They set, enter into the western gate, circuit by the north, and through the eastern gate go forth.

These are the times in which it effects its decrease in its first period, and in the first gate, namely, in one hundred and seventy-seven days. He showed me also the decrease of the moon, which is effected in the. Such is the appearance and likeness of every luminary, which Uriel, the great angel who conducts them, showed to me.

You see the sun, the moon, and those which conduct the stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to return. The rain shall be restrained, and heaven shall stand still. Heaven shall shine more than when illuminated by the orders of light;.

But in another year they shall take you from the midst of them,. To you I have revealed all, and have given you books of everything. But indeed these are marked down for ever; one in the first gate, one in the third, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth: So that the year is completed in three hundred and sixty-four days.

After these, twelve conductors of their classes, who separate the months and the year into three hundred and sixty-four days, with the leaders of a thousand, who distinguish between the days, as well as between the four additional ones; which, as conductors, divide. These are the names of the conductors, who separate the four quarters of the year, who are appointed over them: Melkel, Helammelak, Meliyal,.

In the days of his influence there is perspiration, heat, and trouble. All the trees become fruitful; the leaf of every tree comes forth; the corn is reaped; the rose and every species of flowers blossoms in the field; and the trees of winter are dried up.

All the fruits of the earth are collected, with everything. This takes place during the time of his influence. I will relate another vision, which I saw before I was married; they resemble each other.

I saw a potent. I cried out. Then my grandfather Malalel raised me up, and said to me: Why do you thus cry out, my son? And wherefore. He said to me, Confirmed is that which you have seen, my son; And potent the vision of your dream respecting every secret sin of the earth.

Its substance shall sink into the abyss, and. I spoke with the breath of my mouth, and with a tongue of flesh, which God has formed for all the sons of mortal men, that with it they may speak; giving them breath, a mouth, and a tongue to converse with. All the heavens are your throne for ever, and all the earth your footstool for ever and for ever. No act whatsoever exceeds your power. With your wisdom is unchangeable; nor from your throne and from your presence is it ever averted.

You know all things, see and hear them; nor is anything concealed from you; for you perceive all things. Hide not your face, O Lord, from the prayer of your servant. Enoch arose and said to his son Mathusala, To you, my son, will I speak.

Hear my word; and incline your ear to the visionary dream of your father. Before I married your mother Edna, I saw a vision on my bed; And behold, a cow sprung forth from the earth; And this cow was white. Again I looked in my vision, and surveyed heaven; when behold I saw many stars which descended, and projected themselves from heaven to where the first star was,. Then I raised my eyes a second time towards heaven, and saw in a vision, that, behold, there came forth from heaven as it were the likeness of white men.

One came forth from thence,. And they said, Remain here, until you perceive what shall come upon those elephants, camels, and asses, upon the stars, and upon all the cows. And the whole earth shook. While the cow was trembling, it was born, and became a man, and fabricated for himself a large ship.

In this he dwelt,. Above it were seven cataracts,. Then I surveyed the height of this water; and it was elevated above the village. All the cows, the elephants, the camels, and the asses, were drowned on the earth, and all cattle. Nor could I perceive them. Neither were they able to get out, but perished, and sunk into the deep. And the white cow left them. Then the white cow, which was born, brought forth a black wild sow and a white.

One however, which was saved, escaped, and went away to the wild asses. The sheep cried out; and their Lord came to them. The eyes of the wolves were blind, who went out and followed them. But the Lord of the sheep proceeded with them, and conducted them. Yet the wolves. It became full, and was raised up, until it covered.

And I saw that all of them which had followed the sheep perished, and were drowned. And they began to open their eyes and to see.

They cried out after that sheep; and to the other sheep who had been with him, and who was in the midst of. As soon as they beheld him, they feared, and trembled at his presence; And became desirous of returning to their. They were terrified at his countenance. Then he caused those which had wandered to return;. I saw, too, that all the great sheep perished, while smaller ones rose up in their place, entered into a pasture, and.

He brought them all back; and their eyes were opened. This ram began to butt on every side those dogs, foxes, and wild. All the time that the dogs. And I saw that those dogs caused. And when one of them was saved from slaughter he leaped, and cried out against those who were desirous of killing him. Then he departed from the place of his habitation, and left them in the power of lions, tigers, wolves, and the zeebt, and in the power of foxes, and of every.

Then they began to kill, and destroy more than it was commanded them. That tower they burnt, and overthrew. Each of them in his season, according to his number, was delivered up; each of them, one with another,.

He ascended, remained, and exhibited each of his books to the Lord of the sheep, containing all which they had done, and all which each of them had made. The shepherds and the sheep were all mixed together;. He petitioned him for them, and prayed, pointing out every act. Then taking the book, he deposited it with him, and departed.

Others then received them into their. The eagle instructed them all. They neither left them their body, nor their skin, nor their muscles, until their bones alone remained; until their bones fell.

And the sheep became diminished. Their eyes were wide open; and he cried out to them. The sheep were silent, but the dabela lamented and cried out. But he struggled with them, and cried out, that help might come to him. Behold, I saw them all bound, and standing before him. They thrust them into a place, deep, and full of flaming fire, and full.

Then the seventy shepherds were judged, and being found guilty, were thrust. They brought it out, and deposited. All its pillars were new, and its ivory new, as well as more abundant than the former ancient ivory, which he had brought out. Then all who had perished, and had been destroyed, every beast of the field, and every bird of heaven, assembled in that house: while the Lord of the sheep rejoiced with great joy, because all were good, and had come back again to.

Then I blessed the Lord of righteousness, and. While I was looking on, they flowed on account of what I saw; for all was come and.

My beloved,. Every act of crime, and every act of oppression and impiety, shall be a second time embraced. They shall be brought from every part of the earth, and be cast into a judgment of fire.

They shall perish in wrath, and by a judgment overpowering them for ever. He wrote all this instruction of wisdom for every man of dignity, and every judge of the earth; for all my children who shall dwell upon earth, and for subsequent generations, conducting themselves uprightly and peaceably. In goodness and in righteousness shall he exist, and shall walk in everlasting light;.

In consequence of that which has been shown to me, from my heavenly vision and from the voice of the holy angels have I acquired knowledge; and from the tablet of heaven have I acquired understanding.

Who capable of contemplating all the workmanship. Who of comprehending the deeds of heaven? He may be capable of conversing respecting it, but not of ascending to it. He may see. Approach them not, that you may not perish; but covet,. They are not found in every place, nor does every counsel possess a little of them. Those, too, who acquire gold and silver, shall justly and suddenly perish. Judgment shall overtake you, ye sinners. Your nest shall be more exalted than that of the avest; you shall ascend, and enter into the cavities of the earth, and into the clefts of the rocks for ever, like conies, from the sight of the ungodly; Who shall groan over you, and weep like sirens.

This word shall testify against you, for the remembrance of crime. And where will you fly in the day of judgment, when you shall hear the words of the prayer of the righteous?

When the day of your judgment shall arrive;. Thus shall they perish, together with their riches, with all their glory, and with their honours; While with disgrace, with slaughter, and in extreme penury, shall their spirits be thrust into a furnace of fire. Henceforwards shall it be manifested; for every act of oppression which you commit shall be daily recorded, until the period of your condemnation. To the wise you will not listen,.

Whence is it that you feed on good things, drink, and are satiated? Is it not because our Lord, the Most High, has abundantly supplied every good thing upon earth? To you there shall not be peace. Why do you hope for that which is good? Know that you shall be given up into the hands of the righteous; who shall cut.

You have been lost in perdition; and have never led a virtuous life. They transgress against the everlasting decree; And cause the heads of those who are not sinners to be trodden down upon the earth. Their offspring shall slip from them, and while suckling them shall they forsake them; they shall never return to them, and never instruct their beloved. They shall worship impure spirits, demons, and every idol, in temples; but no help shall be obtained for them. In their visionary dreams.

Altogether shall they perish. From the dawn of day to the setting sun shall the slaughter continue. No one shall assist you. But when the frost, snow, cold, every snowy wind, and every suffering belonging to them, fall upon you, in those days you will be utterly incapable of standing before them. And will not you, sinners, who are. Is not He the maker of heaven and earth, and of all things which are in them? And shall not sinners be terrified at the Most High? In your lifetime your bodies have not received a recompense in proportion to your goodness, but in the period of your existence have sinners existed; in the period of execration and of punishment.

What profit have they in their works?
