Behold the names of those angels. These are their names. The first of them is Samyaza; the second, Arstikapha; the third, Armen; the fourth, Kakabael; the fifth, Turel; the sixth, Rumyel; the seventh, Danyal; the eighth, Kael; the ninth, Barakel; the tenth, Azazel; the eleventh, Armers; the twelfth, Bataryal; the thirteenth, Basasael; the fourteenth, Ananel; the fifteenth, Turyal; the sixteenth, Simapiseel; the seventeenth, Yetarel; the eighteenth, Tumael; the nineteenth, Tarel; the twentieth, Rumel; the twenty-first, Azazyel.

These are the chiefs of their angels, and the names of the leaders of their hundreds, and the leaders of their fifties, and the leaders of their tens.

From his hand were _these things_ derived to them who dwell upon earth, from that period for ever.

These are the secrets of this oath, and by it were they confirmed.

All these confess and laud before the Lord of spirits.

And in the midst of these stones vibrations of living fire. My spirit saw around the circle of this flaming habitation, on one of its extremities, _that there were_ rivers full of living fire, which encompassed it.

Then the Seraphim, the Cherubim, and Ophanin surrounded _it_: these are those who never sleep, but watch the throne of his glory.

All these respectively, one after another, are on a level; and numerous windows are on the right and on the left sides of those gates.

The sun has _thus_ completed its beginnings, and a second time goes round from these beginnings.

It returns by these beginnings thirty days, rising and setting.

_These are_ the leaders of the chiefs of the thousands, _those_ which _preside_ over all creation, and over all the stars; with the four _days_ which are added and never separated from the place allotted them, according to the complete computation of the year.

And these serve four days, which are not computed in the computation of the year.

Respecting them, men greatly err, for these luminaries truly serve, in the mansion of the world, one _day_ in the first gate, one in the third gate, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth gate.

From these proceed heat over the earth, when they are opened in their stated seasons. They are for the winds, and the spirit of the dew, when in their seasons they are opened; opened in heaven at _its_ extremities.

I saw likewise the chariots of heaven, running in the world above to those gates in which the stars turn, which never set. One of these is greater than all, which goes round the whole world.

The first of these winds proceeds from the gate termed the eastern, through the first gate on the east, which inclines southwards. From this goes forth destruction, drought, heat, and perdition.

After these proceed the south winds through three principal gates; through their first gate, which inclines eastwards, proceeds a hot wind.

After these are the winds to the north, which is called the sea. _They proceed_ from three gates. The first gate _is that_ which is on the east, inclining southwards; from this proceed dew, rain, blight, and destruction. From the middle direct gate proceed rain, dew, life, and health. And from the third gate, which is westwards, inclining towards the south, proceed mist, frost, snow, rain, dew, and blight.

After these _in the_ fourth _quarter_ are the winds to the west. From the first gate, inclining northwards, proceed dew, rain, frost, cold, snow, and chill; from the middle gate proceed rain, health, and blessing;

The names of the sun are these: one Aryares, the other Tomas.

These are the two great luminaries, whose orbs are as the orbs of heaven; and the dimensions of both are equal.

During 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.

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.

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,

Now, my son Mathusala, all these things I speak unto thee, and write for thee. To thee I have revealed all, and have given thee books of everything.

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:

These are the names of those who conduct them, who watch and enter in their seasons, according to their ordinance in their periods, in their months, in _the times of_ their influence, and in their stations.

Four conductors of them first enter, who separate the four quarters of the year. After these, twelve conductors of their classes, who separate the months and the year _into_ three hundred and sixty-four _days_, with the leaders of a thousand, who distinguish between the days, as well as between the four additional ones; which, _as_ conductors, divide the four quarters of the year.

These leaders of a thousand are in the midst of the conductors, and the conductors are added each behind his station, and their conductors make the separation. These are the names of the conductors, who separate the four quarters of the year, who are appointed _over them_: Melkel, Helammelak,

These leaders of a thousand are in the midst of the conductors, and the conductors are added each behind his station, and their conductors make the separation. These are the names of the conductors, who separate the four quarters of the year, who are appointed _over them_: Melkel, Helammelak,

These are the three who follow after the conductors of the classes _of stars_; each following after the three conductors of the classes, which themselves follow after those conductors of the stations, who divide the four quarters of the year.

And these are the signs of the days which are seen upon earth. In the days of his influence _there is_ perspiration, heat, and trouble. All the trees become fruitful; the leaf of every tree comes forth; the corn is reaped; the rose and every species of flowers blossoms in the field; and the trees of winter are dried up.

These are the names of the conductors who are under them: Barkel, Zelsabel; and another additional conductor of a thousand is named Heloyalef, the days of whose influence have been completed. The other conductor next after them _is_ Helemmelek, whose name they call the splendid Zahay.

These are the signs of the days upon earth, heat and drought; while the trees bring forth their fruits, warmed and concocted, and give their fruits to dry.

These are their names and orders, and _the names_ of the conductors who are under them, of those who are chiefs of a thousand: Gedaeyal, Keel, Heel.

And on account of these things besought the Lord.

_Being alarmed_ at these things, my voice faltered. I cried out and said, The earth is destroyed. Then my grandfather Malalel raised me up, and said to me: Why dost thou thus cry out, my son? and wherefore dost thou thus lament?

At these all the cows were alarmed and terrified; when they began biting with their teeth, swallowing, and striking with their horns.

Of all these the different kinds assembled together, lions, tigers, wolves, dogs, wild boars, foxes, rabbits, and the hanzar,

But these the sheep began to kill. And when one of them was saved from slaughter, he leaped, and cried out against those who were desirous of killing him.

I will tell you which of them shall be slain; these destroy. And he delivered the sheep to them.

Then he called to another, and said, Understand, and watch everything which the shepherds shall do to these sheep; for many more of them shall perish than I have commanded.

_Concerning_ these things will I speak, and _these things_ will I explain to you, my children: I _who_ am Enoch. In consequence of that which has been shown to me, from my heavenly vision and from the voice of the holy angels have I acquired knowledge; and from the tablet of heaven have I acquired understanding.

He may behold its animation, but not its spirit. He may be capable of conversing _respecting it_, but not of ascending _to it_. He may see all the boundaries of these things, and meditate upon them; but he can make nothing like them.

By whom have been seen the dimensions of all these things? Is it every man who is capable of comprehending the extent of heaven; what its elevation is, and by what it is supported?

Woe to you, sinners, when you die in your sins; and they, who are like you, say respecting you, Blessed are these sinners. They have lived out their whole period; and now they die in happiness and in wealth. Distress and slaughter they knew not while alive; in honour they die; nor ever in their lifetime did judgment overtake them.

And in which they shall rejoice. And all the righteous shall be rewarded, who from these shall acquire the knowledge of every upright path.

He said, There, into that place which thou beholdest, shall be thrust the spirits of sinners and blasphemers; of those who shall do evil, and who shall pervert all which God has spoken by the mouth of the prophets; all which they ought to do. For respecting these things there shall be writings and impressions above in heaven, that the angels may read them and know what shall happen both to sinners and to the spirits of the humble; to those who have suffered in their bodies, but have been rewarded by God; who have been injuriously treated by wicked men; who have loved God; who have been attached neither to gold nor silver, nor to any good thing in the world, but have given their bodies to torment;

And they will eat and be satisfied, and they will turn to strange gods, to (gods) which cannot deliver them from aught of their tribulation: and this witness shall be heard for a witness against them.

And for this reason the commandment is written on the heavenly tablets in regard to her that gives birth: 'if she bears a male, she shall remain in her uncleanness seven days according to the first week of days, and thirty and three days shall she remain in the blood of her purifying, and she shall not touch any hallowed thing, nor enter into the sanctuary, until she accomplishes these

Meshech and Tiras: these are the sons of Noah. And in the twenty-eighth jubilee Noah began to enjoin upon his sons' sons the ordinances and commandments, and all the judgments that he knew, and he exhorted his sons to observe righteousness, and to cover the shame of their flesh, and to bless their Creator, and honour father and mother, and love their neighbour, and guard their souls

from henceforth and for evermore.' And the Lord our God bade us to bind all. And the chief of the spirits, Mastema, came and said: 'Lord, Creator, let some of them remain before me, and let them harken to my voice, and do all that I shall say unto them; for if some of them are not left to me, I shall not be able to execute the power of my will on the sons of men; for these are for corruption and leading astray before my judgment, for great is the wickedness of the sons of men.'

these words he spake to his two brothers, and they were angry with him and he kept silent. And in the fortieth jubilee, in the second week, in the seventh year thereof, Abram took to himself a wife,

with him in Hebrew in the tongue of the creation. And he took the books of his fathers, and these were written in Hebrew, and he transcribed them, and he began from henceforth to study them, and I made known to him that which he could not (understand), and he studied them during the six

These shall take their portion.'
