Chapter
XII.—Translation of Enoch.
“But731
| 731 [Chap. 12 has
no exact parallel in the Homilies, but Homily VIII. 17 resembles
it.—R.] | that He might
show that these things were done on account of the ungrateful, He
translated to immortality a certain one of the first race of men,
because He saw that he was not unmindful of His grace, and because he
hoped to call on the name of God;732
| 732 There seems
to be here a mixing up of the translation of Enoch with the
statement that in the days of Enos men began to call on the name
of the Lord; Gen. iv. 26. | while the
rest, who were so ungrateful that they could not be amended and
corrected even by labours and tribulations, were condemned to a
terrible death. Yet amongst them also He found a certain one, who
was righteous with his house,733
whom He
preserved, having enjoined him to build an ark, in which he and those
who were commanded to go with him might escape, when all things should
be destroyed by a deluge: in order that, the wicked being cut off
by the overflow of waters, the world might receive a purification; and
he who had been preserved for the continuance of the race, being
purified by water, might anew repair the world.
