36 |God commanded Enoch to live on the earth for 30 days, to impart knowledge to his sons and to his children's children. After 30 days he was taken up to heaven once more. Word "32."|

"And now, Enoch, I am giving you a waiting period of 30 days to set your house in order |and| to instruct your sons 〈|and all the members of your household|〉 about everything from me personally, so that they may obey what is said to them by you. And they will read and understand that there is no other God apart from myself, so that thet may carry out all your instructions and study the books in your handwriting |accurately and attentively|.

And after 30 days I shall send for you my angel, and he will take you up from the earth and from your sons to me."

37 |Here God summons an angel. Word "33."|

And the LORD called one of the senior angels, terrifying and frightful, and he made him stand with me. And the appearance of that angel was as white as snow, and his hands like ice, having the appearance of great frigidity. And he chilled my face, because I could not endure the terror of the LORD, just as it is not possible to endure the fire of a stove and the heat of the sun and the frost of death.

And the LORD said to me, "Enoch, if your face had not been chilled here, no human being would be able to look at your face."

38 |Mathusal, having hope, also waited for his father, Enoch, at his bed, day and night. Word "34."|

And the LORD said to those men who had brought me up at the first, "Let Enoch descend onto the earth with you. And wait for him until the specified day." *And they placed me at highttime on my bed. . *And Methusalam was anticipating my arrival, mounting strict guard at my bed and he was terrified when he heard my arrival. And I said to him, "Let all the members of my household come down." Then I said to them:

39 |The mournful admonition of Enoch to his sons: with weeping and great sorrow he spoke to them. Word "35."|

"O my children, my beloved ones!| Give heed, my children, |to the admonition of your father|, to whatever is in accordance with the will of the LORD. *I have been sent today to you from the lips of the LORD, to speak to you whatever has been and whatever is now and whatever will be until the day of judgment. *Listen, my children, |for| it is not from my own lips that I am reporting to you today, but form the lips of the LORD I have been sent to you. For you hear my words, out of my lips, a human being created exactly equal to yourselves; but I have heard from the fiery lips of the LORD. For the lips of the LORD are a furnace of fire, and his angels are the flames which come out. But you, my children, see my face, a human being created just like yourselves; but I am one who has seen the face of the LORD, like iron made burning hot by a fire, and it is brought out and it emits sparks and it is incandescent. *But you gaze into my eyes, a human being equal in significance to yourselves; but I have gazed into the eyes of the LORD, shining like the rays of the sun and terrifying the eyes of a human being. But you, my children, see the right hand of one who helps you, a human being created identical to yourselves; but I have seen the right hand of the LORD, helping me and filling heaven.

But you see the scope of my activity, the same as your own; but I have seen the scope of the LORD, without limit and without analogy, and to which there is no end.

For you hear the sayings of my lips, but I have heard the LORD speaking like loud thunder, when there is a continual disturbance in the clouds. *And now, my children, listen to the discourses of your earthly father. Frightening and dangerous it is to stand before the face of an earthly king, terrifying and very dangerous it is, because the will of the king is death and the will of the king is life. How much more terrifying |and dangerous| it is to stand before the face of the King of earthly kings and of the heavenly armies, |the regulator of the living and of the dead|. Who can endure that endless misery?

40 |Enoch admonishes his children in all things truthfully from the lips of the LORD, just as he saw them and heard them and wrote them down. Word "36."|

"And now therefore, my children, I know everything; for either form the lips of the LORD or else my eyes have seen from the beginning even to the end, and from the end to the recommencement.

I know everything, and everything I have written down in books, the heavens and their boundaries and their contents. And all the armies and their movements I have measured. And I have recorded the stars and the multitude of multitudes innumerable. *What human being can see their cycles and their phases?

For not even the angels know their number. But I have

written down all their names. *The solar circle I have measured, and its rays |I have measured, the hours| I have counted; and its entrances in all the months, and

its departures, and all its movements * their names I have written down. *The lunar circle I have measured, and its movements which are in accordance with each day, and the diminution which it undergoes during each day and night in accordance with all the hours.

I appointed 4 seasons, and from the seasons I created 4 cycles, and in the cycles I appointed the year, and I appointed months, and from the months I counted days, and from the days I measured off the hours and I counted them and wrote them down. *And everything that is nourished on the earth I have investigated and written down, and every seed, sown and not sown, which grows form the earth, and all the garden plants, and all the grasses, and all the flowers, and their delightful fragrances and their names.

And the dwelling places of the clouds, their organization and their wings, and how they carry the rain and the raindrops * all this I investigated.

And I wrote down the rumble of the thunder and the lightning: and they showed me the keys and their keepers, and the places where they go, where they go in and where they go out, by measure. They are raised by means of a chain, and they are lowered by means of a chain, so that he does not drop the clouds of anger with terrible injuries and violence, and destroy everything on the earth.

I wrote down the treasuries of the snow,                               and the storehouses of the cold, and the frosty winds. And I observed how, depending on the season, their custodians fill up the clouds with them, and their treasuries are not emptied.

I wrote down the sleeping chambers of the winds, and I observed and I saw how their custodians carry scales and measures. And first they place them n the scales, and secondly in the measure, and it is my measure that they release them skillfully into all the earth, lest the earth should be rocked by violent gusts.

I measured all the earth, and its mountains and hills and fields and woods and stones and rivers, and everything that exists. I wrote down the height from the earth to the seventh heaven, and the depth to the lowermost hell, and the place of condemnation, and the supremely large hell, open and weeping.

And I saw how the prisoners were in pain, looking forward to endless punishment; and I recorded all those who have been condemned by the judge, and all their sentences and all their corresponding deeds.
