61 |Enoch admonishes his sons to keep themselves from unrighteousness and to extend their hands to the poor often, to give them some of their works. Word "57."|

"So now, my children, keep your hearts from every

unrighteous deed which the LORD hates.

And just as a person makes request for his own soul from God, in the same manner let him behave toward every living soul, because in the great age I will find out everything. Many shelters have been prepared for people, good ones for the good, but bad ones for the bad, many, without number.

Happy is he who enters into the blessed houses; for in the bad ones there is no rest, nor returning.

Listen, my children, old and young! A person, when he place s vow upon his heart to bring gifts before the face of the LORD from his own works, and his hands did not make that thing, then the LORD will turn away his face form the works of his hands, 〈|and|〉 he will not find the works of his hands. *But even if his hands did make it, but his heart is complaining, the illness of his heart will not cease; making complaint without ceasing, he shall not have even a single benefit.

62 |About how it is appropriate to bring one's gift with faith. And that there is no repentance after death. Word "58."|

"Happy is the person who, in his suffering, brings |his| gifts |with faith| before the face of the LORD, 〈and〉 sacrifices them and then receives remission of sins. But if, before the time comes, he should retract his vows, there is no repentance for him.

If the 〈|time|〉 specified elapses, |and 〈then〉 he does it|,

                                                                                    he will not be accepted, and there is no repentance after death. *Because everything before the time and after the time which a person does, both are a scandal before men and a sin before God.

63 |About how not to despise the poor, but to share equally with them, so that you will not have a complaint before God. Word "59."|

"A person, when he clothes the naked or gives his bread to the

hungry, then he will obtain a reward |from God|. *If his heart should murmur, it is a twofold evil that he creates for himself. It is a loss that he creates in respect to that which he gives, and he will not have any obtaining of remuneration because of it.

And the poor man, when his heart is satisfied or his body is clothed, and he performs an act of contempt, then he will ruin all his endurance of poverty, and he will not obtain the reward for his good deeds.

For the LORD detests every kind of contemptuous person, and every person who makes himself out to be great, and every untruthful word, stimulated by injustice; and it will be cut out with the blade of the sword of death, |and thrown into the fire. And it will burn|; and this cutting out has no healing unto eternity."

64 |About how the LORD calls Enoch up. And the people agreed together to go to kiss him at the place called Akhuzan. Word "60."|

〈And〉 when Enoch had spoken |these words| to his sons and to the princes of the people, and all his people, near and far, having heard that the LORD was calling Enoch, they consulted one another, saying,

"Let us go, let us kiss Enoch." *And they came together, up to 2000 men, and they arrived at the place

Akhuzan where Enoch was, and his sons. *And the elders of the people and all the community came and prostrated themselves and kissed Enoch.

And they said to him, "O our father, Enoch! May you be blessed by the LORD, the eternal king! And now, bless your 〈|sons|〉, and all the people, so that we may be glorified in front of your face today.

For you will be glorified in front of the face 〈|of the LORD for eternity|〉, because you are the one whom the LORD chose in preference to all the people upon the earth; and he appointed yoou to be the one who makes a written record of all his creation, visible and invisible, and the one who carried away the sin of mankind

and the helper of your own household." *|And Enoch answered his people, saying to all of them|:

65 |About Enoch's instruction to his sons. Word "61."|

"Listen, my children! Before ever anything existed, and before

ever any created thing was created, the LORD

            created the whole of his creation, visible and invisible.

And however much time there was went by. Understand how, on account of this, he constituted man in his own form, in accordance with a similarity. And he gave him

                   eyes          to see,

            and ears           to hear,

            and heart         to think,

            and reason       to argue.

And the LORD set everything forth for the sake of man, and he created the whole of creation for his sake. And he divided it into times:

            And from time                                    he established years;

            and from the years                  he settled months;

            and from the months               he settled days;

            and from the days                   he settled 7;

            and in those                             he settled the hours;

            and      the hours                     he measured exactly,

so that a person might think about time, and so that he might count the years and the months and the days and the hours and the perturbations and the beginnings and the endings, and that he might keep count of his own life form the beginning onto death, and think of his sins, and so that he might write his own achievement, both evil and good.

For no achievement is hidden in front of the LORD, so that every person might know his own achievement and so that he might not transgress any one of his commandments at all and so that he might hold onto what my hand has written in generation and generation.

And when the whole of creation, visible and invisible, which the LORD has created, shall come to an end, then each person will go to

the LORD's great judgment. *|And| then |all| time will perish, and afterward there will be neither years nor months nor days nor hours. They will be dissipated, and after that they will not be reckoned.

But they will constitute a single age. And all the righteous, who escape from the LORD's great judgment, will be collected together into the great age. And the great age will come about for the righteous, and it will be eternal.

And after that there will be among them neither weariness 〈|nor sickness|〉 nor affliction nor worry |nor| want nor debilitation nor night nor darkness.

But they will have a great light, a great indestructible light, and paradise, great and incorruptible. For everything corruptible will pass away, and the incorruptible will come into being, and will be the shelter of the eternal residences.
