that

It becomes precisely completed on the day that the sun descends into the west, while the moon ascends at night from the east.

He showed me every ordinance respecting these, which _takes place_ at all times and in all seasons under every influence, in all years, at the arrival and under the rule of each, during every month and every week. _He showed me_ also the decrease of the moon, which is effected in the sixth gate; for in that sixth gate is its light consumed.

_Its period_ is less than that of the sun, according to the ordinance of the stars, by five days in one half year precisely.

When that _their_ visible situation is completed. Such is the appearance and likeness of every luminary, which Uriel, the great angel who conducts them, showed to me.

And punishment shall come upon them, so that all of them shall be destroyed.

He said, O Enoch, look on the book which heaven has gradually dropped down; and, reading that which is written in it, understand every part of it.

At that time I said, Blessed is the man, who shall die righteous and good, against whom no catalogue of crime has been written, and with whom iniquity is not found.

And they said unto me, Explain everything to Mathusala thy son; and inform all thy children, that no flesh shall be justified before the Lord; for he is their Creator.

During one year we will leave thee with thy children, until thou shalt again recover thy strength, that thou mayest instruct thy family, write these things, and explain them to all thy children. But in another year they shall take thee from the midst of them, and thy heart shall be strengthened; for the elect shall point out righteousness to the elect; the righteous with the righteous shall rejoice, congratulating each other; but sinners with sinners shall die,

Preserve, my son Mathusala, the books written by thy father; that thou mayest transmit them to future generations.

Wisdom have I given to thee, to thy children, and thy posterity, that they may transmit to their children, for generations for ever, this wisdom in their thoughts; and that those who comprehend _it_ may not slumber, but hear with their ears; that they may learn this wisdom, and be deemed worthy of eating _this_ wholesome food.

Respecting these, men greatly err, and do not compute them in the computation of every age; for they greatly err respecting them; nor do men know accurately that they are in the computation of the year. But indeed these are marked down for ever; one in the first gate, one in the third, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth:

So that the year is completed in three hundred and sixty-four days.

Truly has been stated, and accurately has been computed that which is marked down; for the luminaries, the months, the fixed periods, the years, and the days, Uriel has explained to me, and communicated to me; whom the Lord of all creation, on my account, commanded (according to the might of heaven, and the power which it possesses both by night and by day) to explain _the laws of_ light to man, of the sun, moon, and stars, and of all the powers of heaven, which are turned with their respective orbs.

I related to him the whole vision which I had seen. He said to me, Confirmed is that which thou hast seen, my son;

Now, my son, rise up; and beseech the Lord of glory (for thou art faithful), that a remnant may be left upon earth, and that he would not wholly destroy it. My son, all this _calamity_ upon earth comes down from heaven; upon earth shall there be a great destruction.

Now, my son, rise up; and beseech the Lord of glory (for thou art faithful), that a remnant may be left upon earth, and that he would not wholly destroy it. My son, all this _calamity_ upon earth comes down from heaven; upon earth shall there be a great destruction.

When I went out below, and looking up to heaven, beheld the sun proceeding from the east, the moon descending to the west, a few _scattered_ stars, and everything which God has known from the beginning, I blessed the Lord of judgment, and magnified him: because he hath sent forth the sun from the chambers of the east; that, ascending and rising in the face of heaven, it might spring up, and pursue the path which has been pointed out to it.

I lifted up my bands in righteousness, and blessed the holy, and the Great One. I spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with a tongue of flesh, which God has formed for all the sons of mortal men, that with it they may speak; giving them breath, a mouth, and a tongue to converse with.

Now then, O God, Lord and mighty King, I entreat thee, and beseech thee to grant my prayer, that a posterity may be left to me on earth, and that the whole human race may not perish;

Now then, O God, Lord and mighty King, I entreat thee, and beseech thee to grant my prayer, that a posterity may be left to me on earth, and that the whole human race may not perish;

That the earth may not be left destitute, and destruction take place for ever.

From that period I could see nothing more of the red heifer; but the black one increased in bulk, and a female heifer came with him.

After this I saw that many cows proceeded forth, resembling him, and following after him.

Then I looked until that first _cow_ came to her, from which time she became silent, and ceased to lament.

After that I perceived _other_ large and black cows; and behold all of them changed their stalls and pastures, while their young began to lament one with another. Again I looked in _my_ vision, and surveyed heaven; when behold I saw many stars which descended, and projected themselves from heaven to where the first star was,

Again I perceived them, when they began to strike and to swallow each other; and the earth cried out. Then I raised my eyes a second time towards heaven, and saw in a vision, that, behold, there came forth from heaven as it were the likeness of white men. One came forth from thence, and three with him.

Then I looked at that one of the four _white men_, who came forth first.

And when I looked in the vision, behold, one of those four angels, who came forth, hurled from heaven, collected together, and took all the great stars, whose form partly resembled that of horses; and binding them all hand and foot, cast them into the cavities of the earth.

Then one of those four went to the white cows, and taught them a mystery. While the cow was trembling, it was born, and became a man, and fabricated for himself a large ship. In this he dwelt, and three cows dwelt with him in that ship, which covered them.

Again I looked, and behold there were fountains open on the earth in that large village.

The water began to boil up, and rose over the earth; so that the village was not seen, while its whole soil was covered with water.

Again I looked in the vision until those cataracts from that lofty roof were removed, and the fountains of the earth became equalized, while other depths were opened;

One of the three cows was white, resembling that cow; one of them was red as blood; and one of them was black. And the white cow left them.

And they began to bite each other; when the white cow, which was born in the midst of them, brought forth a wild ass and a white cow at the same time, and _after that_ many wild asses. Then the white cow, which was born, brought forth a black wild sow and a white sheep.

That wild sow also brought forth many swine;

And that sheep brought forth twelve sheep.

Again those asses delivered that sheep to the wolves;

Then the Lord brought the eleven _other_ sheep, that they might dwell and feed with him in the midst of the wolves.

He called to that sheep which had secretly stolen away from the wolves, and told him to make the wolves understand that they were not to touch the sheep.

He called to that sheep which had secretly stolen away from the wolves, and told him to make the wolves understand that they were not to touch the sheep.

Then that sheep went to the wolves with the word of the Lord, when another met him, and proceeded with him.

Both of them together entered the dwelling of the wolves; and conversing with them made them understand, that from thenceforwards they were not to touch the sheep.

He began to strike the wolves, who commenced a grievous lamentation; but the sheep were silent, nor from that time did they cry out.

Then that lake became divided; the water standing up on both sides before their face.

Then the water of the lake returned, and that suddenly, according to its nature. It became full, and was raised up, until it covered the wolves. And I saw that all of them which had followed the sheep perished, and were drowned.

Then the water of the lake returned, and that suddenly, according to its nature. It became full, and was raised up, until it covered the wolves. And I saw that all of them which had followed the sheep perished, and were drowned.

All of them were alarmed, and trembled. They cried out after that sheep; and to the other sheep who had been with him, and who was in the midst of them, _saying_, We are not able to stand before our Lord, or to look upon him.

Then that sheep who conducted them went away, and ascended the top of the rock;

Their Lord however was moved with great indignation against them; and when that sheep had learned _what had happened_,

He descended from the top of the rock, and coming to them, found that there were many,

Then that sheep, taking with him other sheep, went to those which had wandered.

I likewise saw there in the vision, that this sheep became a man, built an house for the Lord of the sheep, and made them all stand in that house.

I likewise saw there in the vision, that this sheep became a man, built an house for the Lord of the sheep, and made them all stand in that house.

I perceived also that the sheep which proceeded to meet this sheep, their conductor, died. I saw, too, that all the great sheep perished, while smaller ones rose up in their place, entered into a pasture, and approached a river of water.

I perceived also that the sheep which proceeded to meet this sheep, their conductor, died. I saw, too, that all the great sheep perished, while smaller ones rose up in their place, entered into a pasture, and approached a river of water.

Then that sheep, their conductor, who became a man, was separated from them, and died.

I saw likewise that they ceased to cry after that sheep, and passed over the river of water.

I saw likewise that they ceased to cry after that sheep, and passed over the river of water.

And that there arose other sheep, all of whom conducted them, instead of those who were dead, and who had _previously_ conducted them.

Then I saw that the sheep entered into a goodly place, and a territory delectable and glorious.

I saw also that they became satiated; that their house was in the midst of a delectable territory: and that sometimes their eyes were opened, and that sometimes they were blind; until another sheep arose and conducted them. He brought them all back; and their eyes were opened.

I saw also that they became satiated; that their house was in the midst of a delectable territory: and that sometimes their eyes were opened, and that sometimes they were blind; until another sheep arose and conducted them. He brought them all back; and their eyes were opened.

I saw also that they became satiated; that their house was in the midst of a delectable territory: and that sometimes their eyes were opened, and that sometimes they were blind; until another sheep arose and conducted them. He brought them all back; and their eyes were opened.

Then their Lord sent the _former_ sheep _again_ to a still different sheep, and raised him up to be a ram, and to conduct them instead of that sheep who had laid aside his glory.

Going therefore to him, and conversing with him alone, he raised up that ram, and made him a prince and leader of the flock. All the time that the dogs troubled the sheep,

Going therefore to him, and conversing with him alone, he raised up that ram, and made him a prince and leader of the flock. All the time that the dogs troubled the sheep,

Then the latter ram arose, and fled away from before his face. And I saw that those dogs caused the first ram to fall.

That ram likewise begat many sheep, and died.

That ram also struck and killed all the wild beasts, so that they could not again prevail in the midst of the sheep, nor at any time ever snatch them away.

That ram also struck and killed all the wild beasts, so that they could not again prevail in the midst of the sheep, nor at any time ever snatch them away.

And that house was made large and wide; a lofty tower being built upon it by the sheep, for the Lord of the sheep.

Then the Lord of the sheep stood upon that tower, and caused a full table to approach before him.

Again I saw that those sheep wandered, and went various ways, forsaking that their house;

Again I saw that those sheep wandered, and went various ways, forsaking that their house;

And that their Lord called to some among them, whom he sent to them.

I saw that the Lord of the sheep made a great slaughter among them in their pasture, until they cried out to him in consequence of that slaughter. Then he departed from the place _of his habitation_, and left them in the power of lions, tigers, wolves, and the zeebt, and in the power of foxes, and of every beast.

Then he departed from the place _of his habitation_, and left them in the power of lions, tigers, wolves, and the zeebt, and in the power of foxes, and of every beast.

I saw, too, that he forsook the house of their fathers, and their tower; giving them all into the power of lions to tear and devour them; into the power of every beast.

But he looked on in silence, rejoicing that they were devoured, swallowed up, and carried off; and leaving them in the power of every beast for food. He called also seventy shepherds, and resigned to them _the care of_ the sheep, that they might overlook them;

Of all the destruction _brought about by_ each of the shepherds there shall be an account; and according to the number I will cause a recital to be made before me, how many they have destroyed of their own heads, and how many they have delivered up to destruction, that I may have this testimony against them; that I may know all their proceedings; and that, delivering _the sheep_ to them, I may see what they will do; whether they will act as I have commanded them, or not.

And they left the sheep in the power of lions, so that very many of them were devoured and swallowed up by lions and tigers; and wild boars preyed upon them. That tower they burnt, and overthrew that house.

And they left the sheep in the power of lions, so that very many of them were devoured and swallowed up by lions and tigers; and wild boars preyed upon them. That tower they burnt, and overthrew that house.

Neither was I afterwards able to perceive whether they _again_ entered that house.

The shepherds likewise, and their associates, delivered them to all the wild beasts, that they might devour them. Each of them in his season, according to his number, was delivered up; each of them, one with another, was described in a book, how many of them, one with another, were destroyed, in a book.

And behold three of the sheep departed, arrived, went in; and began building all which was fallen down of that house.

Again they began to build as before, and raised up that tower, which was called a lofty tower.

And I observed during the time, that thus thirty-seven shepherds were overlooking, all of whom finished in their respective periods as the first. Others then received them into their hands, that they might overlook them in their respective periods, every shepherd in his own period.

And I observed during the time, that thus thirty-seven shepherds were overlooking, all of whom finished in their respective periods as the first. Others then received them into their hands, that they might overlook them in their respective periods, every shepherd in his own period.

Afterwards I saw in the vision, that all the birds of heaven arrived; eagles, the avest, kites and ravens. The eagle instructed them all.

I also cried out, and groaned in my sleep against that shepherd which overlooked the flock.

I observed likewise during the time, that twenty-three shepherds were overlooking; who completed in their respective periods fifty-eight periods.

I saw in the vision that ravens flew down upon those lambs;
