Enoch, a righteous man, who was with God, answered and spoke, while his eyes were open, and while he saw a holy vision in the heavens. This the angels showed me. 1:2From them I heard all things, and understood what I saw; that which will not take place in this generation, but in a generation which is to succeed | exist on the day of tribulation when all the wicked and impious shall be removed.1:2 And then answered and spoke Enoch, a just man, whose eyes were opened by God so that he saw a holy vision in the heavens, which the angels showed to me, and from them I heard everything, and I knew what I saw, but not for this generation, but for the far-off generations which are |
| 1:3 for to come. Concerning the elect I said, and took up my parable concerning them: The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling, | at a distant period, on account of the elect. 1:3Upon their account I spoke and conversed with him, who will go forth from his habitation, the Holy and Mighty One, | to come.1:3 Concerning the chosen I spoke and conversed concerning them with the Holy and Great One, who will come from his abode, |

| 1:6 And the high mountains shall be shaken, And the high hills shall be made low, And shall melt like wax before the flame | 1:6The lofty mountains shall be troubled, and the exalted hills depressed, melting like a honeycomb in the flame. | 1:6 And the exalted mountains will be shaken, and the high hills will be lowered, and will melt like wax before the flame. |

| 2:1 Observe 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 | All who are in the heavens know what is transacted there. 3:2They know that the heavenly luminaries change not their paths; that each rises and sets regularly, every one at its proper period, | 2:1 I observed everything that took place in the heavens, how the luminaries, which are in the heavens, do not depart from their paths, that each one rises and sets in order, each in its time, and |

Behold the summer and the winter, how the whole earth is filled with water, and clouds and dew and rain lie upon it. | 3:3They see that every work of God is invariable in the period of its appearance. They behold summer and winter: perceiving that the whole earth is full of water; and that the cloud, the dew, and the rain refresh it. | 2:3 See the summer and the winter, how then the whole earth is full of water, and clouds and dew and rain rest over it. |

| 4:1 And 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. | 5:1Again they consider the days of summer, that the sun is upon it at its very beginning; while you seek for a covered and shady spot on account of the burning sun; while the earth is scorched up with fervid heat, and you become incapable of walking either upon the ground or upon the rocks in consequence of that heat. | 4:1 And again I observed the days of summer, how the sun is then above it [i.e. the earth], opposite to it, but ye seek cool and shady places on account of the heat of the sun, and the earth also burns with fervent heat, but ye cannot step on the earth or on a rock because of their heat. |

| 5:1 Observe 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. | 6:1They consider how the trees, when they put forth their green leaves, become covered, and produce fruit; understanding everything, and knowing that He who lives for ever does all these things for you: | 5:1 I observed how the trees cover themselves with the green of the leaves and bear fruit; but observe ye all this and learn how he who lives forever has made all these for you; |
| 5:2 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. | 6:2That the works at the beginning of every existing year, that all his works, are subservient to him, and invariable; yet as God has appointed, so are all things brought to pass. | 5:2 how his works are before him in every year that comes, and all his works serve him and are not changed, but as God has ordained, so everything takes place. |
| 5:3 And behold how the sea and the rivers in like manner accomplish and change not their tasks from His commandments'. | 6:3They see, too, how the seas and the rivers together complete their respective operations: | 5:3 And see how the seas and the rivers together accomplish their work. |
| 5:4 But ye -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. | 6:4But you endure not patiently, nor fulfill the commandments of the Lord; but you transgress and calumniate his greatness; and malignant are the words in your polluted mouths against his Majesty. 6:5You withered in heart, no peace shall be to you! | 5:4 But ye have not persevered and have not done the commandment of the Lord, but have transgressed, and have slandered his greatness with high and hard words from your unclean mouths. Ye hard-hearted, ye will have no peace. |
| 5:5 Therefore shall ye execrate your days, And the years of your life shall perish, And the years of your destruction shall be multiplied in eternal execration, And ye shall find no mercy. | 6:6Therefore your days shall you curse, and the years of your lives shall perish; perpetual execration shall be multiplied, and you shall not obtain mercy. | 5:5 And therefore ye will curse your days, and the years of your lives perish; the everlasting curse will increase and ye will receive no mercy. |

And for all of you sinners there shall be no salvation, But on you all shall abide a curse. | 6:7In those days shall you resign your peace with the eternal maledictions of all the righteous, and sinners shall perpetually execrate you; 6:8Shall execrate you with the ungodly. 6:10But you, you unholy, shall be accursed. | 5:6 On that day ye will give away your peace for an everlasting curse to all the just, and they will ever curse you as sinners, you together with the sinners. |
| 5:7 But for the elect there shall be light and joy and peace, And they shall inherit the earth. | 6:9The elect shall possess light, joy, and peace; and they shall inherit the earth. | 5:7 but for the chosen there will be light and joy and peace, and they will inherit the earth, but for you, the impious, there will be a curse. |

And their lives shall be increased in peace, And the years of their joy shall be multiplied, In eternal gladness and peace, All the days of their life. | and shall not repeat transgression. 6:12They shall not be condemned the whole period of their lives, not die in torment and indignation; but the sum of their days shall be completed, and they shall grow old in peace; while the years of their happiness shall be multiplied with joy, and with peace, for ever, the whole duration of their existence. | without continuing to sin.5:9 And they will not be punished all the days of their lives, and will not die through plagues or judgments of wrath, but the number of the days of their lives will be completed, and their lives will become old in peace, and the years of their joy will be many in everlasting happiness and peace, for all the days of their lives. |

They were stepping on flames of fire: Their garments were white [and their raiment], And their faces shone like snow. | 70:1Afterwards my spirit was concealed, ascending into the heavens.

| 72:34 of the sun these distinctions are made (lit. ' they are separated '). So it comes that its course becomes | of the sun. 71:44By means of this progress the day is | of the sun they are made separated.72:34 On that account the day-course becomes |
| 72:35 daily longer, and its course nightly shorter. And this is the law and the course of the sun, and his return as often as he returns sixty times and rises, i.e. the great luminary which is named the sun, for ever and ever. And that which (thus) rises is the great luminary, and is so named according to | daily lengthened, and the night greatly shortened. 71:45This is the law and progress of the sun, and its turning when it turns back, turning during sixty days, and going forth. This is the great everlasting luminary, that which he names the sun for ever and ever. 71:46This also is that which goes forth a great luminary, and which is named after its | longer daily and the night-course shorter nightly.72:35 And this is the law and the course of the sun and his return when he returns; sixty times he returns and comes out, that is the great, eternal luminary which is called the sun to all eternity.72:36 And that which thus ascends is the great luminary, as it is called on account of |
| 72:37 its appearance, according as the Lord commanded. As he rises, so he sets and decreases not, and rests not, but runs day and night, and his light is sevenfold brighter than that of the moon; but as regards size they are both equal. | peculiar kind, as God commanded. 71:47And thus it goes in and out, neither slackening nor resting; but running on in its chariot by day and by night.

| 73:1 And after this law I saw another law dealing with the smaller luminary, which is named the Moon. | 72:1After this law I beheld another law of an inferior luminary, the name of which is the moon, | 73:1 And after this law I saw another law with reference to the smaller luminary whose name is moon. |
| 73:2 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 (definite) measure. | and the orb of which is as the orb of heaven. 72:2Its chariot, which it secretly ascends, the wind blows; and light is given to it by measure. | 73:2 And her circuit is like the circuit of the heavens, and her chariot in which she rides is driven by the wind, and in a measure light is given to her. |
| 73:3 And her rising and setting change every month: and her days are like the days of the sun, and when her light is uniform (i.e. full) it amounts to the seventh part of the light of the sun. | 72:3Every month at its exit and entrance it becomes changed; and its periods are as the periods of the sun.

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. | 72:4Thus it rises, and at its commencement towards the east goes forth for thirty days. 72:5At that time it appears, and becomes to you the beginning of the month.

In single seventh parts she accomplishes all her light in the east, and in single seventh parts accomplishes all her | as they occur, and the appearance of their light, until it is completed in fifteen days. 73:4In each of its two seven portions it completes all its light at rising | as they were and the appearance of their lights till fifteen days are completed.74:3 And in seven single parts she completes all her light in the east, and in seven single parts she completes all her |
| 74:4 darkness in the west. And in certain months she alters her settings, and in certain months she pursues | and at setting. 73:5On stated months it changes its settings; and on stated months it makes | darkness in the west.74:4 And in certain months she changes her settings, and in certain months she goes |
| 74:5 her own peculiar course. In two months the moon sets with the sun: in those two middle portals the | its progress through each gate. In two gates the moon sets with the sun, viz. in those two gates which are in the midst, | her peculiar course.74:5 And in two the moon sets with the sun, in those two portals which are in the middle, |
| 74:6 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 | in the third and fourth gate. From the third gate it goes forth for seven days, and makes its circuit. 73:6Again it returns to the gate whence the sun goes forth, and in that completes the whole of its light. Then it declines from the sun, and enters in eight | in the third and in the fourth portal.74:6 She comes forth seven days, and turns and returns again by that portal through which the sun comes; and in that she completes all her light and recedes from the sun; and enters in eight |
| 74:7 days enters the sixth portal from which the sun goes forth. And when the sun goes forth from the fourth portal she goes forth seven days, until she goes forth from the fifth and turns back again in seven days into the fourth portal and accomplishes all her light: and she recedes and enters into the | days into the sixth gate, and returns in seven days to the third gate, from which the sun goes forth. 73:7When the sun proceeds to the fourth gate, the moon goes forth for seven days, until it passes from the fifth gate. 73:8Again it returns in seven days to the fourth gate, and completing all its light, declines, and passes on by the | days into the sixth portal, through which the sun comes forth.74:7 And when the sun comes out of the fourth portal she comes out seven days, so that she comes out of the fifth, and returns again in seven days into the fourth portal and completes all her light, and recedes and enters the |

| 74:9 sun goes forth. Thus I saw their position -how the moons rose and the sun set in those days. And if five years are added together the sun has an overplus of thirty days, and all the days which accrue | sun goes forth. 73:10Thus I beheld their stations, as according to the fixed order of the months the sun rises and sets. 73:11At those times there is an excess of thirty days belonging to the sun | sun comes forth.74:9 Thus I saw their places, the sun rising and setting according to the order of their months.74:10 And in those days, if five years are taken together, the sun has thirty superabundant days; and all the days which belong |
| 74:11 to it for one of those five years, when they are full, amount to 364 days. 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 | in five years; all the days belonging to each year of the five years, when completed, amount to three hundred and sixty-four days; and to the sun and stars belong six days; six days in each of the five years; thus thirty days belonging to them; 73:12So that the | to him for one of these five years, when they are full, are three hundred and sixty-four days.74:11 And the superabundance of the sun and of the stars is six days; of five years, each at six, are thirty days, and the |
| 74:12 moon falls behind the sun and stars to the number of 30 days. 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 years with perfect justice in 364 days. In 3 years there are 1,092 days, and in 5 years 1,820 days, so that in 8 years there are 2,912 days. For the moon alone the days amount in 3 years to 1,062 days, and in 5 years she falls 50 days behind: [i.e. to the sum (of 1,770) there is 5 to be added (1,000 and) 62 days.] And in 5 years there are 1,770 days, so that for the moon the days 6 in 8 years amount to 21,832 days. [For in 8 years she falls behind to the amount of 80 days], all the | moon has thirty days less than the sun and stars. 73:13The moon brings on all the years exactly, that their stations may come neither too forwards nor too backwards a single day; but that the years may be changed with correct precision in three hundred and sixty-four days. In three years the days are one thousand and ninety-two; in five years they are one thousand eight hundred and twenty; and in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days. 73:14To the moon alone belong in three years one thousand and sixty-two days; in five years it has fifty days less than the sun, for an addition being made to the one thousand and sixty-two days, in five years there are one thousand seven hundred and seventy days; and the days of the moon in eight years are two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two days. 73:15For its days in eight years are less than those of the sun by eighty days, | moon recedes from the sun and the stars thirty days.74:12 And the moon brings in all the years exact, so that their place neither precedes nor recedes one day, but she changes the years with exact justice in three hundred and sixty-four days.74:13 Three years have one thousand and ninety-two days; and five years, eighteen hundred and twenty days; so that there will be in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days.74:14 To the moon alone belongs for three years one thousand and sixty-two days, and for five years she recedes fifty days, viz. to the sum of these are added sixty-two days.74:15 And thus in five years there will be seventeen hundred and seventy days, so that the days of the moon for eight years will be two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two days.74:16 For her receding in eight years is eighty days, and all the |
| 74:17 days she falls behind in 8 years are 80. 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 (the sun) rises and sets 30 days. | which eighty days are its diminution in eight years. 73:16The year then becomes truly complete according to the station of the moon, and the station of the sun; which rise in the different gates; which rise and set in them for thirty days. | days she remains behind in eight years are eighty days.74:17 And the year is justly finished, in accordance with their stations and the stations of the sun, rising through their portals, through which they rise and set thirty days. |

In the circumference of the sun there are seven portions of light which are added to it more than to the moon, and in definite measures it is s transferred till the seventh portion of the sun is exhausted.

And fifteen parts of light are transferred to her till the fifteenth day (when) her light is accomplished, according to the sign of the year, and she becomes fifteen parts, and the moon grows by (the addition of) fourteenth | and the half of a seventh portion of light is all which is in it. 77:6In fourteen days the whole of its light is completed. 77:7By three quintuples light is put into it, until in fifteen days its light is completed, according to the signs of the year; it has three quintuples. 77:8The moon has the half of a seventh | having in herself the half of the seventh part of the light, and in fourteen days her light is completed.78:7 Also three times five portions of light are put into her, so that on the fifteenth day her light is completed, according to the sign of the year, and it becomes three times five portions, and the moon becomes so by the half of the seventh |

And in her waning (the moon) decreases on the first day to fourteen parts of her light, on the second to thirteen parts of light, on the third to twelve, on the fourth to eleven, on the fifth to ten, on the sixth to nine, on the seventh to eight, on the eighth to seven, on the ninth to six, on the tenth to five, on the eleventh to four, on the twelfth to three, on the thirteenth to two, on the | portion. 77:9During its diminution on the first day its light decreases a fourteenth part; on the second day it decreases a thirteenth part; on the third day a twelfth part; on the fourth day an eleventh part; on the fifth day a tenth part; on the sixth day a ninth part; on the seventh day it decreases an eighth part; on the eighth day it decreases a seventh part; on the ninth day it decreases a sixth part; on the tenth day it decreases a fifth part; on the eleventh day it decreases a fourth part; on the twelfth day it decreases third part; on the thirteenth day it decreases a second part; on the | part.78:8 And in her decrease on the first day she decreases to fourteen parts of her light, and on the second she decreases to thirteen parts, and on the third she decreases to twelve parts, and on the fourth she decreases to eleven parts, and on the fifth she decreases to ten parts, and on the sixth she decreases to nine parts, and on the seventh she decreases to eight parts, and on the eighth she decreases to seven parts, and on the ninth she decreases to six parts, and on the tenth she decreases to five parts, and on the eleventh she decreases to four parts, and on the twelfth she decreases to three parts, and on the thirteenth she decreases to two parts,78:9 and on the |

On the side whence the light of the moon comes forth, there again she wanes till all the light vanishes and all the days of the month are at an end, and her circumference is empty, void of 5 light. And three months she makes of thirty days, and at her time she makes three months of twenty-nine days each, in which she accomplishes her waning in the first period of time, and in the first 6 portal for one hundred and seventy-seven days. And in the time of her going out she appears for three months (of) thirty days each, and for three months she appears (of) twenty-nine each. At night she appears like a man for twenty days each time, and by day she appears like the heaven, and there is nothing else in her save her light. | day it is called the new moon, for on that day light is received into it. 77:15It becomes precisely completed on the day that the sun descends into the west, while the moon ascends at night from the east. 77:16The moon then shines all the night, until the sun rises before it; when the moon disappears in turn before the sun. 77:17Where light comes to the moon, there again it decreases, until all its light is extinguished, and the days of the moon pass away. 77:18Then its orb remains solitary without light. 77:19During three months it effects in thirty days each month its period; and during three more months it effects it in twenty-nine days each. These are the times in which it effects its decrease in its first period, and in the first gate, namely, in one hundred and seventy-seven days. 77:20And at the time of its going forth during three months it appears thirty days each, and during three more months it appears twenty-nine days each. 77:21In the night it appears for each twenty days as the face of a man, and in the day as heaven; for it is nothing else except its light. | day she is called the new moon, for on that day the light is raised upon her.78:13 And she is completed exactly on the day the sun descends in the west and when at night she ascends from the east and shines all night till the sun rises opposite her and the moon is seen opposite the sun.78:14 Whence the light of the moon comes, there again she decreases till all her light disappears, and the days of the moon cease, and her circuit remains empty without light.78:15 And three months she makes thirty days in her time, and three months she makes each time twenty-nine days, in which she makes her decrease, in the first time and in the first portal for one hundred and seventy-seven days.78:16 And in the time of her departure she is seen each time thirty days during three months, and each time twenty-nine days during three months.78:17 At night she appears each time as a man twenty times, and during the day like the heavens, for there is nothing in her except her light. |
