  And I proceeded to where things were chaotic, and I saw there something horrible.
• 1:00
  I saw neither a heaven above nor firmly founded earth, but a place
• 1:06
  chaotic and horrible. And there I saw seven stars of the heaven bound together
• 1:11
  in it like great mountains, and burning with fire. Then I said,
• 1:15
  for what sinner they bound? And on what account have they been cast in
• 1:18
  hither? Then said Uriel, one of the Holy angels, who was with
• 1:22
  me and was chief over them, and said, Enoch, why dost thou
• 1:26
  ask? And why art thou eager for the truth? These are the number
• 1:30
  of the stars of heaven which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and
• 1:34
  are bound here till ten thousand years, the time entilled by their sins are
• 1:38
  consummated. And from thence I went to another place, which was still more
• 1:45
  horrible than the former. And I saw a horrible thing, a great fire
• 1:49
  there, which burned and blazed, and the place was cleft as far as
• 1:53
  the abyss, being full of great descending columns of fire. Neither its extent
• 1:57
  or magnitude could I I see, nor could I conjecture. Then I said,
• 2:02
  how fearful is this place? And how terrible to look upon? Then
• 2:07
  Uriel answered me, one of the Holy angels, who was with me,
• 2:09
  and said, unto me, Enoch, why hast thou such fear and affright?
• 2:15
  And I answered, because of this fearful place, and because of the
• 2:19
  spectacle of the pain. And He's said unto me, this place is the
• 2:23
  prison of the angels, and here they will be imprisoned forever Chapter twenty two,
• 2:29
  Shiel or the underworld. And thence I went to another place, and
• 2:34
  he showed me in the west another great high mountain and of hard rock,
• 2:39
  and there was in it four hollow places, deep and wide, and very
• 2:43
  smooth. How smooth are the hollow places, and deep and dark to look
• 2:47
  at. Then Raphael answered one of the holy angels who was with me,
• 2:52
  and said, unto me, these hollow places have been created for this very
• 2:55
  purpose, that the spirits of the souls of the dead should assemble Therein yea,
• 3:00
  that all the souls of the children of men should assemble here. And
• 3:04
  these places have been made to receive them till the day of their judgment,
• 3:07
  until their appointed period, till the period appointed till the great judgment comes upon
• 3:14
  them. I saw the spirits of the children of men who were dead,
• 3:17
  and their voice went forth to heaven and made suit. Then I asked Rafael,
• 3:23
  the angel who was with me, and I said, unto him,
• 3:24
  this spirit, whose is it? Whose voice goeth forth and maketh suit.
• 3:30
  And he answered me, saying, this is the spirit which went forth from
• 3:32
  Abel, whom his brother Cain slew, and he makes his suit against him,
• 3:38
  till his seed is destroyed from the face of the earth, and his
• 3:40
  seed is annihilated from amongst the seed of men. Then I asked, regarding
• 3:46
  it, and regarding all the hollow places, why as one separated from the
• 3:50
  other. And he answered me, and said, unto me, these three
• 3:53
  have been made that the spirits of the dead might be separated. And such
• 3:58
  a division has been made for the spirits of the righteous, in which there
• 4:01
  is the bright spring of water. And such has been made for sinners,
• 4:04
  when they die and are buried in the earth, and judgment has not been
• 4:09
  executed on them in their lifetime. Here their spirits shall be set apart in
• 4:14
  this great pain till the great day of judgment and punishment and torment of those
• 4:17
  who curse forever and retribution for their spirits. There he shall bind them forever.
• 4:24
  And such a division has been made for the spirits of those who make
• 4:28
  their suit, who make disclosures concerning their destruction when they were slain in the
• 4:31
  days of the sinners. Such has been made for the spirits of men who
• 4:35
  were not righteous, but sinners who were complete in transgression, and of the
• 4:41
  transgressors they shall be companions. But their spirits shall not be slain in the
• 4:46
  day of judgment, nor shall they be raised. From thence, then I
• 4:49
  bless the Lord of Glory, and said, blessed be my Lord, the
• 4:53
  Lord of Righteousness, who ruleth forever. Chapter twenty three. The fire that
• 4:58
  deals with the luminary sad of Heaven. From thence I went to another place,
• 5:01
  to the west of the ends of the earth, and I saw a
• 5:04
  burning fire which ran without resting, and paused not from its course day or
• 5:10
  night, but ran regularly. And I ask, saying, what is this
• 5:15
  which rests not? Then Braguell, one of the Holy angels, who was
• 5:18
  with me, answered me and said, nto me, this course of fire
• 5:23
  which thou hast seen, is the fire in the west, which persecutes all
• 5:27
  the luminaries of heaven chapter twenty four and twenty five, the seven mountains in
• 5:33
  the northwest, and the Tree of Life chapter twenty four. And from thence
• 5:39
  I went to another place of the earth, and he showed me a mountain
• 5:42
  range of fire which burnt day and night. And I went beyond it and
• 5:45
  saw seven magnificent mountains, all differing each from the other, and the stones
• 5:49
  thereof were magnificent and beautiful, magnificent as a whole, of glorious appearance and
• 5:57
  fair exterior. Three towards the east one found it on the other, and
• 6:01
  three towards the south, one upon the other. And deep rough ravines,
• 6:06
  no one of which joined with any other. And the seventh mountain was in
• 6:12
  the midst of these, and it excelled them in height, resembling the seat
• 6:15
  of a throne. And fragrant trees encircled the throne, and amongst them was
• 6:20
  a tree such as I had never yet smelt. Neither was any among them,
• 6:25
  nor were others like it. It had a fragrance beyond all fragrance,
• 6:29
  and its leaves and blooms and wood whither not forever. And its fruit is
• 6:34
  beautiful, and its fruit resembles the dates of a palm. Then I said,
• 6:40
  how beautiful is this tree and fragrant, and its leaves are fair,
• 6:44
  and its blooms very delightful in appearance. Then answered Michael, one of the
• 6:48
  holy un honored angels, who was with me and was their leader Chapter twenty
• 6:54
  five. And he said, unto me, Enoch, why dost thou ask
• 6:58
  me regarding the fragrance the tree, And why dost thou wish to learn the
• 7:01
  truth. Then I answered him, saying, I wish to know about everything,
• 7:05
  but especially about this tree. And he answered saying, this high mountain
• 7:11
  which thou hast seen, whose summit is like the throne of God, is
• 7:15
  his throne where the Holy Great One, the Lord of Glory, the Eternal
• 7:18
  King, will sit, when he shall come down to visit the earth with
• 7:23
  goodness. And as for this fragrant tree, no mortal is permitted to touch
• 7:28
  it till the Great Judgment, when He shall take vengeance on all and bring
• 7:31
  everything to its consummation forever. It shall then be given to the righteous and
• 7:36
  holy. Its fruit shall be for food to the elect. It shall be
• 7:41
  transplanted to the Holy Place, to the temple of the Lord, the Eternal
• 7:45
  King. Then shall they rejoice with joy and be glad. And into the
• 7:49
  Holy Place shall they enter, And its fragrance shall be in their bones,
• 7:53
  and they shall live a long life on earth, such as thy fathers lived,
• 7:58
  and in their days shall no sorrow or plague, or torment or calamity
• 8:01
  touched them. Then I bless the God of glory, the Eternal King,
• 8:05
  who hath prepared such things for the righteous, and hath created them and promised
• 8:09
  to give to them. And of section four
