousandholyHewillappointguardiansfromamongst
theholyangelstoguardthemastheappleofaneyeuntilHemakesanendofall
wickednessandallsin,andthoughtherighteoussleepalongsleep,theyhave

50Woetoyou,Sinners,onthedayofstronganguish,Yewhoafflictthe

10AndalltheblessingsdestinedforthemIhaverecountedinthebooks.

TheBookoftheGiants
TheBookoftheGiantswaspublishedinnotlessthansixorsevenlanguages.
FromtheoriginalSyriactheGreekandMiddlePersianversionsweremade.The

theSogdian.ThereisnotraceofaParthiantext.Thebookmayhaveexistedin
Coptic.ThepresenceofnamessuchasSāmandNarīmānintheArabicversion

(H)probablyderivesfromaSyriacepitomeofthebook.Naturally,Manichæan
authorsquotedthebookfrequently,butthereisonlyonedirectcitationbyanon-

referring to the Book of the Giants (texts J-T) go back to Syriac writings
(apparently). They are, therefore, to be treated as quotations from the Syriac
edition.E.g.theParthiantextNisnottheproductofaParthianwriterwhomight
haveemployedaParthianversionofthebook,butwastranslatedfromaSyriac

RECONSTRUCTEDSUMMARYOFTHE
BOOKOFGIANTS
CHAPTER ONE: The Watchers are grieved over the sins of mankind, and
petition God to let them descend to the earth to teach the sons of men
righteousness and to rebuke them. God grants theirpetition. Azazel is sent to
prepare the wayfor the Watchers.Azazel prepares theway, and theWatchers
descendandtheybegintoteachthemrighteousnessandjustice.Enochischosen
bytheWatcherstoserveasamediatorbetweenmenandtheWatchers.
CHAPTERTWO:ThedaughtersofmenlustaftertheattractiveWatchers,and
seduce them; Azazel, with Shemhazah's help, instigates the fall of the 200
Watchersandtheirfollowers.TheWatchersfallfromtheirgloriousnature,and
become boundto fleshly bodiesas a consequenceof their joining sexually to
flesh.Theybegintorevealtotheirwivesheavenlyandearthlysecrets.
CHAPTER THREE: The Watchers have their own families with humans and
also with animals, and those that were defiled by them give birth to Giants.
These Giants begin to grow to massive sizes, and become full of greed and
corruption. They kill many dragons and the sons of Cain worship them for
protectingthem.ThechildrenofCainarenolongerabletosustaintheGiants
withtheirofferingsofvegtablesandgrainsotheGiantsturnonthemandkill
them and begin to eat them. The Giants develop a taste for blood and begin
eatinganymovingthingincludingeachother.TheWatchersteachsomeofthe
secrets they were appointed over to keep from the sons of men. The Giants
imitatethesinsoftheirfathers,andtakeforthemselveswivesandanimalmates,
andtheybegetNaphilandEliyo.Godseeingallthiswickedness,sendsEnochto
declaretoShemhazahandthefallenWatchersthattheywillbesoonpunished
forcausingtheearthtobecorrupted.
CHAPTERFOUR:EnochissentbytherighteousWatcherstorebukethefallen
Watchers and to declare to them their doom. He comes to Azazel first and
condemns him as the principal sinner amongst the fallen Watchers. He then
summonsMahawaytohimandhashimgatheralltheWatchersforhismessage.
EnochenterstheassemblyofthefallenWatchers,andgivesthemthemessageof
doom.TheyweepandlamentandbegEnochtopresenttoGodtheirpetitionfor
mercyandasecondchance-torestorethemtotheirformergloryandthattheir
sonsmighthaveeternallife.TheyrequiredamessengertotalktoGodbecause
God had since stopped talking to them after their transgression. Enoch hears
theircaseandtellsthemhewilltalktoGodontheirbehalf.
CHAPTERFIVE:Enoch,havingwrittenthepetitionofthefallenWatchersand
discussing itwith God, receivesa vision from God as aresponse, and Enoch
writesthevisionforthefallenWatchersinabookandgivesthebooktothem.
Enoch declares to them they will not be forgiven, and describes for them his
ascentintothepresenceofGod,wherehewasgivenamessageforthem.
CHAPTERSIX:EnochreceivedfromGodananswerforthefallenWatchers:he
istoldtotellthemwhytheywerenotgivenpermissiontohavesex,andwhat
theirpunishmentisbecauseofit,andheforetellsuntothemthemiserabledoom
andfateoftheoffspringofthefallenWatchers,andforetellstothemthatthey
willbecomeevilspiritsandwillnothaveeternallifebutthattheiryearswillbe
nomore than 500. Afterhearingthisthefallen Watchers and theirGiantsons
takeupstonestothrowatEnochbuttheholyWatchersshieldEnochfromtheir
deadlyblowsand lift Enochupintotheheavens to escapetheirearthlywrath
against Enoch the messenger. (This is perhaps the first time that anyone ever
attemptedto"killthemessenger.")
CHAPTER SEVEN: Hobabesh kidnaps another Giant's wife, and starts a war
amongsttheGiants.Whenthewarwasending,oneofOhyah'scompanionswas
killedbyMahaway.OhyahmournswithhisfatherShemhazahabouthisfriend,
andtheycurseMahaway.Mahawaydefendshimself,appealingtothewordsof
his father Baraqel as justification. Ohyah gets angry and attempts to kill
Mahaway, but Gilgamesh and the other Giants prevent Ohyah from doing so,
andtheywardoffOhyah'smurderousintentions.(Thisiswherewelearnabout
Gilgameshslayingdragons,ordinosaursandbeingaheroforthenormalsized
menofthattime.)
CHAPTEREIGHT: Gilgamesh has adream,but interprets it asindicatingthe
Giantswillnotbepunished.TheGiantscelebratebutaren'tentirelyconvinced,
andsubsequenttothis,OhyahandHahyahhavedreamsoftheirown.Theyseek
theinterpretationofthedreams,butnoneoftheGiantscandeclaretothemwhat
themeaningoftheirdreamsare,sotheGiantshaveMahawaygotoEnochin
ordertolearnfromhimthemeaningofthedreamsandtolearnwhatthefateof
the Giants will be. Mahaway flies to Enoch, and Enochgreets Mahaway, and
Mahaway explains why he came, and Enoch proceeds to give Mahaway the
answer,andhewritesitdowninatablet,andgivesasecondtabletaswellto
Mahaway intended for Shemhazah and the Watchers, and he sends Mahaway
backtotheGiantswiththetwotablets.
CHAPTERNINE:MahawayfliesbacktotheGiantswiththetwotablets.And
MahawaytellsthemofhisjourneytoEnochandofEnochsavinghislife,and
tellsthem that Enochhadgiven him twotabletsandrevealed everything they
hadwantedtoknowformhim.Thefirsttabletisread.TheGiantsdiscussthe
contents of the first tablet after it is finished being read, and realize they are
doomed,andtheylamentovertheirmiserablefate.Theythenhavethesecond
tabletread.Enochtells
ShemhazahthatheandtheotherfallenWatcherswillsoonbebound,butthatthe
Giants should repent and pray, for they still have a chance to benefit from
reformationoftheirlives.
CHAPTERTEN:ShemhazahurgeshistwosonsOhyahandHahyahtoreform
theirlives in the hopesthatthey will be yetgivenmercy. OhyahandHahyah
listentotheadviceofShemhazahandattempttoconvincetheGiantstoreform
themselves, teaching them through proverbs where true success is found. The
Giantsseektoreformtheirlives.EnochissenttodeclaretotheWatchersthat
within120years,theywouldallbeboundinadarkprisonofpunishmentfor
their sins, and that their sons would all be destroyed from off the face of the
earth.NoahbeginstobuildtheArk.Aroundthistime,onlyAzazelisbound.
CHAPTER ELEVEN: The Giants lament over Azazel being bound, and then
they and the Watchers, seeing that they were not bound or destroyed vaunted
themselves. When this happened, Gabriel the archangel was sent to incite the
Giantstocommitcivilwaragainstthemselvesandtheiroffspring,andtheyall
began to kill each other, and the Watchers beheld the destruction of their
families.WhenthewaroftheGiantsendswithfewsurvivors,allofthefallen
Watchers are subsequently bound by the angels into the dark prison of
punishment.
CHAPTERTWELVE:NoahgoesintotheArk,andthefloodcomes,andbegins
tokillalllife,butnotalltheGiantsarekilledbytheflood.Inordertofixthis,
YehuwehsendstheLeviathan,andtheLeviathanbeginstokillalltheGiantsand
theirsonswhosurvived.OhyahalonesurvivestheattacksoftheLeviathan,and
killstheLeviathan.ThearchangelRaphaelissentbyYehuwehinordertopunish
OhyahforkillingtheLeviathan,andtofinallyrestoretheearthtopurityOhyah
iskilledandboundinthedarkprisonofpunishmentwiththefallenWatchers.
Thefloodbeingover,andtheGiantsandtheirsonsstillremainingontheearth
withoutbodies,becomeevilspirits,andaregivenalawbyanangelofYehuweh
how they are to live if they want to avoid being sent to the dark prison of
punishmentthattheWatchersweresentto.AndthisexplainshowtheNephilim
cametobeontheearthaftertheflood.
EvidenceofGiants
Fossilized remains of giant human skeletons have been found all around the
world.Ranginginsize,manyofthemhavebeenrecoveredwithgiantweapons,
armor, and strange artifacts dubbed OOPARTS (Out of Place Artifacts). The
currentworldviewmodelforhumanitydoesn'tsupporttheexistenceofagiant
human race (according to evolution). These enormous ancient human beings
were worshipped throughoutvarious world religionsof which tellof many of
themslayingdragons.Itisimportanttonotethattheterm"dragon"wasreplaced
bytheword"dinosaur"in1871bySir.EdwardOwen.Hence,anyreferencein
ancient literature to dragons, is a reference to dinosaurs according to the
ontology of the word change associations involved. The following is a brief
report of recovered giant fossilized human remains of which most end up in
privatecollectionsoftheeliteofsocietysaveafewwhohavefoundtheirwayto
museumsaroundtheworld.Althoughinrecentyears many of these museums

their discoveries remain documented and undisputed by reasonable scholars

Perhapsthebestplacetostartoffwithprovidingevidenceoftheexistenceof

had said that Arcadia was once called Gigantis, or "The Land of Giants,"
becauseof thegiantswho hadformerlylived there. Itwas also knownas the
Greek Garden of Eden. This connection between Arcadia, giants, and to the

Severaloftheworld'smostinfluentialauthorsallthroughouthistoryverifythese
accounts of giants, gods, and the island of Crete. People such as Diodorus
Siculus, Pliny, Strabo, Plutarch, and Plato, just to name a few. In addition to

thelargestbonesthathaveeverbeenfoundwerediscoveredonthisverysame
island,whichmayprovethiswastrulythehomeortheLandofGiants.
During the Cretan war from 205–200 BC a massive giant skeleton was

In the The Geography of Strabo, Volume 1 By Strabo, he writes about these
giantsthatwerediscoveredincityfoundedbythebiblicalCorinthianswhoused
toresideinthemoderndayislandofCrete;
"Somewhere in this neighbourhood is the mountain Bermius,2 which was
formerly in the possession of the Briges, a Thracian nation, some of whom
passedovertoAsiaandwerecalledbyanothername,Phrygians(Phryges).After
Thessalonica follows the remaining part of the Therman Gulf, extending to
Canastneum. This is a promontory of a peninsula form, and is opposite to

country, but who were destroyed by Hercules on his return home, after the

here that help verify this history with some science, there is more scientific

themassivedoubleheadedaxesthathavebeenfoundinCrete.Theseaxesare

togiants.
This biblical story may give usa clue as to what eventually had happened to

TESTAMENTOFSOLOMON
1. Testament of Solomon, son of David, who was king in Jerusalem, and
masteredandcontrolledallspiritsoftheair,ontheearth,andundertheearth.By
meansofthemalsohewroughtallthetranscendentworksoftheTemple.Telling
alsooftheauthoritiestheywieldagainstmen,andbywhatangelsthesedemons
arebroughttonaught.
OfthesageSolomon.
Blessedartthou,OLordGod,whodidstgiveSolomonsuchauthority.Gloryto
theeandmightuntotheages.Amen.
2.Andbehold,whentheTempleofthecityofJerusalemwasbeingbuilt,andthe
artificers were working thereat, Ornias the demon came among them toward
sunset;andhetookawayhalfofthepayofthemasterworkman'slittleboy,as
well as half his food. He also continued to suck the thumb of his right hand
every day. Andthe child grew thin, althoughhe wasvery much loved by the
king.
3.SoKingSolomoncalledtheboyoneday,andquestionedhim,saying:"DoI
notlovetheemorethanalltheartisanswhoareworkingintheTempleofGod?
DoInotgivetheedoublewagesandadoublesupplyoffood?Howisitthatday
bydayandhourbyhourthougrowestthinner?"
4.Butthechildsaidtotheking:"Ipraythee,Oking.Listentowhathasbefallen
allthatthychildhath.AfterweareallreleasedfromourworkontheTempleof
God,aftersunset,whenIliedowntorest,one of the evil demons comes and
takesawayfrommeonehalfofmypayandonehalfofmyfood.Thenhealso
takesholdofmyrighthandandsucksmythumb.Andlo,mysoulisoppressed,
andsomybodywaxesthinnereveryday."
5.Nowwhen I Solomon heard this,IenteredtheTempleof God, and prayed
with all my soul, night and day, that the demon might be delivered into my
hands,andthatImightgainauthorityoverhim.Anditcameaboutthroughmy
prayer that grace was given to me from the Lord Sabaoth by Michael his
archangel.Hebroughtmealittlering,havingasealconsistingofanengraved
stone,andsaidtome:"Take,OSolomon,king,sonofDavid,thegiftwhichthe
Lord God has sent thee, the highest Sabaoth. With it thou shalt lock up all
demonsoftheearth,male andfemale;andwiththeirhelpthou shaltbuildup
Jerusalem.ButthoumustwearthissealofGod.Andthisengravingoftheseal
oftheringsenttheeisaPentalpha."
(APentalphaotherwiseknownasthesealofSolomon.)
6.AndISolomonwasoverjoyed,andpraisedandglorifiedtheGodofheaven
andearth.AndonthemorrowIcalledtheboy,andgavehimthering,andsaidto
him:"takethis,andatthehourinwhichthedemonshallcomeuntothee,throw
thisringatthechestofthedemon,andsaytohim:'InthenameofGod,King
Solomoncallstheehither.Andthendothoucomerunningtome,withouthaving
anymisgivingsorfearinrespectofaughtthoumayesthearonthepartofthe
demon."
7.Sothechildtookthering,andwentoff;andbehold,atthecustomaryhour
Ornias,thefiercedemon,camelikeaburningfiretotakethepayfromthechild.
Butthechildaccordingtotheinstructionsreceivedfromtheking,threwthering
atthechestofthedemon,andsaid:"KingSolomoncallstheehither."Andthen
hewentoffataruntotheking.Butthedemoncriedoutaloud,saying:"Child,
whyhastthoudonethistome?Taketheringoffme,andIwillrendertotheethe
gold of the earth. Only take this off me, and forbear to lead me away to
Solomon."
8.Butthechildsaidtothedemon:"AstheLordGodofIsraelliveth,Iwillnot
brookthee.Socomehither."Andthechildcameatarun,rejoicing,totheking,
andsaid:"Ihavebroughtthedemon,Oking,asthoudidstcommandme,Omy
master.Andbehold,hestandsbeforethegatesofthecourtofthypalace,crying
out,andsupplicatingwithaloudvoice;offeringmethesilverandgoldofthe
earthifIwillonlybringhimuntothee."
9.AndwhenSolomonheardthis,heroseupfromhisthrone,andwentoutside
into the vestibule of the court of his palace; and there he saw the demon,
shudderingandtrembling.Andhesaidtohim:"Whoartthou?"Andthedemon
answered:"IamcalledOrnias."
10.AndSolomonsaidtohim:"Tellme,Odemon,towhatzodiacalsignthouart
subject."Andheanswered:"TotheWater-pourer.Andthosewhoareconsumed
withdesireforthenoblevirginsuponearth,theseIstrangle.Butincasethereis
nodispositiontosleep,Iamchangedintothreeforms.Whenevermencometo
beenamouredofwomen,Imetamorphosemyselfintoacomelyfemale;andI
takeholdofthemenintheirsleep,andplaywiththem.AndafterawhileIagain
taketomywings,andhiemetotheheavenlyregions.Ialsoappearasalion,and
Iamcommandedbyallthedemons.IamfrustratedbythearchangelUriel,the
powerofGod."
11. I Solomon, having heard the name of the archangel, prayed and glorified
God,theLordofheavenandearth.AndIsealedthedemonandsethimtowork
atstone-cutting,sothathemightcutthestonesintheTemple,which,lyingalong
theshore,had been broughtbytheSeaofArabia. But he, fearfuloftheiron,
continuedandsaidtome:"Ipraythee,KingSolomon,letmegofree;andIwill
bring you all the demons." And as he was not willing to be subject to me, I
prayedthearchangelUrieltocomeandsuccourme;andIforthwithbeheldthe
archangelUrielcomingdowntomefromtheheavens.
12.Andtheangelbadethewhalesoftheseacomeoutoftheabyss.Andhecast
his destiny upon the ground, and that destiny made subject to him the great
demon.AndhecommandedthegreatdemonandboldOrnias,tocutstonesat
theTemple.AndaccordinglyISolomonglorifiedtheGodofheavenandMaker
oftheearth.AndhebadeOrniascomewithhisdestiny,andgavehimtheseal,
saying:"Awaywiththee,andbringmehithertheprinceofallthedemons."
13.SoOrniastookthefinger-ring,andwentofftoBeelzeboul,whohaskingship
overthedemons.Hesaidtohim:"Hither!Solomoncallsthee."ButBeelzeboul,
havingheard,saidtohim:"Tellme,whoisthisSolomonofwhomthouspeakest
tome?"ThenOrniasthrewtheringatthechestofBeelzeboul,saying:"Solomon
thekingcallsthee."ButBeelzeboulcriedaloudwithamightyvoice,andshot
outagreatburningflameoffire;andhearose,andfollowedOrnias,andcameto
Solomon.
14.AndwhenIsawtheprinceofdemons,IglorifiedtheLordGod,Makerof
heavenandearth,andIsaid:"Blessedartthou,LordGodAlmighty,whohast
given to Solomon thy servant wisdom, the assessor of the wise, and hast
subjecteduntomeallthepowerofthedevils."
15.AndIquestionedhim,andsaid:"Whoartthou?"Thedemonreplied:"Iam
Beelzebub,theexarchofthedemons.Andallthedemonshavetheirchiefseats
closetome.AndIitiswhomakemanifesttheapparitionofeachdemon."And
hepromisedtobringtomeinbondsalltheuncleanspirits.AndIagainglorified
theGodofheavenandearth,asIdoalwaysgivethankstohim.
16.Ithenaskedofthedemoniftherewerefemalesamongthem.Andwhenhe
toldmethattherewere,IsaidthatIdesiredtoseethem.SoBeelzeboulwentoff
athighspeed,andbroughtuntomeOnoskelis,thathadaveryprettyshape,and
theskinofafairhuedwoman;andshetossedherhead.
17.Andwhenshewascome,Isaidtoher:"Tellmewhoartthou?"Butshesaid
tome:"IamcalledOnoskelis,aspiritwhichhasbeenmadeintoabody,lurking
upontheearth.ThereisagoldencavewhereIlie.ButIhaveaplacethatever
shifts. At one time I strangle men with a noose; at another, I creep up and
preventthemfromtheirtruenatures.Butmymostfrequentdwelling-placesare
theprecipices,caves,andravines.Oftentimes,however,doIconsortwithmenin
thesemblance of awoman,and above allwiththose of adarkskin. For they
sharemystarwithme;sincetheyitiswhoprivilyoropenlyworshipmystar,
without knowing that they harm themselves, and but whet my appetite for
furthermischief.Fortheywishtoprovidemoneybymeansofrememberingme,
butIsupplyalittletothosewhoworshipmefairly."
18.AndISolomonquestionedheraboutherbirth,andshereplied:"Iwasborn
ofavoiceuntimely,theso-calledechoofaman'sorduredroppedinawood."
19.AndIsaidtoher:"Underwhatstardostthoupass?"Andsheansweredme:
"Underthestarofthefullmoon,forthereasonthatthemoontravelsovermost
things."ThenIsaidtoher:"Andwhatangelisitthatfrustratesthee?"Andshe
saidtome:"Hethatintheeisreigning."AndIthoughtthatshemockedme,and
badeasoldierstrikeher.Butshecriedaloud,andsaid:"Iamsubjectedtothee,O
king,bythewisdomofGodgiventothee,andbytheangelJoel."
20.SoIcommandedhertospinthehempfortheropesusedinthebuildingof
thehouseofGod;andaccordingly,whenIhadsealedandboundher,shewasso
overcomeandbroughttonaughtastostandnightanddayspinningthehemp.
21. And I at once bade anotherdemon tobe ledunto me;and instantly there
approachedmethedemonAsmodeus,bound,andIaskedhim:"Whoartthou?''
Butheshotonmeaglanceofangerandrage,andsaid:"Andwhoartthou?"
AndIsaidtohim:"Thuspunishedasthouart,answerestthoumenot?"Buthe,
withrage,saidtome:"ButhowshallIanswerthee,forthouartasonofman;
whereasIwasbornofanangel'sseedbyadaughterofman,sothatnowordof

alsomystarisbrightinheaven,andmencallit,sometheWain,andsomethe

22.AndISolomon,onhearingthis,boundhimmorecarefully,andorderedhim
tobefloggedwiththongsofox-hide,andtotellmehumblywhatwashisname
andofhisbusiness.Andheansweredmethus:"IamcalledAsmodeusamong
mortals,andmybusinessistoplotagainstthenewlywedded,sothattheymay
notknowoneanother.AndIseverthemutterlybymanycalamities,andIwaste
awaythebeautyofvirginwomen,andestrangetheirhearts."
23. And I said to him: "Is this thy only business?" And he answered me: "I
transport men into fits of madness and desire, when they have wives of their
own,sothattheyleavethem,andgooffbynightanddaytoothersthatbelongto
othermen;withtheresultthattheycommitsin,andfallintomurderousdeeds."
24. And I adjured him by the name of the Lord Sabaôth, saying: "Fear God,
Asmodeus, and tell me by what angel thou art frustrated." But he said: "By
Raphael,thearchangelthatstandsbeforethethroneofGod.Buttheliverand
gallofafishputmetoflight,whensmokedoverashesofthetamarisk."Iagain
askedhim,andsaid:"Hidenotaughtfromme.ForIamSolomon,sonofDavid,
King of Israel. Tell me the name of the fish which thou reverest." And he
answered: "It is the glanos by name, and is found in the rivers of Assyria;
whereforeitisthatIroamaboutinthoseparts."
25.AndIsaidtohim:"Hastthounothingelseaboutthee,Asmodeus?"Andhe
answered: "The power of God knoweth, which hath bound me with the
indissolublebondsofyonderone'sseal,thatwhateverIhavetoldtheeistrue.I
praythee,KingSolomon,condemnmenottogointowater."ButIsmiled,and
saidtohim:"AstheLordGodofmy fathers liveth,Iwilllayironontheeto

carrywaterin.Andthedemongroanedterribly,anddidtheworkIorderedhim
todo.AndthisIdid,becausethatfiercedemonAsmodeuskneweventhefuture.
And I Solomon glorified God, who gave wisdomto meSolomon hisservant.
AndtheliverofthefishanditsgallIhungonthespikeofareed,andburnedit
overAsmodeusbecauseofhisbeingsostrong,andhis unbearablemalicewas
thusfrustrated.
26.AndIsummonedagaintostandbeforemeBeelzeboul,theprinceofdemons,
andIsathimdownonaraisedseatofhonour,andsaidtohim:"Whyartthou
alone,princeofthedemons?"Andhesaidtome:"BecauseIaloneamleftofthe
angelsofheaventhatcamedown.ForIwasfirstangelinthefirstheavenbeing
entitledBeelzeboul.AndnowIcontrolallthosewhoareboundinTartarus.ButI
toohaveachild,andhehauntstheRedSea.Andonanysuitableoccasionhe

andwhenheisready,hewillcomeintriumph.
27.I Solomon saiduntohim: "Beelzeboul, whatisthy employment?" And he
answeredme:"Idestroykings.Ibringdestructionbymeansoftyrants.Andmy

bring about jealousies and murders in a country, and I instigate wars. I will
destroytheworld."
28.SoIsaidtohim:"Bringtomethychild,whois,asthousayest,intheRed
Sea."Buthesaidtome:"Iwillnotbringhimtothee.Butthereshallcometome
anotherdemoncalledEphippas.HimwillIbind,andhewillbringhimupfrom

willtelltheeopenly."SoIsaidtohim:"Tellmeinwhichstaryoureside."To
whichheanswered,"TheonecalledbymentheEveningStar."
29.Isaidtohim:"Tellmebywhatangelthouartfrustrated."Andheanswered:
"BytheholyandpreciousnameoftheAlmightyGod,calledbytheHebrewsby
a row of numbers, of which the sum is 644, and among the Greeks it is
Emmanuel.AndifoneoftheRomansadjuremebythegreatnameofthepower
Eleéth,Idisappearatonce."
30.ISolomonwasastoundedwhenIheardthis;andIorderedhimtosawup
Thebanmarbles.Andwhenhebegantosawthemarbles,theotherdemonscried
outwithaloudvoice,howlingbecauseoftheirkingBeelzeboulwasalsosubject
tothepowertheMostHighhadgivenmeoverhim.
31. But I Solomon questioned him, saying: "If thou wouldst gain a respite,
discoursetomeaboutthethingsinheaven."AndBeelzeboulsaid:"Hear,Oking,
ifthouburngum,andincense,andbulbofthesea1,withnardandsaffron,and

dragons,howtheywindthemselvesalonganddragthechariotofthesun."
32.AndISolomon,havingheardthis,rebukedhim,andsaid:"Silenceforthis
present time, and continue to saw the marbles as I commanded thee." And I
SolomonpraisedGod,andcommandedanotherdemontopresenthimselftome.
Andonecamebeforemewhocarriedhisfacehighupintheair,buttherestof
thespirit curled away likeasnail. And itbrokethroughthe few soldiers,and
raisedalsoaterribledustontheground,andcarrieditupwards;andthenagain
hurleditbacktofrightenus,andaskedwhatquestionsIcouldaskasarule.And
Istoodup,andspatonthegroundinthatspot,andsealedthedemonwiththe
ring of God. And forthwith the dustwind stopped. Then I asked him, saying:
"Whoartthou,Owind?"Thenheoncemoreshookupadust,andansweredme:
"Whatwouldstthouhave,KingSolomon?"Iansweredhim:"Tellmewhatthou
artcalled,andIwouldfainasktheeaquestion.ButsofarIgivethankstoGod
whohasmademewisetoansweryourevilplots."
33.But[thedemon]answeredme:"Iamthespiritoftheashes(Tephras)."AndI
saidtohim:"Whatisthypursuit?"Andhesaid:"Ibringdarknessonmen,and
set fire to fields; and I bring homesteads to naught. But most busy am I in
summer.However,whenIgetanopportunity,Icreepintocornersofthewall,by
night and day. For I am offspring of the great one, and nothing less."
AccordinglyIsaidtohim:"Underwhatstardostthoulie?"Andheanswered:
"Intheverytipofthemoon'shorn,whenitisfoundinthesouth.Thereismy
star.ForIhavebeenbiddentorestraintheconvulsionsofthehemitertianfever;
andthisiswhymanymenpraytothehemitertianfever,usingthesethreenames:
Bultala,Thallal,Melchal.AndIhealthem."AndIsaidtohim:"IamSolomon;
whenthereforethouwouldstdoharm,bywhoseaiddostthoudoit?"Buthesaid
tome:"Bytheangel's,bywhomalsothethirdday'sfeverislulledtorest."SoI
questionedhim,andsaid:"Andbywhatname?"Andheanswered:"Thatofthe
archangelAzael."AndIsummonedthearchangelAzael,andsetasealonthe
demon, and commanded him to seize great stones, and toss them up to the
workmenonthehigherpartsoftheTemple.And,beingcompelled,thedemon
begantodowhathewasbiddentodo.
34.AndIglorifiedGodafreshwhogavemethisauthority,andorderedanother
demon to come before me. And there cameseven spirits,females, boundand
woven together, fair in appearance and comely. And I Solomon, seeing them,
questionedthemandsaid:"Whoareye?"Butthey,withoneaccord,saidwith
one voice: "We are of the thirty-three elements of the cosmic ruler of the
darkness."Andthefirstsaid:"IamDeception."Thesecondsaid:"IamStrife."
The third: "I am Klothod, which is battle." The fourth: "I am Jealousy." The
fifth:"IamPower."Thesixth:"IamError."Theseventh:"Iamtheworstofall,
andourstarsareinheaven.Sevenstarshumbleinsheen,andalltogether.And
wearecalledasitwereGoddesses.Wechangeourplaceallandtogether,and
togetherwe live,sometimesin Lydia, sometimesinOlympus, sometimesina
greatmountain."
35. So I Solomon questioned them one by one, beginning with the first, and
goingdowntotheseventh.Thefirstsaid:"IamDeception,Ideceiveandweave
snares here and there. I whet and excite heresies. But I have an angel who
frustratesme,Lamechalal."
36.Likewisealsothesecondsaid:"IamStrife,strifeofstrifes.Ibringtimbers,
stones,hangers,myweaponsonthespot.ButIhaveanangelwhofrustratesme,
Baruchiachel."
37. Likewise also the third said: "I am called Klothod, which is Battle, and I
causethewellbehavedtoscatterandfallfouloneoftheother.AndwhydoIsay
somuch?Ihaveanangelthatfrustratesme:"Marmarath."
38. Likewise also the fourth said: "I cause men to forget their sobriety and
moderation.Ipartthemandsplitthemintoparties;forStrifefollowsmehandin
hand.Irendthehusbandfromthesharerofhisbed,andchildrenfromparents,
andbrothersfromsisters.Butwhytellsomuchtomydespite?Ihaveanangel
thatfrustratesme,thegreatBalthial."
39.Likewisealsothefifthsaid:"IamPower.BypowerIraiseuptyrantsand
teardownkings.ToallrebelsIfurnishpower.Ihaveanangelthatfrustratesme,
Asteraôth."
40.Likewisealsothesixthsaid:"IamError,OKingSolomon.AndIwillmake
theetoerr,asIhavebeforemadetheetoerr,whenIcausedtheetoslaythyown
brother.Iwillleadyouintoerror,soastopryintograves;andIteachthemthat
dig,andIleaderrantsoulsawayfromallpiety,andmanyothereviltraitsare
mine.ButIhaveanangelthatfrustratesme,Uriel."
41.Likewisealsotheseventhsaid:"Iamtheworst,andImaketheeworseoff
thanthouwast;becauseIwillimposethebondsofArtemis.Butthelocustwill
setmefree,forbymeansthereofisitfatedthatthoushaltachievemydesire.For
ifonewerewise,hewouldnotturnhisstepstowardme."
42.SoISolomon,havingheardandwondered,sealedthemwithmyring;and
sincetheyweresoconsiderable,IbadethemdigthefoundationsoftheTemple
ofGod.Forthelengthofitwas250cubits.AndIbadethembeindustrious,and
withonemurmurofjointprotesttheybegantoperformthetasksenjoined.
43.ButISolomonglorifiedtheLord,andbadeanotherdemoncomebeforeme.
Andtherewasbroughttomeademonhavingallthelimbsofaman,butwithout
a head. And I, seeing him, said to him: "Tell me, who art thou?" And he
answered:"Iamademon."SoIsaidtohim:"Which?"Andheansweredme:"I
am called Envy. For I delight to devour heads, being desirous to secure for
myselfahead;butIdonoteatenough,butamanxioustohavesuchaheadas
thouhast."
44.ISolomon,onhearingthis,sealedhim,stretchingoutmyhandagainsthis
chest.Whereonthedemonleaptup,andthrewhimselfdown,andgaveagroan,
saying:"Woeisme!WhereamIcometo?OtraitorOrnias,Icannotsee!"SoI
saidtohim:"IamSolomon.Tellmethenhowthoudostmanagetosee!"Andhe
answered me: "By means of my feelings." I then, Solomon, having heard his
voicecomeuptome,askedhimhowhemanagedtospeak.Andheanswered
me: "I, O King Solomon,am whollyvoice, for I have inheritedthe voicesof
manymen.Forinthecaseofallmenwhoarecalleddumb,Iitiswhosmashed
their heads, when they were children and had reached their eighth day. Then
whenachildiscryinginthenight,Ibecomeaspirit,andglidebymeansofhis
voice.InthecrosswaysalsoIhavemanyservicestorender,andmyencounteris
fraughtwithharm.ForIgraspinallinstantsaman'shead,andwithmyhands,as
withasword,Icutitoff,andputitontomyself.Andinthisway,bymeansof
thefirewhichisinme,throughmyneckitisswallowedup.Iitisthatsends
gravemutilationsandincurablesonmen'sfeet,andinflictsores."
45. And I Solomon, on hearing this, said to him: "Tell me how thou dost
dischargeforththefire?Outofwhatsourcesdostthouemitit?"Andthespirit
saidtome:"FromtheDay-star.ForherehathnotyetbeenfoundthatElburion,
towhommenofferprayersandkindlelights.Andhisnameisinvokedbythe
sevendemonsbeforeme.Andhecherishesthem."
46.ButIsaidtohim:"Tellmehisname."Butheanswered:"Icannottellthee.
ForifItellhisname,Irendermyselfincurable.Buthewillcomeinresponseto
hisname."Andonhearingthis,ISolomonsaidtohim:"Tellmethen,bywhat
angelthouartfrustrated?"Andheanswered:"Bythefieryflashoflightning."
AndIbowedmyselfbeforetheLordGodofIsrael,andbadehimremaininthe
keepingofBeelzebouluntiltheangelIaxshouldcome.
47.ThenIorderedanotherdemontocomebeforeme,andtherecameintomy
presenceahound,havingaverylargeshape,anditspokewithaloudvoice,and
said,"Hail,Lord,KingSolomon!"AndISolomonwasastounded.Isaidtoit:
Whoartthou,Ohound?"Anditanswered:"Idoindeedseemtotheetobea
hound,butbeforethouwast,OKingSolomon,Iwasamanthatwroughtmany
unholydeedsonearth.Iwassurpassinglylearnedinletters,andwassomighty
thatIcouldholdthestarsofheavenback.AndmanydivineworksdidIprepare.
ForIdoharmtomenwhofollowafterourstar,andchangethemto.AndIseize
thefrenziedmenbythelarynx,andsodestroythem."
48.AndISolomonsaidtohim:"Whatisthyname?"Andheanswered:"Staff"
(Rabdos).AndIsaidtohim:"Whatisthineemployment?Andwhatresultscanst
thouachieve?"Andhereplied:"Givemethyservant,andIwillleadhimaway
intoamountainousspot,andwillshowhimagreenstonetossedtoandfro,with
whichthoumayestadornthetempleoftheLordGod."
49.AndISolomon,onhearingthis,orderedmyservanttosetoffwithhim,and
to take the finger-ring bearing the seal of God with him. And I said to him:
"Whoevershallshowtheethegreenstone,sealhimwiththisfinger-ring.And
mark the spot with care, and bring me the demon hither." And the demon
showedhimthegreenstone,andhesealedit,andbroughtthedemontome.And
I Solomon decided to confine with my seal on my right hand the two, the
headlessdemon,likewisethehound,thatwassohuge;heshouldbeboundas
well.And I bade thehoundkeepsafe the fieryspiritsothat lamps as itwere
mightbydayandnightcasttheirlightthroughitsmawontheartisansatwork.
50.AndISolomontookfromthemineofthatstone200shekelsforthesupports
of the table of incense, which was similar in appearance. And I Solomon
glorifiedtheLordGod,andthenclosedroundthetreasureofthatstone.AndI
ordered afresh the demons to cut marble for the construction of the house of
God.AndISolomonprayedtotheLord,andaskedthehound,saying:"Bywhat
angelartthoufrustrated?"Andthedemonreplied:"BythegreatBrieus."
51.AndIpraisedtheLordGodofheavenandearth,andbadeanotherdemon
comeforwardtome;andtherecamebeforemeoneintheformofaroaringlion.
Andhestoodandansweredmesaying:"Oking,intheformwhichIhave,Iama

artthoutobefrustratedalongwiththylegions?Whatangelisitthatfrustrates
thee?"Andheanswered:"IfItelltheethename,Ibindnotmyselfalone,but
alsothelegionsofdemonsunderme."
52.SoIsaidtohim:"IadjuretheeinthenameoftheGodSabaoth,totellmeby
whatnamethouartfrustratedalongwiththyhost."Andthespiritansweredme:
"The 'Son of Man,'who is to suffer many thingsat thehands of men, whose

willthencomeandplungeusfromthesteep,underwater.Heisnoisedabroadin
thethreeletterswhichbringhimdown."
53.AndISolomon,onhearingthis,glorifiedGod,andcondemnedhislegionto
carrywoodfromthethicket.AndIcondemnedthelion-shapedonehimselfto
sawupthewoodsmallwithhisteeth,forburningintheunquenchablefurnace
fortheTempleofGod.
54. And I worshippedthe LordGod of Israel, and bade another demon come
forward.Andtherecamebeforemeadragon,three-headed,offearfulhue.AndI
questioned him: "Who art thou?" And he answered me: "I am a caltrop-like

Solomonsentmyservant,andfoundittobeasthedemontoldme.AndIsealed
himwithmyring,andpraisedtheLordGod."
56.SoIsaidtohim:"Whatartthoucalled?"Andthedemonsaid:"Iamthecrest
ofdragons."AndIbadehimmakebricksintheTemple.Hehadhumanhands.
57. And I adored the Lord God of Israel, and bade another demon present
himself.And there camebeforemea spirit in woman'sform,that had a head
without any limbs,and herhair wasdishevelled. And I said toher: "Whoart

58.AndISolomondidassheenjoinedme,andrestrainedmyselfbecauseofthe
wisdomdwellinginme;inorderthatImighthearofherdeeds,andreprehend
them,andmanifestthemtomen.AndIsatdown,andsaidtothedemon:"What
artthou?"Andshe said:"IamcalledamongmenObizuth(ThisisLilith self-
identifying byone of her many names.); and by night I sleep not, but go my

ruinoftheirminds,andpainingoftheirbodies."
59.WhenISolomonheardthis,Imarvelledatherappearance,forIbeheldall
herbodytobeindarkness.Butherglancewasaltogetherbrightandgreeny,and
her hair was tossed wildly like a dragon's; and the whole of her limbs were
invisible.Andhervoicewasveryclearasitcametome.AndIcunninglysaid:
"Tellmebywhatangelthouartfrustrated,Oevilspirit?"Bysheansweredme:
"BytheangelofGodcalledAfarôt,whichisinterpretedRaphael,bywhomIam

thenumberis640."AndISolomonhavingheardthis,andhavingglorifiedthe
Lord,orderedherhairtobebound,andthatsheshouldbehungupinfrontofthe
TempleofGod;thatallthechildrenofIsrael,astheypassed,mightseeit,and
glorifytheLordGodofIsrael,whohadgivenmethisauthority,withwisdom
andpowerfromGod,bymeansofthissignet.
60.AndIagainorderedanotherdemontocomebeforeme.Anditcame,rolling
itselfalong,oneinappearanceliketoadragon,buthavingthefaceandhandsof
a man. And all its limbs, except the feet, were those of a dragon; and it had
wingsonitsback.AndwhenIbeheldit,Iwasastonished,andsaid:"Whoart
thou,demon,andwhatartthoucalled?Andwhencehastthoucome?Tellme."
61.Andthespiritansweredandsaid:"ThisisthefirsttimeIhavestoodbefore
thee, O King Solomon. I am a spirit made into a god among men, but now

AndsheonwhomIhaveleaptgoesheavywithchild,andthatwhichisbornof

thematerialofthelogswhichistobecollectedbythemforthebuildinginthe
Temple."
62.Andasthedemonsaidthis,Isawthespiritgoingforthfromhismouth,and
itconsumedthewoodofthefrankincense-tree,andburnedupallthelogswhich
wehadplacedintheTempleofGod.AndISolomon saw whatthespirithad
done,andImarvelled.
63.And,havingglorifiedGod,Iaskedthedragon-shapeddemon,andsaid:"Tell
me,bywhatangelartthoufrustrated?"Andheanswered:"Bythegreatangel
whichhasitsseatinthesecondheaven,whichiscalledinHebrew,Bazazeth.
And I Solomon, having heard this, and having invoked his angel, condemned
himtosawupmarblesforthebuildingoftheTempleofGod;andIpraisedGod,
andcommandedanotherdemontocomebeforeme.
64. Andthere camebefore my face another spirit, as itwere a woman in the
formshehad.Butonhershouldersshehadtwootherheadswithhands.AndI
asked her, and said: "Tell me, who art thou?" And she said to me: "I am
Enêpsigos,whoalsohaveamyriadnames."AndIsaidher:"Bywhatangelart
thoufrustrated?"Butshesaidtome:"Whatseekest,whataskestthou?Iundergo
changes, like the goddess I am called. And I change again, and pass into

theniswhyIspeaktothee.Yondertemplecannotcontainme."
65.IthereforeSolomonprayed tomyGod,andIinvokedtheangel ofwhom
Enépsigosspoketome,andusedmyseal.AndIsealedherwithatriplechain,

thespiritprophesiedtome,saying:"Thisiswhatthou,KingSolomon,doestto

66.AndISolomon,havingheardthis,glorifiedGod.AndthoughImarvelledat
theprophecyofthedemon,Ididnotcreditituntilitcametrue.AndIdidnot
believetheirwords;butwhentheywererealized,thenIunderstood,andatmy
deathIwrotethisTestamenttothechildrenofIsrael,andgaveittothem,sothat
theymightknowthepowersofthedemonsandtheirshapes,andthenamesof
theirangels,bywhichtheseangelsarefrustrated.AndIglorifiedtheLordGod
ofIsrael,andcommandedthespiritstobeboundwithbondsindissoluble.
67. And havingpraised God, I commanded anotherspirit to comebefore me;
andtherecamebeforemyfaceanotherdemon,havinginfronttheshapeofa
horse,butthebehindofafish.Andhehadamightyvoice,andsaidtome:"O

ForItakethemen,andwhirlthemroundwithmyself,andhurlthemenoutof

68. "But I also have another character and role. I metamorphose myself into

nowtormentme.Beholdnow,intwoorthreedaysthespiritthatconversethwith

69. And I said to him: "Tell me by what angel thou art frustrated." And he
answered: "By Iameth." And I glorified God. I commanded the spirit to be

70.Andtherecamebeforemyfaceanotherenslavedspirit,havingobscurelythe

"Tellmewhatthouartemployeduponearth,andwherethouhastthydwelling."
71.Andhesaid:"Mydwellingisinfruitfulplaces,butmyprocedureisthis.I

Isaidtohim:"DothouthenbeinfearoftheGodofheavenandofearth,andtell

this,andhavingglorifiedtheLordGod,shutupthisdemonliketherest.
72. And I commanded another demon to come before me. And there came

askedthemandsaid:"Whoareyou?"Butthey,ofoneaccordwithonevoice,
said1:"Wearethethirty-sixelements,theworld-rulersofthis darkness.(Eph.

73.ThenISolomoninvokedthenameoftheLordSabaoth,andquestionedeach

sheglorifiedtheGodofIsrael,andshemadeformaltrialofallmywisdom,of
alldisciplinesinwhichIinstructedher,accordingtothewisdomimpartedtome.
AndallthesonsofIsraelglorifiedGod.
110. And behold, in those days one of the workmen, of ripe old age, threw
himselfdownbeforeme,andsaid:"KingSolomon,pityme,becauseIamold."
So I bade him stand up, and said: "Tell me, old man, all you will." And he
answered:"Ibeseechyouking,Ihaveanonly-bornson,andheinsultsandbeats
meopenly,andplucksoutthehairofmyhead,andthreatensmewithapainful
death.ThereforeIbeseechyouavengeme."
111.AndISolomon,onhearingthis,feltcompunctionasIlookedathisoldage;
andIbadethechildbebroughttome.AndwhenhewasbroughtIquestioned
himwhetheritweretrue.Andtheyouthsaid:"Iwasnotsofilledwithmadness
astostrikemyfatherwithmyhand.Bekindtome,Oking.ForIhavenotdared
tocommitsuchimpiety,poorwretchthatIam."ButISolomononhearingthis
from the youth, exhorted the old man to reflect on the matter, and accept his
son'sapology.However,hewouldnot,butsaidhewouldratherlethimdie.And
astheoldmanwouldnotyield,Iwasabouttopronouncesentenceontheyouth,
when I saw Ornias the demon laughing. I was very angry at the demon's
laughinginmypresence;andIorderedmymentoremovetheotherparties,and
bringforwardOrniasbeforemytribunal.Andwhenhewasbroughtbeforeme,I
said to him: "Accursed one, why didst thou look at me and laugh?" And the
demon answered: "Prithee, king, it was not because of thee I laughed, but
because of this ill-starred old man and the wretched youth, his son. For after
threedayshissonwilldieuntimely;andlo,theoldmandesirestofoullymake
awaywithhim."
112.ButISolomon,havingheardthis,saidtothedemon:"Isthattruethatthou
speakest?"Andheanswered:"Itistrue;Oking."AndI,onhearingthat,bade
themremovethedemon,andthattheyshouldagainbringbeforemetheoldman
withhisson.Ibadethemmakefriendswithoneanotheragain,andIsupplied
themwithfood.AndthenI toldtheoldmanafterthreedaysto bringhisson
againtomehere;"and,"saidI,"Iwillattendtohim."Andtheysalutedme,and
wenttheirway.
113.AndwhentheyweregoneIorderedOrniastobebroughtforward,andsaid
tohim:"Tellmehowyouknowthis!"andheanswered:"Wedemonsascendinto
the firmament of heaven, and fly about among the stars. And we hear the
sentenceswhich go forthupon the soulsof men, andforthwithwe come, and
whetherbyforceofinfluence,orbyfire,orbysword,orbysomeaccident,we

orbyviolence,thenwedemonstransformourselvesinsuchawayastoappear
tomenandbeworshippedinourhumannature."
114. I therefore, having heard this, glorified the Lord God, and again I
questionedthedemon,saying:"Tellmehowyecanascendintoheaven,being
demons,and amidst the starsandholy angels intermingle." Andheanswered:
"Justasthingsarefulfilledinheaven,soalsoonearththeyarefulfilledthetypes
of all of them. For there are principalities, authorities, world-rulers, and we
demonsflyaboutintheair;andwehearthevoicesoftheheavenlybeings,and
surveyallthepowers.Andashavingnoground(basis)onwhichtoalightand
rest, we lose strength and fall off like leaves from trees. And men seeing us
imaginethatthestarsarefallingfromheaven.Butitisnotreallyso,Oking;but
wefallbecauseofourweakness,andbecausewehavenowhereanythingtolay
holdof;andsowefalldownlikelightningsinthedepthofnightandsuddenly.
And we set cities in flames and fire the fields. For the stars have firm
foundationsintheheavenslikethesunandthemoon."
115.AndISolomon,havingheardthis,orderedthedemontobeguardedforfive
days.AndafterthefivedaysIrecalledtheoldman,andwasabouttoquestion
him.Buthecametomeingriefandwithblackface.AndIsaidtohim:"Tellme,
oldman,whereisthyson?Andwhatmeansthisgarb?"Andheanswered:"Lo,I
ambecomechildlessandsitbymyson'sgraveindespair.Foritisalreadytwo
days that he is dead." But I Solomon, on hearing that, and knowing that the
demonOrniashadtoldmethetruth,glorifiedtheGodofIsrael.
116.AndthequeenoftheSouthsawallthis,andmarvelledbyglorifyingthe
GodofIsrael;andshebeheldtheTempleoftheLordbeingbuilt.Andshegavea
shekel of goldand onehundred myriads of silver andchoice bronze, and she
went into the Temple. And she beheld the altar of incense and the brazen
supportsofthisaltar,andthegemsofthelampsflashingforthofdifferentcolors,
andofthelamp-standofstone,andofemerald,andhyacinth,andsapphire;and
shebeheldthevesselsofgold,andsilver,andbronze,andwood,andthefoldsof
skinsdyedredwithmadder.AndshesawthebasesofthepillarsoftheTemple
oftheLord.Allwereofonegold(Manuscripttoobadlydamagedtoread)apart
fromthedemonswhomIcondemnedtolaborthereon.Andtherewaspeacein
thecircleofmykingdomandoveralltheearth.
117.Anditcametopass,whichIwasinmykingdom,theKingoftheArabians,
Adares,sentmealetter,andthewritingoftheletterwaswrittenasfollows:
"ToKingSolomon,allhail!Lo,wehaveheard,andithathbeenheardunto

And no spirit can live upon earth against this demon. I pray thee then,

118.AndISolomonreadthisepistle;andIfoldeditupandgaveittomypeople,
andsaidtothem:"Aftersevendaysshaltthouremindmeofthisepistle.And

119. And after seven days, being reminded of the epistle of Adares, King of

ring,andlayitcarefullyonthecamelandbringitmehither.Andifonthewayit
offertheegoldorsilverortreasureinreturnforlettingitgo,seethatthoubenot

totheplaceswherearegoldorsilver,marktheplacesandsealthemwiththis
seal.Andbringthedemontome.Andnowdepart,andfaretheewell."
120.Thentheyouthdidaswasbiddenhim.Andheorderedhiscamel,andlaid
on it a flask, and set off into Arabia. And the men of that region would not
believethathewouldbeabletocatchtheevilspirit.Andwhenitwasdawn,the
servantstoodbeforethespirit'sblast,andlaidtheflaskontheground,andthe
finger-ringonthemouthoftheflask.Andthedemonblewthroughthemiddleof
thefinger-ringintothemouthoftheflask,andgoinginblewouttheflask.But
themanpromptlystooduptoitanddrewtightwithhishandthemouthofthe
flask,inthenameoftheLordGodofSabaôth.Andthedemonremainedwithin
theflask.Andafterthattheyouthremainedinthatlandthreedaystomaketrial.
Andthespiritnolongerblewagainstthatcity.AndalltheArabsknewthathe
hadsafelyshutinthespirit.
121. Then the youth fastened the flask on the camel, and the Arabs sent him
forthonhiswaywithmuchhonorandpreciousgifts,praisingandmagnifying
theGodofIsrael.Buttheyouthbroughtinthebagandlaiditinthemiddleof
theTemple.Andonthenextday,IKingSolomon,wentintotheTempleofGod
and sat indeep distress aboutthe stoneof the endof thecorner. And whenI
enteredtheTemple,theflaskstoodupandwalkedaroundsomesevenstepsand
thenfellonitsmouthandpaidhomagetome.AndImarvelledthatevenalong
with the bottle the demon still had power and could walk about; and I
commandedittostandup.Andtheflaskstoodup,andstoodonitsfeetallblown
out.AndIquestionedhim,saying:"Tellme,whoartthou?"Andthespiritwithin
said:"IamthedemoncalledEphippas,thatisinArabia."AndIsaidtohim:"Is
thisthyname?"Andheanswered:"Yes;wheresoeverIwill,Ialightandsetfire
anddotodeath."
122.AndIsaidtohim:"Bywhatangelartthoufrustrated?"Andheanswered:
"Bytheonly-rulingGod,thathathauthorityovermeeventobeheard.Hethatis
tobebornofavirginandcrucifiedbytheJewsonacross.Whomtheangelsand
archangelsworship.Hedothfrustrateme,andenfeeblemeofmygreatstrength,
whichhasbeengivenmebymyfatherSatan."AndIsaidtohim:"Whatcanst
thoudo?''Andheanswered:"Iamabletoremovemountains,tooverthrowthe
oathsofkings.Iwithertreesandmaketheirleavesfalloff."AndIsaidtohim:
"Canst thou raisethis stone,and layit for the beginning ofthis cornerwhich
existsinthefairplanoftheTemple?"Andhesaid:"Notonlyraisethis,Oking;
butalso,withthehelpofthedemonwhopresidesovertheRedSea,Iwillbring
upthepillarofair,andwillstanditwherethouwiltinJerusalem."
123.Sayingthis,Ilaidstressonhim,andtheflaskbecameasifdepletedofair.
AndIplaceditunderthestone,andthespiritgirdedhimselfup,andlifteditup
topoftheflask.Andtheflaskwentupthesteps,carryingthestone,andlaidit
downattheendoftheentranceoftheTemple.AndISolomon,beholdingthe
stone raised aloft and placed on a foundation, said: "Truly the Scripture is
fulfilled,whichsays:'Thestonewhichthebuildersrejectedontrial,thatsameis
becometheheadofthecorner.'Forthisitisnotminetogrant,butGod's,thatthe
demonshouldbestrongenoughtoliftupsogreatastoneanddeposititinthe
placeIwished."
124.AndEphippasledthedemonoftheRedSeawiththecolumn.Andthey
bothtookthecolumnand raiseditaloftfromtheearth.And Ioutwittedthese
twospirits,sothat theycouldnotshaketheentireearthinamomentof time.
And then I sealed round with my signet ring on this side and that, and said:
"Watch!"Andthespiritshaveremainedupholdingituntilthisday,forproofof
thewisdom entrusted untome.And there thepillarwas hanging ofenormous
size, in mid air, supported by the winds. And thus the spirits appeared
underneath,likeair,supportingit.Andifonelooksfixedly,thepillarisalittle
oblique,beingsupportedbythespirits;anditissotoday.
125.AndISolomonquestionedtheotherspiritwhichcameupwiththepillar
fromthedepthoftheRedSea.AndIsaidtohim:"Whoartthou,andwhatcalls
thee?And what isthybusiness?For I hearmanythingsabout thee." Andthe
demonanswered:"I,OKingSolomon,amcalledAbezithibod.Iamadescendant
of the archangel. Once as I sat in the first heaven, of which the name is
Ameleouth -- I then am a fierce spirit and winged, and with a single wing,
plotting against everyspirit under heaven.I waspresent when Moseswent in
beforePharaoh,kingofEgypt,andIhardenedhisheart.IamhewhomIannes
andIambresinvokedhomingwithMosesinEgypt.Iamhewhofoughtagainst
Moseswithwonderswithsigns."
126.Isaid therefore to him:"Howwastthoufound in the RedSea?"Andhe
answered:"IntheexodusofthesonsofIsraelIhardenedtheheartofPharaoh.
AndIexcitedhisheartandthatofhisministers.AndIcausedthemtopursue
afterthechildrenofIsrael.AndPharaohfollowedwithmeandalltheEgyptians.
ThenIwaspresentthere,andwefollowedtogether.Andweallcameupupon
theRedSea.AnditcametopasswhenthechildrenofIsraelhadcrossedover,
thewaterreturnedandcrushedallthehostoftheEgyptiansandalltheirmight.
And I remained in the sea, being kept under this pillar. But when Ephippas
came,beingsentbythee,shutupinthevesselofaflask,hefetchedmeupto
thee."
127. I, therefore, Solomon, having heard this, glorified God and adjured the
demonsnottodisobeyme,buttoremainsupportingthe pillar. And they both
sworeanoath,saying:"AstheLordthyGodliveth,wewillnotletgothispillar
until the world's end. But on whatever day this stone fall, then shall be the
beginningoftheendoftheworld."
128.AndISolomonglorifiedGod,andadornedtheTempleoftheLordwithall
fair-seeming.AndIwasgladinspiritinmykingdom,andtherewaspeaceinmy
days.AndItookwivesofmyownfromeveryland,whowerenumberless.AndI
marchedagainsttheJebusaeans,andthereIsawaJebusaean,daughterofaman:
andfellviolentlyinlovewithher,anddesiredtotakehertowifealongwithmy
other wives. And I said to their priests: "Give me the Sonmanites (i.e.
Shunammite)towife."(SongofSolomon6:13)ButthepriestsofMolochsaidto
me: "If thou lovest this maiden, go in and worship our gods, the great god
RaphanandthegodcalledMoloch."IthereforewasinfearofthegloryofGod,
anddidnotfollowtoworship.AndIsaidtothem:"Iwillnotworshipademon.
Whatisthisproposal,thatyecompelmetodosomuch?"Buttheysaid:"Itisto
bedoneaccordingtoourfathers."
129. And whenIanswered that Iwould on noaccountworship demons, they
told the maiden not to sleep with me until I complied and sacrificed to their
gods. I then was moved, but crafty Eros brought and laid by her for me five
grasshoppers,saying:"Takethesegrasshoppers,andcrushthemtogetherinthe
nameofthegodMoloch;andthenwillIsleepwithyou."AndthisIdid.Andat
oncetheSpiritofGoddepartedfromme,andIbecameweakaswellasfoolish
inmywords.AndafterthatIwasobligedbyhertobuildatempleofidolsto
Baal,andtoRapha,andtoMoloch,andtotheotherdemons.
130.Ithen,wretchthatIam,followedheradvice,andthegloryofGoddeparted
from me; and my spirit was darkened, and I became the sport of idols and
demons.WhereforeIwroteoutthisTestament,thatyewhogetpossessionofit
maypity,andattendtothelastthings,andnottothefirst.Sothatyemayfind
graceforeverandever.Amen.
CLOSINGSTATEMENTS/ANALYSIS
TheTestamentofSolomonisimportantforseveralreasons.Primarilybecauseit
dealswiththespiritsofthefallengiants.Yousee,sincethegiantswerebornof
thefallenangelsthroughwomen,theirspiritsweredifferenttothatofmen.
They,unlikemankind,doesn’tgotothegraveinrestawaitingaresurrectionand
judgment.Theycanroamtheearthastheywishoruntiltheyareimprisonedby
God.InthistestamentdidSolomonencounterthespiritsofthegiantswhich
furtheramplifiestheexistenceoftheirfallennature.That,evenafterthedeathof
thegiants,theystilllivedthroughotherbodiesandforms.
Withaclearhatredofmankind,aswasdemonstratedduringtheirfleshlylives,
sotoodotheycontinuecarryingouttheirvengeanceuponmankindaftertheir
fleshlybodiesexpired.Notbeingconfinedtoflesh,butabletoinhabitflesh,and
anyformofmatter-becametheirexistenceaftertheirdeaths.Disembodied
spiritstheywouldbecome.Asyou’veread,Solomonsummonedthemtocome
beforehim.AfterSolomon’sdeath,despitehisverynobleattempttosealupthe
vesselscontainingthedemons(spiritsofthegiants),didagroupofnineknights
findthem.TheKnightsoftheTemplar,orKnightsoftheTempleMount.They
namedthemselvesthisbecausetheyexcavatedSolomon’stemplefornearlya
decadebeforetheyfinallyfoundwhattheywerelookingfor:Solomon’sring,
andthevesselshehadsealedupthedemonsin.
AftertheknightshadreturnedtoEuropewiththeirfindsdidtheCatholicchurch
honorthemandgivethemrichesbeyondbelief.Theyinventedthemodernday
checkingsystemandbeganbankrollinganyonetheycould.Theyblackmailed
severallordswiththreatsofdemonicactivity,andevensometimesdeliveredon
theirpromises.Thisofcoursedidn’tgounnoticedandeventuallytheCatholic
churchhadthemburnedatthestakeforconsortingwiththedevil.Manyofthem
diedonFridaythe13thbutnotallofthemwereslaughtered.Theoneswho
escapedwouldlaterformFreemasonryandtheIlluminati.Andsothebookgoes,
youmaybethroughwiththepastbutthepastisn’tthroughwithyou.

Revelation11-KingJamesVersion(KJV)
1Andtherewasgivenmeareedlikeuntoarod:andtheangelstood,saying,
Rise,andmeasurethetempleofGod,andthealtar,andthemthatworship
therein.
2Butthecourtwhichiswithoutthetempleleaveout,andmeasureitnot;foritis
givenuntotheGentiles:andtheholycityshalltheytreadunderfootfortyand
twomonths.
3AndIwillgivepoweruntomytwowitnesses,andtheyshallprophesya
thousandtwohundredandthreescoredays,clothedinsackcloth.
4Thesearethetwoolivetrees,andthetwocandlesticksstandingbeforetheGod
oftheearth.
5Andifanymanwillhurtthem,fireproceedethoutoftheirmouth,and
devoureththeirenemies:andifanymanwillhurtthem,hemustinthismanner
bekilled.
6Thesehavepowertoshutheaven,thatitrainnotinthedaysoftheirprophecy:
andhavepoweroverwaterstoturnthemtoblood,andtosmitetheearthwith
allplagues,asoftenastheywill.
7Andwhentheyshallhavefinishedtheirtestimony,thebeastthatascendethout
ofthebottomlesspitshallmakewaragainstthem,andshallovercomethem,and
killthem.
8Andtheirdeadbodiesshalllieinthestreetofthegreatcity,whichspiritually
iscalledSodomandEgypt,wherealsoourLordwascrucified.
9Andtheyofthepeopleandkindredsandtonguesandnationsshallseetheir
deadbodiesthreedaysandanhalf,andshallnotsuffertheirdeadbodiestobe
putingraves.
10Andtheythatdwellupontheearthshallrejoiceoverthem,andmakemerry,
andshallsendgiftsonetoanother;becausethesetwoprophetstormentedthem
thatdweltontheearth.
11AndafterthreedaysandanhalfthespiritoflifefromGodenteredintothem,
andtheystoodupontheirfeet;andgreatfearfelluponthemwhichsawthem.
12Andtheyheardagreatvoicefromheavensayinguntothem,Comeuphither.
Andtheyascendeduptoheaveninacloud;andtheirenemiesbeheldthem.
13Andthesamehourwasthereagreatearthquake,andthetenthpartofthecity
