which

After which the righteous and chosen house of his congregation shall appear, thenceforward unchangeable, in the name of the Lord of spirits.

And there my eyes beheld the instruments which they were making, fetters of iron without weight.

In those days shall punishment go forth from the Lord of spirits; and the receptacles of water which are above the heavens shall be opened, and the fountains likewise, which are under the heavens and under the earth.

In those days shall punishment go forth from the Lord of spirits; and the receptacles of water which are above the heavens shall be opened, and the fountains likewise, which are under the heavens and under the earth.

All the waters, which are in the heavens and above them, shall be mixed together.

The water which is above heaven shall be the agent;

And the water which is under the earth shall be the recipient: and all shall be destroyed who dwell upon earth, and who dwell under the extremities of heaven.

By these means shall they understand the iniquity which they have committed on earth: and by these means shall they perish.

In those days shall the mouth of hell be opened, into which they shall be immerged; hell shall destroy and swallow up sinners from the face of the elect.

But when the time shall come, then _shall_ the power, the punishment, and the judgment _take place_, which the Lord of spirits has prepared for those who prostrate themselves to the judgment of righteousness, for those who abjure that judgment, and for those who take _his_ name in vain.

And a male _monster_, whose name is Behemoth; which possesses, _moving_ on his breast, the invisible wilderness.

For when the lightning lightens, the thunder sounds, and the spirit at a proper period pauses, making an equal division between them; for the receptacle, upon which their periods depend, is _loose_ as sand. Each of them at a proper season is restrained with a bridle; and turned by the power of the spirit, which thus propels _them_ according to the spacious extent of the earth.

The spirit likewise of the sea is potent and strong; and as a strong power causes it to ebb, so is it driven forwards, and scattered against the mountains of the earth. The spirit of the frost has its angel; in the spirit of hail there is a good angel; the spirit of snow ceases in its strength, and a solitary spirit is in it, which ascends from it like vapour, and is called refrigeration.

Upon this account therefore there is a regulation in the quantity of rain, which the angels receive.

And these are the measures which shall be given to faith, and _which_ shall strengthen the words of righteousness.

And these are the measures which shall be given to faith, and _which_ shall strengthen the words of righteousness.

For great is the mercy of the Lord of spirits; long-suffering is he; and all his works, all his power, great as are the things which he has done, has he revealed to the saints and to the elect, in the name of the Lord of spirits.

And that nothing, which shall be spoken before him, shall be _spoken_ in vain.

And they shall confine those angels who disclosed impiety. In that burning valley _it is, that they shall be confined_, which at first my great-grandfather Enoch showed me in the west, where there were mountains of gold and silver, of iron, of fluid metal, and of tin.

I beheld that valley in which there was great perturbation, and _where_ the waters were troubled.

And when all this was effected, from the fluid mass of fire, and the perturbation which prevailed in that place, there arose a strong smell of sulphur, which became mixed with the waters; and the valley of the angels, who had been guilty of seduction, burned underneath its soil.

And when all this was effected, from the fluid mass of fire, and the perturbation which prevailed in that place, there arose a strong smell of sulphur, which became mixed with the waters; and the valley of the angels, who had been guilty of seduction, burned underneath its soil.

Through that valley also rivers of fire were flowing, to which those angels shall be condemned, who seduced the inhabitants of the earth.

For no word which is uttered before the Lord of spirits shall be in vain.

And when the angels shall ascend, the water of the springs shall _again_ undergo a change, and be frozen. Then I heard holy Michael answering and saying, This judgment, with which the angels shall be judged, shall bear testimony against the kings, the princes, and those who possess the earth.

For these waters of judgment shall be for their healing, and for the death of their bodies. But they shall not perceive and believe that the waters will be changed, and become a fire, which shall blaze for ever.

After this he gave me the characteristical marks of all the secret things in the book of my great-grandfather Enoch, and in the parables which had been given to him; inserting them for me among the words of the book of parables.

At that time holy Michael answered and said to Raphael, The power of the spirit hurries me away, and impels me on. The severity of the judgment, of the secret judgment of the angels, who is capable _of beholding_—the endurance of that severe judgment which has taken place and been made permanent—without being melted at the sight of it? Again holy Michael answered and said to holy Raphael, Who is there whose heart is not softened by it, and whose reins are not troubled at this thing?

Nor would death, which destroys everything, have affected them;

The stroke of the embryo in the womb, to diminish _it_; the stroke of the spirit _by_ the bite of the serpent, and the stroke which is _given_ in the mid-day _by_ the offspring of the serpent, the name of which is Tabaet.

The stroke of the embryo in the womb, to diminish _it_; the stroke of the spirit _by_ the bite of the serpent, and the stroke which is _given_ in the mid-day _by_ the offspring of the serpent, the name of which is Tabaet.

This is the number of the Kesbel; the principal part of the oath which the Most High, dwelling in glory, revealed to the holy ones.

During the period of _its_ fury he has established the sand against it, which continues unchanged for ever; and by this oath the abyss has been made strong; nor is it removable from its station for ever and ever.

And with them he establishes this oath, by which they and their paths are preserved; nor does their progress perish.

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.

And those blessings, which proceeded from my mouth, became acceptable in the presence of the Ancient of days.

The Ancient of days came with Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel, with thousands of thousands, and myriads of myriads, which could not be numbered.

The book of the revolutions of the luminaries of heaven, according to their respective classes, their respective powers, their respective periods, their respective names, the places where they commence their progress, and their respective months, which Uriel, the holy angel who was with me, explained to me; he who conducts them. The whole account of them, according to every year of the world for ever, until a new work shall be effected, which will be eternal.

The whole account of them, according to every year of the world for ever, until a new work shall be effected, which will be eternal.

This is the first law of the luminaries. The sun _and_ the light arrive at the gates of heaven, which are on the east, and on the west of it at the western gates of heaven.

In which gates also the moon rises and sets; and _I beheld_ the conductors of the stars, among those who precede them; six _gates were_ at the rising, and six at the setting of the sun.

First proceeds forth that great luminary, which is called the sun; the orb of which is as the orb of heaven, the whole of it being replete with splendid and flaming fire.

First proceeds forth that great luminary, which is called the sun; the orb of which is as the orb of heaven, the whole of it being replete with splendid and flaming fire.

It goes forth through the fourth of those six gates, which are at the rising of the sun.

And in the fourth gate, through which the sun with the moon proceeds, in the first part of it, there are twelve open windows; from which issues out a flame, when they are opened at their proper periods.

And in the fourth gate, through which the sun with the moon proceeds, in the first part of it, there are twelve open windows; from which issues out a flame, when they are opened at their proper periods.

The sun goes forth through this fourth gate, and sets in it, and turns to the fifth gate during thirty days; after which it proceeds from, and sets in, the fifth gate.

This 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.

This also is that which goes forth a great luminary, and which is named after its peculiar kind, as God commanded.

This also is that which goes forth a great luminary, and which is named after its peculiar kind, as God commanded.

After this law I beheld another law of an inferior luminary, the name of which is the moon, and the orb of which is as the orb of heaven.

After this law I beheld another law of an inferior luminary, the name of which is the moon, and the orb of which is as the orb of heaven.

Its chariot, _which_ it secretly ascends, the wind blows; and light is given to it by measure.

At that time it appears, and becomes to you the beginning of the month. Thirty days _it is_ with the sun in the gate from which the sun goes forth.

Then I saw another progress and regulation which He effected in the law of the moon. The progress of the moons, and everything _relating to them_, Uriel showed me, the holy angel who conducted them all.

On stated months it changes _its_ settings; and on stated months it makes its progress _through_ each _gate_. In two _gates_ the moon sets with the sun, _viz._ in those two gates which are in the midst, in the third and fourth gate. _From the third gate_ it goes forth for seven days, and makes its circuit.

Again 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 days into the sixth gate, _and returns in seven days to the third gate_, from which the sun goes forth.

And returns in seven days to the fourth gate, from which the sun goes forth.

For its days in eight years are less _than those of the sun by_ eighty days, which eighty days are its diminution in eight years.

The year then becomes truly complete according to the station of the moons, and the station of the sun; which rise in the _different_ gates; which rise and set in them for thirty days.

The year then becomes truly complete according to the station of the moons, and the station of the sun; which rise in the _different_ gates; which rise and set in them for thirty days.

_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.

_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.

Conductors of the days and nights: the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the ministers of heaven, which make their circuit with all the chariots of heaven.

Thus Uriel showed me twelve gates open for the circuit of the chariots of the sun in heaven, from which the rays of the sun shoot forth.

Twelve gates I beheld in heaven, at the extremities of the earth, through which the sun, moon, and stars, and all the works of heaven, proceed at their rising and setting.

One window at a _certain_ season grows extremely hot. So also are there gates from which the stars go forth as they are commanded, and in which they set according to their number.

One window at a _certain_ season grows extremely hot. So also are there gates from which the stars go forth as they are commanded, and in which they set according to their number.

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.

And at the extremities of the earth I beheld twelve gates open for all the winds, from which they proceed and blow over the earth.

Three of them are open in the front of heaven, three in the west, three on the right side of heaven, and three on the left. The first three are those which are towards the east, three are towards the north, three behind those which are upon the left, towards the south, and three on the west.

Three of them are open in the front of heaven, three in the west, three on the right side of heaven, and three on the left. The first three are those which are towards the east, three are towards the north, three behind those which are upon the left, towards the south, and three on the west.

From four of them proceed winds of blessing, and of health; and from eight proceed winds of punishment; when they are sent to destroy the earth, and the heaven above it, all its inhabitants, and all which are in the waters, or on dry land.

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.

From the third gate, which is westwards, proceed dew, rain, blight, and destruction.

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 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.

And from the third gate, which is westwards, inclining towards the south, proceed mist, frost, snow, rain, dew, and blight.

And from the last gate, which is southwards, proceed drought, destruction, scorching, and perdition.

The fourth wind, which is named the north, is divided into three parts; one of which is for the habitation of man; another for seas of water, with valleys, woods, rivers, shady places, and snow; and the third part _contains_ paradise.

The fourth wind, which is named the north, is divided into three parts; one of which is for the habitation of man; another for seas of water, with valleys, woods, rivers, shady places, and snow; and the third part _contains_ paradise.

Seven high mountains I beheld, higher than all the mountains of the earth, from which frost proceeds; while days, seasons, and years depart and pass away.

Seven rivers I beheld upon earth, greater than all rivers, one of which takes its course from the west; into a great sea its water flows.

In the orb of the sun _there is_ a seventh portion of light, which is added to it from the moon. By measure it is put in, until a seventh portion of _the light of_ the sun is departed. They set, enter into the western gate, circuit by the north, and through the eastern gate go forth over the face of heaven.

When the moon rises, it appears in heaven; and the half of a seventh portion of light is all _which is_ in it.

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.

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 all things have I revealed to thee. Thou seest the sun, the moon, and those which conduct the stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to return.

And all things have I revealed to thee. Thou seest the sun, the moon, and those which conduct the stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to return.

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.

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.

Then I looked on all which was written, and understood all, reading the book and everything written in it, all the works of man;

With respect to the progress of the sun in heaven, it enters and goes out of _each_ gate for thirty days, with the leaders of the thousand classes of the stars; with four which are added, and appertain to the four quarters of the year, which conduct them, and accompany them at four periods.
