    6 |About the dew and about olive oil and various flowers. Word "5."|

     

    And they showed me the treasuries of the dew, like olive oil.

    And the appearance of its image was like every kind of earthly flower , only more numerous; and the angels who guard their treasuries, how they are shut and opened.

     

    7 |About how Enoch was taken to the 2nd heaven. Word "6."|

     

    And those men picked me up and brought me up to the second heaven. And they showed me, and I saw a darkness greater than earthly darkness. And there I perceived prisoners under guard, hanging up, waiting for the measureless judgment. *And those angels have the appearance of darkness itself, more than earthly darkness. And unceasingly they made weeping, all the day long. And I said to the men who were with me, "Why are these ones being tormented unceasingly?" *Those men answered me, "These are those who turned away from the LORD, who did not obey the LORD's commandments, but of their own will plotted together and turned away with their prince and with those who are under restraint in the fifth heaven." *And I felt very sorry for them; and those angels bowed down to me and said to me, "Man of God, pray for us to the LORD!"

    And I answered them and said, "Who am I, a mortal man, that I should pray for angels? Who knows where I am going and what will confront me? Or who indeed will pray for me?"

     

    8 |About the taking of Enoch to the 3rd heaven. Word "7."|

     

    And those men took me from there, and they brought me up to the third heaven, and set me down |there|. Then I looked downward, and I saw Paradise. And that place is inconceivably pleasant.

    And I saw the trees in full flower. And their fruits were ripe and pleasant-smelling, with every food in yield and giving off profusely a pleasant fragrance.

     

                And in the midst (of them was) the tree of life, at that place where the LORD takes a rest when he goes into paradise. And that tree is indescribable for pleasantness and fine fragrance, and more beautiful than any (other)

     

    created thing that exists. *And from every direction it has an appearance which is good-looking and crimson, and with the form of fire. And it covers the whole of Paradise. And it has something of every orchard tree and of every fruit. And its root is in Paradise at the exit that leads to the earth.

    And paradise is in between the corruptible and the incorruptible. And two streams come forth, one a source of honey and milk, and a source which produces oil and wine. And it is divided into 4 parts, and they go around with a quiet movement. And they come out into the paradise of Edem, between the corruptible and the incorruptible. And from there they pass along and divide into 40 parts. And it proceeds in descent along the earth, and they have a revolution in their cycle, just like the other atmospheric elements.

    And there is no unfruitful tree there, and every tree is well fruited, and every place is blessed.

    And there are 300 angels, very bright, who look after Paradise; and with never-ceasing voice and pleasant singing they worship the LORD every day and hour. And I said, "How very pleasant is this place!" And those men said to me:

    9 |The revelation to Enoch of the place of those who are righteous and kind. Word "8."|

     

    "This place, Enoch, has been prepared for the righteous,

     

    who suffer every kind of calamity in their life

    and who afflict their souls,

    and who avert their eyes from injustice,

    and who carry out righteous judgment,

    and who give bread to the hungry,

    and who cover the naked with clothing,

    and who lift up the fallen

    and who help the injured and the orphans,

    and who walk without a defect before the face of the LORD,

    and who worship him only *

     

    even for them this place has been prepared as an eternal inheritance."

     

    10 |Here they showed Enoch the frightful place and various tortures. Word "9."|

     

    And those men carried me

    to the northern region; and they showed me there a very frightful place;

    and all kinds of torture and torment are in that place, cruel darkness and lightless gloom. And there is no light there, and a black fire blazes up perpetually, with a river of fire that comes out over the whole place, fire here, freezing ice there, and it dries up and it freezes;

    and very cruel places of detention and dark and merciless angels, carrying instruments of atrocities torturing without pity.

    And I said, "Woe, woe! How very frightful this place is!" And those men said to me, "This place, Enoch, has been prepared for those who do not glorify God, who practice on the earth the sin |which is against nature, which is child corruption in the anus in the manner of Sodom|, of witchcraft, enchantments, divinations, trafficking with demons, who boast about their evil deeds * |stealing, lying, insulting, coveting, resentment, fornication, murder| * *and who steal the souls of men secretly, seizing the poor by the throat,

    taking away their possessions,

    enriching themselves from the possessions of others, defrauding them; who, when they are able to provide sustenance, bring about the death of the hungry by starvation; and, when they are able to provide clothing, take away the last garment of the naked; *who do not acknowledge their Creator, but bow down to idols which have no souls, which can neither see nor hear, vain gods; constructing images, and bowing down to vile things made by hands * for all these this place has been prepared as an eternal reward."
