1 Enoch 31
R.H. Charles, 1917 (Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge) · Public Domain
1And I saw other mountains, and amongst them were groves of trees, and there flowed forth from them nectar, which is named sarara and galbanum.
2And beyond these mountains I saw another mountain to the east of the ends of the earth, whereon were aloe trees, and all the trees were full =of stacte=, being like almond trees.
3And when one =burnt= it, it smelt sweeter than any fragrant odour.
4That tree is in height like the fir, and its leaves are like (those of) the Carob tree: and its fruit is like the clusters of the vine, very beautiful: and the fragrance of the tree penetrates afar.
5Then I said: ‘How beautiful is the tree, and how attractive is its look!’
6Then Raphael, the holy angel who was with me, answered me and said: ‘This is the tree of wisdom, of which thy father old (in years) and thy aged mother, who were before thee, have eaten, and they learnt wisdom and their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked and they were driven out of the garden.’
