1And after that Enoch both †gave† and began to recount from the books.
2And Enoch said:
‘Concerning the children of righteousness and concerning the elect
of the world,
And concerning the plant of uprightness, I will speak these things,
Yea, I Enoch, will declare (them) unto you, my sons:
According to that which appeared to me in the heavenly vision,
And which I have known through the word of the holy angels,
And have learnt from the heavenly tablets.’
3And Enoch began to recount from the books and said: ‘I was born the seventh in the first week, While judgement and righteousness still endured.
4And after me there shall arise in the second week great
wickedness,
And deceit shall have sprung up;
And in it there shall be the first end.
And in it a man shall be saved;
And after it is ended unrighteousness shall grow up,
And a law shall be made for the sinners.
5And after that in the third week at its close A man shall be elected as the plant of righteous judgement. And =his posterity= shall become the plant of righteousness for evermore.
6And after that in the fourth week, at its close, Visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen, And a law for all generations and an enclosure shall be made for them.
7And after that in the fifth week, at its close, The house of glory and dominion shall be built for ever.
8And after that in the sixth week all who live in it shall be
blinded,
And the hearts of all of them shall godlessly forsake wisdom.
And in it a man shall ascend;
And at its close the house of dominion shall be burnt with fire,
And the whole race of the chosen root shall be dispersed.
9And after that in the seventh week shall an apostate generation arise, And many shall be its deeds, And all its deeds shall be apostate.
10And at its close shall be elected
The elect righteous of the eternal plant of righteousness,
To receive sevenfold instruction concerning all His creation.
[11. For who is there of all the children of men that is able to hear
the voice of the Holy One without being troubled? And who can think His
thoughts? and who is there that can behold all the works of heaven?
12And how should there be one who could behold the heaven, and who is there that could understand the things of heaven and see a soul or a spirit and could tell thereof, or ascend and see all their ends and think them or do like them?
13And who is there of all men that could know what is the breadth and the length of the earth, and to whom has been shown the measure of all of them?
14Or is there any one who could
discern the length of the heaven and how great is its height, and upon
what it is founded, and how great is the number of the stars, and where
all the luminaries rest?]
XCI. 12-17. _The Last Three Weeks._
15And after this, in the tenth week in the seventh part, There shall be the great eternal judgement, In which He will execute vengeance amongst the angels.
16And the first heaven shall depart and pass away, And a new heaven shall appear, And all the powers of the heavens shall give sevenfold light.
17And after that there will be many weeks without number for ever,
And all shall be in goodness and righteousness,
And sin shall no more be mentioned for ever.
