  Speaker 1: Chapters one through five, Parable of Enoch on the future
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: lot of the wicked and the Righteous. Chapter one the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Words of the Blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: elect and righteous, who will be living in the day
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of Tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: be removed. And he took up his parable, and said, Enoch,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a righteous man whose eyes were opened by God, saw
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the angels showed me. And from them I heard everything,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and from them I understood as I saw, but not
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: for this generation, but for a remote one which is
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: for to come. Concerning the elect, I said, and took
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: up my parable. Concerning them, the Holy Great One will
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: come forth from his dwelling, and the Eternal God will
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: tread upon the earth, even on Mountain Sinai, and appear
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: from his camp, and appear in the strength of his
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: might from the heaven of heaven. And all shall be
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: smitten with fear, and the watchers shall quake, and great
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the earth. And the high mountains shall be shaken, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the high hills shall be made low, and shall melt
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: like quax before the flame, and the earth shall be
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: wholly rent and sunder, and all that is upon the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: earth shall perish, and there shall be a judgment upon
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: all men. But with the righteous he will make peace
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and will protect the elect, and mercy shall be upon them,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and they shall all belong to God, and they shall
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: be prospered, and they shall all be blessed, and He
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: will help them all, and light shall appear unto them,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and He will make peace with them. And behold, he
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: cometh with ten thousand of his holy ones, to execute
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: judgment upon all, and to destroy all the ungodly, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to convict all flesh of all the works of their
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, and of all the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Chapter two.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Observe ye everything that takes place in the heaven. How
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they do not change their orbits, and the luminaries which
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: are in the heaven, How they all rise and set
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: in order, each in its season, and transgress not against
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: their appointed order. Behold ye the earth, and give heed
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to the things which take place upon it, from first
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to last, How steadfast they are, how none of the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: things upon the earth change, but all the works of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: God appear to you. Behold the summer in the winter,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: how the whole earth is filled with water, and clouds,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and dew and rain lie upon it. Chapter three. Observe
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and see how in the winter all the trees seem
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: as though they had withered and shed all their leaves,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: except fourteen trees, which do not lose the foliage, but
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: retain the old foliage from two to three years till
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the new comes. Chapter four, And again observe ye the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: days of summer, how the sun is above the earth
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: over against it, and you seek shade and shelter by
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: reason of the heat of the sun. And the earth
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: also burns with growing heat, and so you cannot tread
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: on the earth or on a rock by reason of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: its heat. Chapter five. Observe ye how the trees cover
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: themselves with green leaves and bear fruit. Wherefore, give ye
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: heed and know with regard to all his works, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: recognize how He that liveth forever hath made them so,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and all his works go on thus from year to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: year forever, and all the tasks which they accomplish for Him,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and their tasks change not, but according as God hath ordained,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So is it done. And behold how the sea and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the rivers, in like manner accomplish and change not their
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: tasks from His commandments. But ye ye have not been
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: steadfast nor done the commandment of the Lord. But ye
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: have turned away and spoken proud and hard words with
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: your impure mouths against His greatness. Oh, ye hard hearted,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: ye shall find no peace. Therefore shall ye execrate your days,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and the years of your life shall perish, and the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: years of your destruction shall be multiplied in eternal execration,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and ye shall find no mercy in those days. Ye
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: shall make your names an eternal execration unto all the righteous,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and by you shall all who curse curse, and all
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the sinners and godless shall imprecate. By you, and for
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you the godless, there shall be a curse, and all
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the shall rejoice, and there shall be forgiveness of sins
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and every mercy and peace, and forbearance. There shall be
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: salvation unto them a godly light. And for all of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you sinners there shall be no salvation, but on you
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: all shall abide a c But for the elect there
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: shall be light and joy and peace. And they shall
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: inherit the earth, and then there shall be bestowed upon
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the elect wisdom, and they shall all live and never
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: again sin, either through on godliness or through pride. But
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: they who are wise shall be humble, and they shall
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: not again transgress, nor shall they sin all the days
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of their life, nor shall they die of the divine
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: anger or wrath. But they shall complete the number of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the days of their life, and their lives shall be
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: increased in peace, and the years of their joy shall
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: be multiplied in eternal gladness and peace all the days
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of their life. Chapter six. Chapter six through eleven, The
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: fall of the angels, the demoralization of mankind, the intercession
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of the angels on behalf of mankind, the dooms pronounced
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: by God on the angels, the Messianic kingdom a Noah fragment,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Chapter six. And it came to pass when the children
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of men had multiplied, that in those days were born
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: said to one another, come, let us choose us wives
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: from among the children of men, and beget us children.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And some Jasa who was their leader said unto them,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I fear you will not indeed agree to do this deed,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a great sin. And they all answered him and said,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: let us all swear an oath and all bind ourselves
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: by mutual imprecations, not to abandon this plan, but to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: do this thing. Then swear they all together and bound
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: all two hundred who descended in the days of Jared
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: on the summit of Mount Hermon. And they called it
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Mount Herman because they had sworn and bound themselves by
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: mute mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of their leaders samezas their leader Arikuba, Ramiel, Coccabiel, Tamil, Ramiel, Danel, Ezekuil,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Barkal Asael, Amurus, batarl Ananel, Zokil, Samsapiel, Satarrel, Thruel, Holmhal Sariel.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: These are their chiefs of Tens chapter seven. And all
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the others together with them, took unto themselves wives, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: each chose for himself one. And they began to go
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: they taught them charms and enchantments in the cutting of roots,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and made them acquainted with plants. And they became pregnant,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and they bear great giants whose height was three thousand els,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and beasts, and reptiles and fish, and to devour one
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: another's flesh and drink the blood. Then the earth laid
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: accusation against the lawless ones Chapter eight. And Azazel taught
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: men to make swords and knives, and shields and breastplates,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and made known to them the metals of the earth
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and the art of working them, and bracelets and ornaments,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and all kinds of costly stones, and all coloring tinctures.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: And there arose much godlessness and the committed fornication, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: they were led astray and became corrupt in all their ways.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Some Jasa taught enchantments and root cuttings, Amarus the resolving
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: of enchantments. Baroque Hall taught astrology, Cocabal, the constellations, Isakael,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the knowledge of the clouds, Araquail, the signs of the Earth,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: sham Seal, the signs of the Sun, and Suriel the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: course of the Moon. And as men perished, they cried,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and their cry went up to heaven Chapter nine. And
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: all the lawlessness being brought upon the earth. And they said,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: one to another, the earth made without inhabitant cries. The
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: voice of their crying up to the gates of Heaven.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And now to you, the holy ones of Heaven, the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: souls of men make their suit, saying, bring our cause
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: before the Most High. And they said to the Lord
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of the Ages, Lord of Lords, God of God's, King
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of Kings, and God of the Ages, the throne of
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: thy glory standeth unto all the generations of the ages,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the ages. Thou hast made all things and power over
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: all things. Hast thou, and all things are naked and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: open in thy sight. And thou seest all things, and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: nothing can hide itself from thee Thou seest what Azazel
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: revealed the eternal secrets which were preserved in heaven, which
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: men were striving to learn, and some Jazah, to whom
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: thou hast given authority to bear rule over his associates.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: And they have gone to the daughters of men upon
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the earth, and have slept with the women, and have
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: defiled themselves and revealed to them all kinds of sins,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and the women have borne giants. And the whole earth
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness. And now behold,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the souls of those who have died are crying and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: making their suit to the gates of heaven. And their
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: lamentations have ascended and cannot cease because of the lawless
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: deeds which are wrought on the earth. And Thou knowest
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: all things before they come to pass, and thou seest
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: these things, and thou dost suffer them, and thou dost
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: not say to us what we are to do to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: them in regard to these. Chapter ten, Then said the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Most High, the Holy and Great One, spake, and Saint
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Uriel to the son of Lamak, and said to him,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: go to Noah and tell him in my name, hide thyself,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and reveal to him the end that is approaching, that
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: about to come upon the whole earth and will destroy
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: all that is on it. And now instruct him that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: he may escape, and his seed may be preserved for
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: all the generations of the world. And again the Lord
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: said to Raphael, bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: him into the darkness, and make an opening in the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: desert which is in Dudayel, and cast him therein, and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: with darkness, and let it abide there forever, and cover
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: his face that he may not see light. And on
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the day of the Great Judgment, he shall be cast
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: into the fire and heal the earth which the angels
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: have corrupted. And proclaim the healing of the earth, that
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: they may heal the plague and that all the children
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: of men may not perish through all the secret things
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that the watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that were taught by Asizel to him ascribe all sin.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: And to Gabriel said the Lord proceed against the bastards
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication, And
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: destroy the children of fornication and the children of the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: watchers from amongst men, and cause them to go forth.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Send them one against the other, that they may destroy
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: each other in battle for length of days. Shall they
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: not have. And no request that they I either fathers
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: make of these shall be granted unto their fathers on
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: their behalf, for they hope to live in eternal life,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and that each one of them will live five hundred years.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: And the Lord's Senate, Sir Michael, go bind some Jaza
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and his associates who have united themselves with women, so
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: And when their sons have slain one another, and they
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: till the day of their judgment and of their consummation,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: till the judgment that is forever and ever is consummated.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: In those days they shall be led off to the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: abyss of fire, and to the torment and the prison
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: in which they shall be confined forever. And whosoever shall
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: be condemned and destroyed, will from thenceforth be bound together
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: with them to the end of all generations. And destroy
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the watchers, because they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: from the face of the earth. And let every evil
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: work come to an end. And let the plant of
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: righteousness and truth appear, and it shall prove a blessing.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: The works of righteousness and truth shall be planted in
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: truth and joy forevermore. And then shall all the righteous escape,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and shall live till they beget thousands of children, and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: all the days of their youth and their old age
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: shall they complete in peace. And then shall the whole
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: earth be tilled in righteousness, and shall all be planted
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: with trees and be full of blessing. And all desirable
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: trees shall be planted on it, and they shall plant
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: vines on it, and the vine which they plant thereon
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: shall yield wine in abundance. And as for all the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: seed which is sown thereon, each measure of it shall
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: bear a thousand and each measure of olives shall yield
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: ten presses of oil, and cleanse thou the earth from
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: all oppression, and from all unrighteousness, and from all sin,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and from all godlessness, and all the uncleanness that is
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: wrought upon the earth. Destroy from all fa the earth,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and all the children of men shall become righteous, And
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: all nations shall offer adoration and shall praise me, and
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: all shall worship me. And the earth shall be cleansed
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: from all defilement, and from all sin, and from all punishment,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and from all torment. And I will never again send
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: them upon it, from generation to generation and forever Chapter eleven.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And in those days I will open the store chambers
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of blessing which are in the heaven, so as to
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: send them down upon the earth over the work and
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: labor of the children of men. And truth and peace
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: shall be associated together throughout all the days of the world,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and throughout all the generations of men. And of Section
• 15:45
