PREFACE
It ifl tinnecessary to apologize for the sppe&ranca of this
book, as Bome each work has long been a desideratam to
ficbolan. A knowledge of £noch is iodiapensable to New
Teetament stndente.
It would be beet perhapa, at the onteet, to mention
briefiy the features in which this edition diifers from
previooa editions of EuooL
I. First, the Translation is made, in the main, from a
British Mnseum MS. which is incomparably better than
those on whieh Professor Dillmann's Ethioplo text is based.
Bat as this MS., which I designate Q, is still unpublished,
I have followed Dillmaim'B text, and, in every instance in
whieh I have deviated from it in deference to or other
British Maseum MSS., I have given in my Critical Notes
the Ethiopic reading adopted, and Uiat as a rule as it
stands in the MS. followed, though it may be vieione
alike in orthography and syntax. These instances are in
all about six hundred. It will be remarked tiiat on p. 4
they are said to be three hundred and twenty-two. The
explanation of this disorepanoy is to be found in the fact
that the bulk of this book was already in type when the
Qizeh MS. was published by M. Bouriant, and that I have
allowed the Introduction to remain as it already stood
before the publication of this Greek fragment. But as the
examination of this fragment speedily made it olear that
I had nndovestimated the value of these new Ethiopic
;d by Google
viii The Book of Enoch.
USS., I waa obliged to follow their aathority in three
hundred additional inatancea against DiUmann's text.
However, as I could introduce only a limited number of
these new readings into the Critical Notes already in type,
the reader will not unfrequently have to consult Ap-
pendix C for the text followed in the Translation in the
earlier chapters. In addition to the new readings incor-
poiwted in the Translation, a number of others are proposed
in Appendices C, D, and £. These are preceded by the
readings they are intended to displace, and are always
printed in italics. I might add that the Oizeh fragment,
which, through the kindness of the Delegates of the Press,
is added on pp. 32(5-370, will bo found to be firee from the
serious blemishes of M. Booriant's edition.
To the kindness of the Kev. M. R. James, King's Coll^,
Cambridge, I owe the Latin fragment in Appendix E.
This fragment was lately discovered by Mr. James in the
British Museum. It will be seen that it helps to emend
the Ethiopic test in a few points.
n. Of late years the criticism of Enoch has reached
certiun assured results. From these duly given and sub-
stantiated a fresh departure in criticism is made. The
so-called Grundschrifi is shown to proceed from at least
four different autdiors. The book thus becomes intelligible,
(md much light is thereby thrown on the internal his-
tory, and thought-developement of the Jews in the two
centuries preceding Hie Christian era. The present writer
is convinced that until this plurality of authorship is
recognized, no true or adequate interpretation of Enoch
is possible. In the book of Enoch we have a typical
example of the Oriental method of editing. Lees important
books were constantiy rescued from oblivion by incorpora-
tion in larger books. Plagiarism and literaiy property
were ideas alike foreign to the Palestinian consciousness
of the time. As the name of David attracted diOerent col-
lections of the Psalms, and the name of Solomon successive
ilizedbyGoOC^IC
Preface, ix
collections of proverbB, bo the name of Enoch atiracted
varions treatments of celeetial and terreatrial phenomena
as well OS of the prohlem of the suffering righteous.
m. The history of important conceptions which appear
frequently in Euodi, such as that of Hades, the Resurrection,
tjie Messiah, fto., is traced hut briefly, as the present writer
hopes to issue later an independest work on the Eschatology
of pre-Christian Apocryphal and Apocalyptic literature.
IV. An attempt is made to give some account of the
influence of Enoch <m subsequent literatore, especially that
of l^e New Testament.
The Slavonic Enoch, which is mentioned occasionally in
the following pages, I hope to publish shortly. This
Apocryph, which is critically revised and translated by
my friend Mr. Morfill, the Reader in Russian and the other
Slavonic Languages, will be furnished with an Introduction
and Notes.
The many changes introduced into the text when already
in type, as well as the incorporation of much fresh material,
have made, I fear, the presence of occasional errors inevit-
able. I shall be grateful for any oorreotions.
My best thanks are due to Dr. Sanday, to whom I am under
manifold obligations, and in connexion with whose Seminar
this work was primarily undertaken ; to Dr. Neuhauer,
whom I have consulted witii advantage in season and out
of season : to Professor Margoliouth, for his courteous and
ever-ready help in questions affecting the Ethiopic text:
and finally and chiefly to my wife, whose constant sympathy
and unwearied labour in the verificotJon of references and the
formation of indices have materially lightened the burthen
of my work.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
§ I. Shobt Account of the Book.
In Gen. t. 24 it is said of EoocIl that he walked wiUt Qoi.
This eipreeBion was taken in later times to mean not only
that he led a godjy life, hat also that he was the recipient oE
saperhnman knowled^ It was not onnataisl, th^efore,
that an Apocalyptic literature b^an to circulate under his
nune in the centories when sntdi literature was rife. Id the
|ffesfflit hook, translated from the Ethiopic, we have large
fra^^eots of such a literature, proceeding from a rariety
of aatliors. Additional portions of this literature may be
diflcoTered in the coming years. Only recently two Slavonic
MSS., which belong to this literature, bat are qaite inde-
pendent of the preeeot book, have been printed in Rossia.
The present book from the Ethiopic belongn to the second
»id fiiBt centuries b.c. All the writers of the New Testa-
ment were familiar with it, and were more or less influenced
by it in thought and diction^. It is quoted as a genuine
production of Enoch by S. Jude, and as Scripture by
S. Barnabas. The authors of the Book of Jabileee, the
Apocalypse of Bamcb and IV Ezra, laid it andw con-
tribation. With the earlier Fathers and Apologists it had
all the weight of a canonical book, bat towards the close
of the third and the b^^inning of the fourth centuries it
b^an to be discredited, and finally fell under the ban of the

2 The Book of Enoch,
Churcb. Almost the latest reference to it in the Early
Church is made by George Syncdlus in his Chronography
about 800 A. D., who has preserved for as some long passages
in Greek. The book was then lost sight of till 1775, when
an Ethiopic version of it was found in Abyssinia by Bruce.
This traveller brought home three copies of it, two old MSS.
and a transcript from one of them. From one of these
Laurence made the first modem translation of Enoch in 1821.
§ a. The Ethiopic MSS.
There are seventeen MSS. of this book in Europe. Of
these one is in Paris, a transcript of B in the Bodleian.
Another is in the Vatican Library, but of this MS. I know
nothing further. The remaining fifteen are designated by
the letters A B C D, &c. Of these Laurence based his text
on A, and Din. on A B C D E. For a description of these five
MSS. see Dln.'s Liher Henoch, Aeihiopke, Annotal. pp. 1,3.
Of the remaining MSS., all of which are in the British
Museum, two were obtained by purchase, F, L in 1861 and
1862, and the rest fell into the hands of the expedition
against King Theodore at Magdala,
These MSS. with their Nos. in the British Museum Cata*
logue are as follows:

General IniroduciioH. 3
I collated these MSS. with DId/b Ethiopic text on more
than three hundred paeea^. The result of this test was
so favourable to G and G' that I made a complete collation
of these MSS. and have given the hulk of their variants in
my critdcsl notes.
The superiority of G to all other MSS. will be evident
from the following seventeen passages. Id these I have adopted
a different text from Din. in accordance with the Ethiopic
MSS. which were supported by the independent testimony of
the Greek of S. Jude 15, of the Greek fragments of Enoch
in G. Syncellus, andof theGreekfr^mentof Enoch published
by Mai in Patrum Nova Bibliotheca, vol. ii. These passages
and the MSS. that support the reading adopted are —

For the evidence of the above MSS. on these passages see

teoi times oat of the seventeen with the Gk., and M eleven
times, E three times, E F H L N twice, and ADO once
each. Hence it would appear that the five MSS. ABODE

at all and was probably sabseqoeat to it and only partiaUy
affected M. Tbia probable conolosioQ becomes a ceitainty
when we examine the i«at of the book. The following list
of paseagos in which we have departed from Dln.'s text, in
deference to the better readings of the British Mosenm MSS.,
shows that G- represents an qnciatt nnievised text, and that
6' M are nearly related to G ; bat that all the rest belong
more or less closely to another type of text, of which we may
r^ard Dln.'s text aa a partially adequate representation.
This latter type of text ^ves an inferior meaning, frequently
when opposed to G alone, and nearly always when opposed
to GM, G G', or G G*M, or these supported by one, two, or
more of the other MSS. Thus I have followed against Din,

Thns in 522 instances I have followed the above MSS.
against Din. In every instance, however, I have also given
Dln.'s text with its translation that the reader may form his
own judgment.
Before passing from this subject I will give a few passages
to show how weakly at times Dln.'s text is supported even by
inferior MSS. See Crit. Notes on xxxix, 7 where G K and
seven other MSS. are against him; liii, 7 where G M and
nine other MSS. ; Ixvii. 3 where G M and eight other MSS. ;

§ 3. Gbeik Tebsion.
Only fragments of this version have come down to as pre-
served in the chronograph^ of Geoige Syncellus (about
800 B.C.). These are vi-ix. 4; viii. 4-x. 14; iv. 8-ivi. 1 j
and in a Vatican MS. (Cod. Gr. 1809) published by Mai in
the Patrum Nova Bibliotheca, vol. iL Only Ixxxix. 42—49
is found in this MS. I have printed these fragments in
parallel colnmuB with the translation from the Ethiopic,
The Greek version has, no doubt, undergone corruption in
the process of transmission ; yet in many respects it presents
a more faithful text than the Ethiopic. This we might infer
to some extent from what has gone before, and the following
instances where it undoubtedly preserves the truer reading
will more than confirm this view: — vi. iS; viii. i ; ix. 6, 10;
X. 14; XV. 11; Izxxix. 45, 48. In these instancee we have
followed the Greek version against all the Ethiopic MSS.
The Greek version is by no means free from corruptions.
As the Greek fragment which has lately been discovered at
Cairo has not yet been published^ I have not been able to
avail myself of it.
§ 4. Eheiojatiohs.

and furnished an almost perfect translation of a text based on
live MSS. So much however has been done in the criticism
of Enoch since 1853 that the need of a new edition is im-
perative alike in respect of the text, translation, interpretation,
and criticism of the book. For a criticism of the Ethiopie

Further he h&s omitted to translate the opening words of
xzzrii. I and a clause in xci. 6. As for the interpretation of
the book, this has been pressed and stnuned in order to sup-
port the critical views which Dhi. then held but which he has
long since abandoned. His critical views indeed have undeigone
many changes, but these undoubtedly are in the right direction.
In his edition of 1 853 Din. insisted that the book proceeded
from one author with the exception of certain historical addi-
tions, vi-xvi; xci. la-i? ; xciiij cvi-vii, and of certain
Noachic interpolations, liv. 7-Iv. 2 ; Ix ; Ixv-lxix. 25 ; and
also cf . XX ; Ixx ; Ixxv. 5 ; Itttii 9-20 ; cviii.
In i860 in Heizog's U.E., Ed. i, vol. xii. 308-310, and in
1871 in Scbenkel's {Bihel-Lex^ iii. 10-13, ^^ rec<^nised the
separate authorship of xxxvii-lxxi and a6Bert«d with Ewald
its priority to the rest of the boot.
In 1883 in Herzog's R. E., Ed. 2, vol. xii. 350-353 he
abandons his original standpoint so far as to describe the book
of Enoch as a mere 'combination of the Enoch and Koah
writings,' and concedes that xxxvii-lxxi are later than the rest
of the book. His final analysis is as follows. (1) i-xxxvi ;
Ixxii-cv, with the exception of certain interpolations, form the
ground-work and were composed in the time of J. Hyrcanus.
{2) xxxvii-lxxi together probably with xvii-xix were written
at latest before 64 b. c. (3) The Noachic fragments vi. 3-8 ;

Yet despite every defect, Dln.'s edition will always maintain
a unique position in the Enoch literature.

the account of the bibliography though incomplete is helpful,

are perpetastedj even Uiose which have been corrected in his
Leiicoii, and to these Br. Schodde has added a good]y
niunber of his own. At times he transIateB directly from the
Gterman instead of the Ethiopic As for ingtance in xxxvi.
3 he translates 9*^Ml wrongly 'every evening' instead of
'to the west.' The ezphination of this strange mistake ie
fonnd in Dln.'s rendering 'gegen Abend,' which may be
translated either way. Again in Ixii. 4 he gives the extra-
ordinary rendering ' when tlifl son enters the month of the
mother,' instead of the obvioos translation ' enters the month
of the womb.' Here again Dln.'B * Wann sein Sohn in den
Mnttermnnd tritt,' explains Dr. Sohodde'a error. It is pos-
sible that t^ error ehoold be set down to an imperfect know*
ledge of English, such as he displays in xxi. 3 where the
words ' tied together to it ' represent some stars as tied to a
void I whereas the literal translation is ' bonnd together in
it*; or in xxv. 5 where he renders *it will be planted
towards the north ' instead of ' it will be transplanted to the
north,'
At other times Dr. Schodde confounds words that in the
Ethiopic closely resemble each other, as in ixvii. 2 'here
will be their judgment ' instead of ' here will be the place
of their punishment ' ; in szxii. 3 * of attractive beanty '
instead of 'of goodly fiagnmce'i in Ixxxix. 18 'abode'
instead of 'assembly,' Again in Izxiii. 8 he commaits
rightly in the notes on the waxing moon, but his translation
wrongly refers to the waning moon. On the other hand the
notes on the astronomical Chs. are often misleading and
uuintdligible : cf. Izxii. 3, 35: Ixxiv. 6; Ixxv. i. A more
thorough study of Dln.'s conomentary would have saved him
from such misconceptione.
It will be sufficient to point to one or two more mistransla-
tions in this book.

In the face of such a listas the above, and it is by no means

I had intended to give a critical histoiy of all the work
done on Enoch since 1850, and had collected almost sufficient
mat^ials for that purpose, when I found that my space
would not pennit of such a large addition to the book. I shall
therefore content myself with enumerating these inquiries and
adding occasional notes.

Enistehung, Sinn und Zutammemetzung, 1855; Hittory of
Israel, v. 345-349 (transl. from the Germ.). It was the merit
of Ewald first to discern that Enoch was composed of several
originally independent books. It is, in fact, as he declares,
' the precipitate of a literature once very active which revolved
. . . round Enoch ' Hitt. (v. 349). Though this view was at
once assailed by Kostlin and nearly every other critic since,
its truth can do longer be denied, and Holtzmann's declara-
tion that 'the so-called groundwork (i. e. i-zzzvii ; Ixxii-cv)
is composed of a ^riiole series of sections, some of Pharisaic
and others of Essene origin' [Theol. Ziteraturzeitung, 1890,
p. 497), is a notable sign of the return to Ewald's view. Bat
though future criticism must confirm Ewald's general judg-
ment of the hook, it will just as surely reject his detailed
analysis of its parts. His scheme is —

was in its pure originality derived from the self-consciousness
of Christ.
KoBTLiH, ' TJeber die Entstehung des Buchs Henoch ' {Theot.
Jakrb., 1856, pp. 340-279; 370-386). KSatlin, as we have
already remarked, contended against Ewald that the book of
Enoch did not arise through the editing of independent works,
but that by far the larger part of Enoch was the work of one
author which through subsequent accretions became the
present book. Though this view must be speedily abandoned,
it must be confessed that the Articles in which it is advocated
are masterly performances, and possess a permanent value for
the student of Enoch.
HiLOENFELD, Die jMUche Apokalyptik, 1857, pp. 91-
1 84. This work like that of Kostlin is of lasting worth and
indispensable in the study of Enoch. We cannot, however,
say so much for the conclusions arrived at. Many of these
are, in fact, demonstrably wrong. According to Hilgenfeld,
the groundwork consists of i-ivi; xx-xxxvi; Ixsii-cv written
not later than 98 B. c. The later additions, i e. zvii—
xix; zzzvii-lxxi ; evi-cviii are the work of a Christian
Gnostic about the time between Satuminos and Marcion.
There are no Noachic interpolations.
There is no occasion to enter on the, for the most part,
barren polemic between Hilgenfeld and Volkmar on the inter-
pretation and date of Enoch, to which we owe the following
writings of Hilgenfdd : — ' Die jiidische Apokalyptik und die

reckoned the periods of the seveDty shepherds at seven years
eaeh, starting from 588 b. 0., and thus arrived at 98B.C.,
Volkmar started from the same anterior limit and reckoned
each p»iod at ten years. He thus found the entire mie of
the shepherds to last 700 years or, through certain refine-
mratfl, peculiarly Yolkmarian, 720 years, and so arrived at
the year of Baicochab's rebellion 133 a. d, — a year which has
exercised a sttange fascination over him and has been fatal to
bis reputation as a critic. Thus Enoch was written 132 b. c.
It was the work of a disciple of Akiba, and was designed to
announce the final victoiy of Barcochab. Yolkmar restated
his theory in an essay : Eine Neutestamentliche Entdeckung,
Zurich, 1863. His views have received more attention thwa
they deserved through the rejoinders of Hilgenfeld, Dillmann,

Thiij most interesting essay proves beyond doubt that Enoch

author, a Christian, about 100 a. d. It is notable that all the

were at war with the Farthians 90—100 a. d.

mond givee a conciBe and able review of the work of former
critics on £noch. He rightly approves and farther enforces
Hofmann's interpretation of the seventy shepherds as angels.
He agrees with the limits assigned by Tideman to the oldest
book in Enoch ; but eoncludes, against Hilgenfeld and Tide-
man, that the Similitudes conld not entirely be the work of a
Christian ; for if they were such, there wonld undoubtedly
have been some reference to the crucified and risen Christ such
sa we find in Test. xii. Patriarch. Levi, 4. The di£Seulties of
the case are met, he believes, by supposing that a Christian
Apocalypse has been worked into the tissue of an earlier
Jewish production, and that all the Messiah passages are due
to the former. His chief arguments are : (i) the title ' son of
a woman ' conld not have been applied by a pre-Christian Jew
to a snpematural Messi^ ; (ii) a consistent text is possible by
an omission of the Messiah passages, a teztalso which answers -
to the title placed at the beginning of eaoh Similitude ; (iii)
the closing ch. Ixzi confirms this view where in the descrip-
tion of a Theopbany there is no mention of the Messiah and
the title ' Son of Man' is applied to Enoch ; (iv) the Book
of Jubilees though using Enoch extensively does not cite the
Messiah passages.
This theory is as untenable as that of Hilgenfeld and
Tideman. As for (i) the title in question is not found in the
oldest MS. ; (ii) in itself will have no weight if we bear in
mind the want of logical sequence and the frequent re-
dundancy characteristic of Semitic writings generally and of
Jewish apocalypses in particular. Moreover in no instance
that I am aware of does any superscription in Enoch give
an exact account of the Chs. it introduces, (iii) This argument

Messiah passages but also famishes one of the strongest

first to be obeeired that Izxi must be te^^arded as ui int«r-

place what sigikificanee are we to attach to the ajqiearanee of
the title 'The Son of Man' ia the interpolations and as
api^ied there to Enoch, Ix. 10 ; Ixxi. 14? We owi only ander-
stand this by studying the method of the interpolator. In
the Noachic interpolations we find that the interpolator seeks
to adapt his additions to their new contexts by incorpoiating
technical terms from these contexts. Thus the following
technical terms and phrases among otheis are taken over into
his inta^lations ; ' Lord of Spirits,' see xxxviL 2 (note) ;
' Head of Days/ xlvi. 1 (note) ; ' Angels of Punishm^t,'
Ivi. I (note); "Those who dwell on the Earth,^ xxxvii. 5
(note); but either through ignorance or of set purpose the
technical phrases are misused. At the same time the pre-
sence of many such misused technical terms in the inter-
polation over against the technical terms in their adjoining
eontezte is demonstrative evidence ss to the genuineness of
the latter. Srery copy or caricature preeapposes an originaL
And this is exactly what we find in connexion with the title,
' The Son of Man.* It is found repeatedly thronghoat the
Similitudes in the technical sense of a supernatural Messiah
and Judge of the World, and accordingly it would be sur-
prising in the extreme if it escaped the &te of the other
technical designations. But the interpolator has not dis-
appointed ns; the inevitable 'caricature' appears in Ix, 10
and Ixxi. 14, and therein we have the best evidence we could
desire for the genuineness of the technical designation in the
Similitodes.
The Similitudes, therefore, are neither of ChrigtiaD author-
ship as Hilgenfeld supposes nor of Jewish authorship worked
over by a Christian, All evidence internal and external will,
as we shall see presently, prove not only that they are Jewish
but also pre^hristian. (iv) It would be most unreasonable

The Similitndes, with the exception of the Noachic inter-

to begin and end. It was Schurer who was the first to
recognise the validity of Hoffmann's interpretatdon of the
Shepherds and to give it currency. This article oonclndes

be ascribed to a Jewish Christian or to a Jew influenced by

OF A Gbeek Translation.
Lanrence and Hoffmann believed on various grounds that
the original was written in Hehrew. Jelliaelc (ZeiUcir.
JJM.G., 1853, p. 249) argues for the same conclusion from
Hebrew fragments of Enoch which are preserved in various
Jewish writings. Din. {BvcA HenocA, Einleit. li-liii) holds the
same view and urges in suppori; of it the accurate knowledge
shown by the book of the localities round Jcmsalem, the
intimate acqnaintance of its writers with the Old Testament,
and tJiat not through the medium of the LXX but directly
with the Hebrew, the frequent etymologies resting only on a
Hebrew basis and the Hebraistic style, which is so all per-
vading that there is not a single expression in the book which
does not readily admit of retranslation into Hebrew.
The evidence furnished by Din. is quit« sufficient to esta-
blish a Hebrew original. And his conclusion has been further
and finally confirmed by Hall^vi. This scholar has retrans-
lated the entire book into Hebrew, and in the Journal Aiiatigue,
Avril-Mai, 1867, pp. 552-395, has proved his thesis to demon-
stration. There is much that is far-fetched and more
ingenious than true in this able article, yet none the less
its author has established his contention. As proofs of a
Hebrew original he adduces (i) frequent paronomastic expres-
sions possible only in Hebrew (see Crit. Note on vi. 6); (2)
Hebrew etymolc^es of proper names ; (3) unintelligible
expressions rendered clear by reproduction in Hebrew.
This Hebrew original was first translated into Greek.
Portions of this translation still exist (see pp. 62-y^ 83—85).
It was from this Greek translation that the Ethiopic version

was made. Ethiopic did not exist as a literary language beCore
350 (see Noldeke ' Semitic Languages,' Encye. BriU, 9tli ed.,
vol. xxi. 654). The translatioD of the Bible into Ethi(^ic
was made between 350 and 600, and it ie probable that the
book of Enoch was not made much earlier than the later
date.
The Place of Composition. — There is no room for doubt
as to the Palestinian origin of the book. The various authors
are at home in Palestine and accurately acquainted with the
varbus localities close to Jerusdem, the valleys, brooks, and
other natural features in its immediate neighbourhood. To
them further Jerusalem is the city of the elect, the centre of
the coming Messianic kingdom, and Gehenna is the destined
habitation of the apostate. Greek elements have no doubt
found an entrance iA certain fragments of the book, but as a
rule there is a deliberate and sustained opposition rendered
to all Hellenistic ideas and influences. The whole tone and
exegesis of the book are Palestinian in character.
\ 9. The Object of Afocaliftic Liteaatube.
The object of Apocalyptic literature in general was to solve
the difficulties connected with the righteonsness of Ood and
the suffering condition of his righteous servants on earth.
The righteousness of God postulated according to the Law
the temporal prosperity of the righteous, and postulated this
temporal prosperity of necessity; for as yet there was no
promise of life or recompense beyond the grave. But in the
experience of Qod's servants this connexion of righteonsness
and temporal reward was so often found to fail that the
Psalmists at times go so far as to complain that the best
things of this life are bestowed on the wicked. The difficul-
ties thus arising from this conflict between promise and
experience might be shortly resolved into two, which deal
respectively with the position of the righteous as a com-
munity, and the position of t^e righteous man as an in-

dividnal. The Old Teatsment prophets had concerned them-
selves chiefly with the fonner and pointed in the main to the
restoration of Israel as a nation and to lerael's ultimate
possession of the earth as a reward of their righteousness.
But later with the growing claime of the individual, and the
acknowledgment of these in the religions and intellectual life,
the latter problem pressed itself irresistibly on the notice of
religious thinkers, and made it impossible for any conception
of the divine rule and righteousness to gain acceptance, which
did not render adequate satisfaction to the claims of the
righteous individoal. It was to this difficulty in particular
that Apocalyptic addressed itself, though it did not ignore
the fonner. It strove to show that tJike in respect of the
nation and of the individoal the righteousness of God would
be fully vindicated. In order to justify tbeir contention
Apocalyptic writers sketched in outline the history of the
world and of mankind, the origin of evil and its course, and
the final consnmmation of all thipgs, and thus in fact
presented a Semitic philosophy of religion. The righteous
as a nation should yet possess the earth : even in this world
the faithful community should attain to all its rights either
in an eternal or in a temporary Messianic kingdom. So Apoca-
lyptic taught universally and thus enforced the teaching of
prophecy. As for the destiny of the individual, and here lay
the chief interest and service of Apocalyptic, this was finally
to be determined according to his works. For though tiie
righteous individual might perish amid the disorders of the
world, his death oonld not fall out without God's knowledge,
and though cat ofF here apparently as a sinner, he would not
feul to attain through the resurrection the recompense that
was his due in the Messianic kingdom or in heaven itself.
The conceptions as to this risen life, its duration and character,
vary with each writer.

sider the different writings in this book, their respective
chaiacteristicB and dates, and the various accounts they offer

\ 10. Thb dif?beiint Elements in the Book of Enoch,
WITH THEia EE8FECTITX C HAKACTEBISTICS AlfD DaTBS.
The book of Enoch is a fragmentaiy ettrvivsl of an entire
literature that once circulated under his name. To this fact
the plurality of books assigned to Enoch from the first may
in some degree point : as for instance the expression ' books '
in civ. 13 : Book of Jnbileea iv; vii ; Test. XII. Fatriarcb. Jud.
1 8 ; Origcn c, Celmm v. 54 ; in Num. Homtl. zxviii. 2 (Ed.
LommatEch) ; Aug. He Ctv. Dei xt. 23 ; and Q-. Syncellus,
p. 20 (Ed. Uindorf.) 'the first book.'
This presumption becomes, a matter of demonstration on
the following grounds. The referendes to Enoch's writings in
tbe Book of Jubilees anjl in the Test. XII. Patriarch, cannot
in many instances be traced to the existing book of Enoch.
The last passage attributed by Syncellus to Enoch has no
corresponding part in the Ethiopic. Portions of tbe Ethiopic
version are manifestly lost, as, for instance, the close of the
first Similitude. And finally two Slavonic MSS. have been
recoitly published, in Russia which belong to this literature
and yet differ from the Ethiopic Enoch throughout in diction
and matter.
This preliminary conclusion is finally confirmed on internal
grounds. All critics are agreed in ascribing the Similitudes
ixxvii-lxxi to a different authorship from the rest For the
main grounds for this conclasi<ni see pp. 106-107. Criticism
is further agreed as to the presence of a large body of inter-
polations. But the interpolations are far more numerous than
has hitherto been observed, and the discrimination and due
appreciation of these are indispensable to the understanding
of the book. They are found throughout the book, and are
as follows: —

to the same source, but only indirectly in their present form,
as they appear to be of the nature of a mosaic. We can
hardly be wrong in ascribing them largely to the authorship
of the editor who brought all the writings into one whole,
cv may be due to the same editor, cviii is undoubtedly a
later addition.
Disr^arding the closing chapter we find that there are
thus three distinct elements in the book : —
(a) The so-called ground-work i-xxxvi ; lzxii-<nv.
ifi) The Similitudes xxxvii — ^Ixx.
(y) The Noachian and other interpolations, as given above.
The question now arises : are we justified in regarding
i-ixxvi, Ixxii-civ aa proceeding from the same author? This
question is discussed at length in the Special Introductions
to sections i-xxzvi; Ixxii-lxxxii ; Ixxxiii-zc; and xci-civ,
and it is there shown that these four sections are distinct
writings as to authorship, system of thought, and date. We
will not resume here the gronnde for this eonclusion, but will
sketch briefly the various independent writings contained in
the book of Enoch, with their respective characteristics and
dates.

170 B.C. and miunly from tbe prophetic standpoint of such
chs. as Is. Ixv-lxvi. This is, undoubtedly, tbe oldest part of
the book, being anterior to Ixxii-lxxziij lnxiii-xc;andxci-ciT
(see Special Introductions). It is laid under eontributioa by
the authors of these sections. As Ixxziii-xc was written not
later than 161 B.C. i— xxxvi must be some years earlier, and
further, as there is not the &intest alluaion to the persecutions
and massacres of Antiocbus Epiphanes, we are probably safe
in fixing on 170 b. c. as the latest limit possible for its com-
positioD. This hook i.e. i-xxxvi is noteworthy as being most
probably the first to mention the resurrection of the righteous
and the wicked : to describe Sheol according to the concep-
tion accepted later in tbe New Testament as opposed to that
of tbe Old Testunent : and to represent Gehenna as a final
place of punishment. In other respects the writer of i-xxxri
has not advanced much beyond the Old Testament prophetic
view of tbe Messianic kingdom. This kingdom, he holds, is
to be ushered in by tbe resurrection of the righteous and tbe
wicked (with the exception of one class of the latter) followed
immediately by the final judgment. The wicked angels,
demons, and men were to be punished according to their
deserts, and the righteous to become members of the eternal
Messianic kingdom. The scene of tbe kingdom was to be
the earth purged from all violence and sin. Peace, and hap-
piness, and prosperity were to prevail everywhere. Sin should
never again appear on the earth, and after a life crowned with
all good things, and blessed with patriarchal years and num-
berless offspring, tbe righteous w^% at length to die in peace>
as in Is. Ixv-lxvi.
It is manifest here that the writer apprehended neither the
thought of the immortality of the soul, which was pressing
itself on the notice of Judaism from the side of the Greek,
nor the doctrine of the resurrection of the righteous to an
eternal blessedness which was seeking recognition from tbe
side <A Zoroaetrianism.

B c, aoA mainly from the same standpoiat as Daniel. The
grounds for discriminatiiig this section from the rest are g^ven
at length in the Special Introductions to those sections.
We find there that the writer of Ixxxiii-sc has made
use of i-xxxvL He is moreover of an ascetic turn of
mind. These visions came to him before he was married,
the implication being that he has no such superaatoral ex-
periences after marriage. But as visions are inferior to actual
waking intercourse with the angels, such as Enoch enjoyed
in i-xxxvi, it is clear even on this single ground that these
two parts are from different aathors.
The writer of Ixxxiii-M has advanced oonsiderably beyond
the naive and sensuons views of the kingdom presented in
i-zxxvi His conceptions are more spiritual. He writes a few
years later thui the last chapters of Daniel, and like the latter
has risen to the conception of an everlasting blessedness. He
may be indebted to this writer for the fourfold division of
the seventy angel reigns among the four great world powers
to which, in succession, Israel was subject, and the phrase
'glorions limd' (Ixzxix. 40, cf. Dan. xi. 16, 41) may be
dmwn from the same source. His eachatoli^cal views are
developed at greater length than those of Daniel, but he
follows in some respects prophetic rather than apocalyptic
ideas. In Daniel the final crisis is sudden and nnnLediated,
but in Izxziii-xo it is ushered in through the warlike efforts
of the Chaeids led by Judas Maccabaens. In this strife the
heathen enemies of Israel are destroyed. Then ensue the
judgment and condenmation of the fallen watchers, the faith-
less angel shepherds, and the apostate Jews.
The judgment appears to be followed by the resurrection of
righteous Israelites only: if this is bo, then this book diverges
from the teaching of Daniel xii. i, 2 and the earlier book of
Enoch i-xxxvi. The righteous Jews are all assranbled in the
New Jerusalem established by Qod Himself, and their ranks
are swelled by those Gentiles who had hitherto been neutral,
but are now converted to the worship of Israel's Ood. At

the close of all appears tlie Meesiah. This is the earliest
reference to the Messiah in non-canonical liteisture. Bat he
has no idle to play : he has not as yet vindicated for himself
a real place in the Apocalyptic doctrine of the last things.
This Mesdanic kin^om lasts on eulh for ever, and its
members enjoy everlasting blessedness.
Part III, consisting of ici-civ, and written between 134-
94 B. c, or possibly 1 04-94 b. c. For a detailed criticism of this
writing and its relations see Special Introduotion to this part.
As we pass from Ixxxiii-xc to xci-civ we feel we are
entering into a worid of new conceptions. In all previous
Apocalyptic writings, the resurrection and the final judgment
have been the prelude to an everlasting Messianic kingdom ;
but here we encounter quite a new schema of the last things.
These great events are relegated to the close of the Messianic
kingdom, and not till then in &ct do the righteous enter
on their reward. In this writer we have a fosion of pro-
phetic and apocalyptic ideas, but a fusion which, without
doing actual violence to either, gives expression to both in a
profonnder and more comprehensive system. As we see in
such Apocalyptic writings as the Apocalypse of Bamch,
iv Ezra and Bevektion, that an adequate fulfilment is given
to the promise that the righteoos should inherit the earth
through the establishment of a temporary Messianic kingdom:
so in xci-civ the Messianic kingdom, in which the righteous
possess the earth in peace, lasts from the eighth to the close
of the tenth week. In this kingdom no place is found for a
personal Messiah : the righteous, with God's help, vindicate
their just cause and destroy their oppressors. On the close
of this kingdom follow the final judgment and the risen
spiritual life of blessedness in a new heaven. From such a
view of the future it is obvious tJbat for the writer the centre
of interest has passed from the material world to the spiritual,
and the Messianic kingdom is no longer the goal of the hopes
of the righteous. Their faith finds its satisfaction only in a
blessed immortality in heaven itself. The righteous, it is

true, wlio are living on the advent of the Meesiaoic kingdom
will indeed be recompensed witli alt good things, but the
departed righteous will not rise thereto, but will find their
reward in the everlasting spiritual bliss that is the inheritance
of all Ijie faithful after the final Judgment. In the meantime
they are at rest, guarded as the apple of an eye by the angels
of God, and will in due time, on the close of the Messianic
kingdom, attain to the reenrrection. ThiB resurrection of the
righteous appears not to be of the body but of the soul only,
as we find in a later hook, the Psalms of Solomon, or in the
still later Book of Jubilees. As for the wicked they wOl
descend into the pain of Sheol and abide there everlastingly.
Here Sheol appears as Hell for possibly the first time.
The writer of this section lived towards the close of the
second century b. c. He was a Pharisee strongly opposed
to all hellenizing tendencies, but apparently influenced by
kindred Zoroastnan ideas. His chief denunciations are
directed against the Sadducees, These oppress the righteous,
and the rulers who are in league with them connive at their
oppression. The persecution which the righteous undergo is
severe, but far removed from the murderous oppression of
which they were the victims from 95 b. c. onwards. We
may therefore regard this book as written before that date,
and aft«r the breach between J. Hyrcanus and the Pharisees,
i.e. between 134 and 95 b. c. ; or if we may take c 2 to be

The Similitudes introduce us to the events and aspirations
of a time not &r removed in years from the period we have
just been considering but very remote in character. The

shght consequence compared with their afflictions of this
later date. Their plaint 'ib no longer now of the greed and

avarice of the rich; of their enperetitioDS and idolatries, their
heUenistic tendencies and apostasies. For their grief they
have now g^raver and more abundant reason. Their hlood is
now crying to heaven for vengeance. Their foea, moreover,
are not as in xci-eiv the Sadducees secretly hacked by the
rulers of the nation, but the rulers themselves are now their
foremost and declared oppressors, and take the chief part in
their destruction. These rolers are liie Maccabean princes,
and not the Uerods ; for as yet there is no reference to Kome,
though we know that Rome interposed authoritatively in tli6
afCairs of Palestine about 64 b. c. The widespread influence
of the book on the writers of the New Testament (see pp.
41—53) witnesses in the same direction, and is innplicable on
any date subsequent to the time of the Maccabees. The date
of the Similitudes therefore must be lat«r than 95 and before
64 B. c, or more precisely between 95-80 b. c. or 70-64 b. c.
For the fuller treatment of this subject see pp. 107—108, and
the notes referred to there.
The varying relations in which the Maccabees stand to the
Chasid or Pharisaic party are faithfully reflected in the books
of Enoch. In Izxziii-xc the Maccabees are the leaders of the
righteous, and their efforts form the prelude to the Messianic
kingdom. In xci-civ they are no longer regarded as the
chiefs and friends of the Chaside, and yet they have not
become their open foes. Th^ are, however, the secret
abettors of their Sadducean oppressors. But when we turn
to the Similitudes the scene is wholly changed. The Mac-
cabeans are now the open and declared enemies of the
Pharisees and add to their other guilt the slaying of the
righteous.
It is still more instructive to observe the concepticms
r^arding the Messiah to which the writers of these hooks
were led by the events of their times. In Ixxxiii-xe we have
the Messiah coming forth from the bosom of the community.
He is a man only, but yet a glorified man and superior to the
community from which he springs. So iax as he is a man

only, he may be regarded as the prophetic Meesiah as opposed
to the Apocalyptic Messiah of the Similitudes: and yet he is not
truly tJie prophetic Messiah ; for he has absolutely do function
to perform, and he does not appear till the world's history is
finally closed. Accordingly his presence here most be ac-
counted for purely through literajy reminiscence, and the hope
of the Messiah must be r^arded as practically dead at this
period. The vriter felt no need of such a personality so
long as the nation had such a chief as Judas Maccabaeus.
It was very different fifty years or more later, when the
fondest enthusiasts could no longer look to the Asmonaeans
for any help or stay in the time of their distress. Accord-
ingly the writer of xci-cir refers only once to the recreant
chiefs of the nation as secret upholders of the enemies of the
righteous, and dii^ts the thoughts of his readers no longer
to a religious monarchy but to a religious commonwealth or
restored theocracy established by the righteous themselves,
and owning no head but Ood alone. This Messianic kingdom,
further, which was without a Messiah, was to have only a
temporary continuance, and heaven was to be the true and
final abode of the righteous. Once more, as we turn to a
somewhat later book, we find in the Similitudes that the
ixremediable degradation and open hostility of the Maccabees
have caused the hopes and aspirations of religious thinkers to
take various directions. Of these some retiuned to a fresh
study of the Old Testament, and revived, as io the Psalms of
Solomon, the expectation of a prophetic Messiah, sprang from
the hoose and lineage of David. Others followed the bold
and oiigiRal thinker of this period, who, starting from a
su^estive phrase in Daniel, conceived the Messiah as the
supematonl Son of Man, who, possessing divine preroga-
tives, sboold destroy the wicked, and justify the righteous,
and vindicate a transformed heaven and earth as their habita-
tion for everlasting. For a full account of the Messiah of the
Similitudes we must refer the reader to the notes on xlvi. 3,
and xxxviii. 2.

The teaching of the Similitudes Btaads throughout in clear
contrast to that of xci-civ. Whilst in the latter there is no
Messinh, in the former the conception of the Messiah plays a
more important role than had ever yet been assigned to him.
In the former, again, there seems to be only a resurrection of
the righteous; in the latter a reenrrectioD of all Israelites.
In the former the Messianic kingdom was only temporary ;
in the latter it was of everlasting continuance. In the former
the final judgment was held at the close of the Messianic
kingdom; in the latter at its banning. In the former
there was a resurrection of the spirit only, in the latter of the
body also.
Part V, — Tbe Book of Celestial Physics consisting of
Ixxii-lxzviii ; Ixxxii ; Ixxix. There are no materials at hand
for fixing the date of this section. In the Special Intro-
duction to this part we have shown at some length that it is
an independent writing, and distinct originally from all the
other constituents of the book. A close examination of this
section leads manifestly to the excision of kxx-lxxxi, and to
tbe restoration of Ixxxii to its original position before Ixxix.
The object of the writer is a quasi-scientific one. His aim b
to justify the Hebrew calendar against the heathen calendan,
and particularly tbe Greek, and to insist on the value of the
moon as an infallible divider of time till the new Creation.
The only blessing pronounced by him is for those who sin not
as the sinners in the reckoning of their days (Ixxxii. 4). The
interpolator of Ixxx-lxxxi was a man of quite a different
type. His sympathies were wholly moral and religious.
There is an order of nature, it is true, but this order is con-
tinually thrown into disorder by the sin of men, and the
moon thus becomes a mieleader of men (Ixxx. 4). Accord-
ingly we are not surprised to find that the blessing pronounced
by this writer is on the man against whom there is no
record of unrighteousness (Ixzxi. 4).

tniBt to internal erideace, it would appear that nearly all
these interpolations were added by tbe editor who put the
different books together, and sought by means of his additions
from an existing Apocalypse of Noah, and possibly from
elsewhere, to give a complete account of the different great
world judgments. When this editing took place we cannot
determine definitely, but we may with safety conclude that
it waa before the beginning of the Christian era. The con-
tents of these interpolations — which deal with a vast variety
of sabjects, such as the books «f Noah, the deluge, the evil
wrought by the Satans and t^e fallen angels, the secrete of
celestial phenomena, and other cabbalistic lore — do not admit
of being shortly summarised.
§ XI. The IsFLrENCB of Enoch on Jewish and Patbistic
LlTEBATDBB AND ON THE NbW TbSTAHXNT IK FUKASEO-
LooT, Ideas, and Doctbinb.
The book of Enoch exercised a very important influence on
the Christian and Jewish literature of the first three centuries
A. D. The first notice of a book of Enoch appears to be due
to a Jewish or Samaritan Hellenist (bo Schiirer). This notice,
which hae come down to us successively through Alexander
Polyhistor and Eusebius, asserts that Enoch was the fomider of
Astrology : cf. Euseb. Praep. Evang. ix. 17.8 (Gaisford) twtqv
fiipt\Kipat vp&Tov Tiiv iarpokoylav.
The Impltjekce op Enoch on Jewish Literatoee.
Excluding for the present the coosideration of the New
Testament and of Christian testimonies generally, the book
of Enoch was probably used by the author of the Assumption
of Moses written about the Christian Era. Cp. iv. 8 — Tristes
et gementes quia non poterint referre immolationes Domino
patrum suorum with En. Ixxzix. 73 : and x. 3, 4—£xiet de

En. i. 5, 6, ' onto the ends of the earth — the high monutoins
will be shaken and — made low.'
In the Book of JubUeet, written before 70 A. D., £noch is
largely drawn upon : cp. Book of Jubilees —

wrought — in foriaking the covenant ' with En. Itttjit.

The dependence of this book on Enoch is still more evident
if we may regard it as proceeding firom one author ; for it re-
produces in the main the conceptions of En. xci-eiv save that
it expects a Messiah. Thus in this Apocalypse of Baruch the
Messianic Kingdom is only of temporary duration. The
Messiah reigns till sin is at an end Ixxiv. 2, 3. During his
reign the earth yields 10,000 fold, and there are no pre-
mature deaths. At the close of this period the Messiah
returns to heaven and the resurrection ensues I-li. 6, The

Thb Implcbkcb oj Enoch on the New Testament.
The influence of Enoch on the New Testament has been
greater than that of all the other apocryphal and pseud-
epigraphal books taken together. The evidence for this
conclusion may for the sake of convenience be arranged under
two heads. (A) A series of passages of the New Testament
which either in phraseology or idea directly depend on or are
illustrative of passages in Enoch. (B) Doctrines in Enoch
which had an undoubted share in moulding the corresponding
New Testament doctrines.

50 The Book of Enoch.
(B) Doctrines in Enoch which had an undoubted share in
moulding the corresponding New Testament doctrines, or are
at all events necessaiy to the comprehension of the latter.
(a) The nature of the Messianic Itingdom and of the future
life.
{h) The Messiah.
(c) Sheol and the Resurrection.
{d") Demonology.
(a) The Kingdom. We shall only deal with one incident
coming under this headj it is found in the three Synoptists:
S. Matt xxii. 23-53 ; S. Mark xii. 18-37 J S. Luke xx. 27-36.
This incident can only be rightly understood from Enoch.
When the Sadducees said, ' Whose wife shall she be of them ?
for the seven had her to wife,' they are arguing from the sen-
suous conception of the Messianic kingdom — and this was no
doubt the popular one— given in £d. i-xzxvi, according to
which its merabere, including the risen righteous, were to enjoy
every good thing of earth and have each a thousand children.
The Sadducees thought thereby to place this young prophet
on the horns of a dilemma, and oblige Him to confess either
that there was no resurrection of the dead, or else that
polygamy or polyandry would be practised in the coming
kingdom. But the dilemma proves invalid: and the con-
ception of the future life portrayed in our Lord's reply tallies
almost exactly in thought, and partially in word, with that
described in En. zci-civ, according to which there is t« be a
resurrection indeed, but a resurrection of the spirit, and the
risen righteous are to r^oice 'as the angels of heaven'
(En, civ. 4j S. Matt. xxii. 30J S. Mark xii. 35), 'being
companions of the heavenly hosts ' (En. civ. 6).
{b) The Messiah. The Messiah is referred to in xc. 37, 38.
He is represented as Uie head of the Messianic community
out of which He proceeds, but He has no special rdle to fnlfil
and His presence in that description seems due merely to
literary reminiscence. This Messiah-reference exercised no
influence on New Testament conceptions. But with regard
ilizedbyGoOC^IC
General Introduction. 51
to the Messiah described in the Similitudes the case is very
different. Four titles applied for the first time in Uterature
to the personal Messiah in the Similitudes aie afterrrards
reproduced in the New Testament, These are 'Christ' or
' the Anointed One/ ' the Righteous One,' ' the Elect One,' and
' the Son of Man.'
' Ckriti ' OT 'tie Anointed One.' This title, found repeatedly
in earlier writings but always in reference to actual con-
temponuy kings or priests, is now for the first time — see
xlviii 10 ; lii. 4 — applied to the ideal Messianic king that is
to come. It is associated here with supernatural attributes.
A few years later in another writingj the Psalms of Solomon
(xvii. 56; xviii. 6, 8), it possesses quite a different connota-
tion. In those Psalms the Messiah, though endowed with
divine gifts, is a man and nothing more, and springs from
the house of David.
' Tie Righteout One.' This title, which occurs in Acts iii.
14; vii. 52j xxii. 14 (cp. 1 S. John ii 1), first appears in
Enoch as a Messianic designation ; see En. xxxviii. 2 ; liii, 6.
Righteousness is one of the leading characteristics of the
Messiah, zlvi. 3.
*Tie Elect One' This title likewise appearing first in
Enoch, xl. 5 ; xlv. 3-4 ; xlix. », 4 j U. 3, 5, &c., passes over
into the New Testament, S. Luke is. 35 ; xxiii. 35, ' The
Christ, the Elect One.' In the Old Testament we find 'Mine
Elect,' Is. xlii. i, but not 'the Elect One.'
'The Son cf Man' This definite title {see notes on xlvi.
2, 3) is found in the Book of Enoch for the first time in
Jewish litorature, and is, historically, the source of the New
Testament designation, imd contributes to it some of its most
characteristic contents. For an account of the relations
between the Enochic and New Testament uses of this title,
we must refer to the Appendix on ' The Son of Man ' at the
close of tiie book.

inent signification. For the history of thia word and its
meanings, see note on Ixii. lo.
It is further interesting to note that the writer of xci-civ
delivers himself of a sustained polemic in cil 4-Giv. 9 against
the Old Testament doctrine of Sheol, and the faot that this
writer in xci. 4 borrows Ecdus. l 25 makes it probable that
the immediate book he had in view is Ecclesiaeticus, which
enforces dogmatically and repeatedly the Old Testament
doctrine of Sheol.
The BESUBKSCTioir. 1^ doctrine, which is first taught
beyond possibility of doabt in Dan. xii, though a true
ez^fesis will find many intimations of the doctrine in earlier
books, was made a common-place of Jewish theology by the
book of Enoch. For the various forms this doctrine assumed,
see note on IL i.
{A') The Deuonology of Enoch reappears Cor the most part
in the New TesWuent.
(a) The angels which kept not their first estate, S. Jnde 6 ;
2 S. Pet, ii. 4, are the angelic watchers who fell from
lusting after the daughters of men, and whose £aU and
punishment are recounted in En. vi-xvi. They have always
been imprisoned in darkness from the time of their falL
(^) Demons. These are, according to Enoch xvi, i, the
spirits which went forth from the souls of the giants who
were the children of the &llen angels and the daughters of
men. These demons were to work moral ruin on the earth
without hindrance till the final judgment as disembodied
spirits,
80 in the New Testament. The demons are dis^abodied
spirite, S. Matt. xii. 43-45 ; S. Luke xi 24-26. They are
not punished till the final jndgment : S. Matt. viii. 29, 'Art
Thou come hither to torment us i^w-e the time ? ' They are
subject to Satan, S. Matt xii 34-28.
(y) Satan appears in Enoch as the ruler of a conntor king-
dom of evil, yet a kingdom subject to the Lord of Spirits. He
led astray the angels and made them his subjects, liv. 6; Ixix. 5.

So in the New Testament there is the counter-kingdom of
sin, S. Matt. xii. 26; S. Luke xi. 18; 'if Satan cast out
Satan, how shall his kingdom stand ? ' Satan led astray the
angels. Rev. xiL 4, and led astray nmn, 2 Cor. xi. 3. The

impotent sinners are delivered over to Satan for punishment.

Problem and it* Solution.
A. Critioal Stmotore. For tbe relation of this Section to tlie
rest of his book, see Oeuentl Introdaction (p. 26). This Section in
at once incomplete and composite. To determine its origiiial form
is perfectly bopelees ; it has enffered &om all the evile incident to
tradition and unscrupulous interpolation. It ia impossible to
regard it aa a complete work in itself, and its leading ideas
preclude our finding its original complement in the other Sections
of the book. It is composite in character, not to apeak of exten-
tdre interpolations (i.e. xrii-xix). There are two distinct world-
conceptions present. In xii-xvi the transcendence of Ood is
pictured in an extreme degree. He dwells in heaven in a crystal
palace of fire, into which not even an angel may enter, xiv. 9-23 ;
whereas in i-xi, xx-xxxvi, the old Ud>rew ttandpoint ia fftirly
preserved. Ood will come down to judge on Sinai, i. 4 ; the
Messianic kingdom will be established on earth, and all ain will
vanish, x. 17-23 ; the chambers of blessing in heaven will be
opened, xi. i ; Jerusalem will be the centre of the Messianic king-
dom, xxT. g ; and Ood Himself will come down to visit the earth with
blessing, and will sit on His throne on earth, xxt. 3 ; men will enjoy
patriarchal lives, and die in happy old age, v. 9; x. 17; xxt. 6.
There are many interpolations: vi. 3-8; viii. 1-3; ix. 7; x. 1-3;
xvii— xix. The peculiarity attaching to these interpolations is

Sections are likewise independent; bat the author of the latter

O. Its Date. As i-xxxvi is anterior to Uzxiii-xo, the oldest
of the remaining Sections of the book, and aa that Section mnst
haTe been writton before )6t b. c. we have thus the latest
possible date of the composition of i-xxxvi. But it is hi^y
probable, that it was writton much earlier, earlier in bot than the
persecution under Antiochus ; for to the horrors of that persecn-
tion, which impressed themBelves so strongly on the author of
Daniel, and of En. hoodii-xc there is not the bintest allusion
in i-xxxvi.
D. The Problem and itc SolntioiL The author essaya to
justify the ways of God. The righteous will not always suffer,
and the wicked will not always proBi>er, i. i. The limits thereto
ure set by death, xxii, and by great world judgments. But the
cure of the world's corruption can only be understood by appre-
hending its cause, and this cause is to be traced to the lust of the
fallen Watchers for the daughters of men. Original sin stands not
in the following of Adam — whose sin seems limited in its effects to
himself, xxxii. 6 — ^hnt in the evil engendered through the Watchers,
ix. fi, 9, 10; X. 8. Hence the Watchers, their companions and
children were destroyed, x. 4-10, la ; and their condemnation and
confinement form the prelude to the first world judgment, of
which the Deluge forms the completion, x. 1-3. But though only
the righteous survived the Delnge, sin still prevailed in the world
through the demons — the spirits which had gone forth &om the
slaughtered children of the Watchers and the daughters of men,
and all manner of corruption was wrought through them, xvi. i, as
they escape punishment till the final judgment. But the recom-
pense of character is not withheld till the last judgment ; there is
a foretaeto of the final doom immediatoly after death, xxii. In tiie
second and last judgment on Sinai, i. 4, the Watchers, the demons,

judgment is preceded by a General Iteaurrection of Israel, zxii.
A final end is now made of sin on the earth, and the earth cleansed,
X. 15, 16, 30-33 ; the wicked are cart into Gehenna, and their
punishment is a apectacle for the ri<;hteou8 to behold, xxvii. 3 ; the
Messianic kingdom is established, with Jerusalem and Palestine as
its cmtre, xxr. 5 — there is no Messiah, and Ood abides with men,

and thereby enjoy patriarchal lives, v. 9 ; xiv. 6, begetting 1000

were seized with fear and trembling. 4. And they besought
me to draw up a petition for them that they might find
forgiveness, and to take their petition into the presence of
God in heaven. 5. For from thenceforward they could not
speak (witii Him) nor lift up their eyes to heaven for shame
of their sins for which they were punished. 6. Then I
composed their petition and the prayer on behalf of their spirit,

spake to him ; ' Whose spirit is that one yonder whose voice
thoB penetrates (to heaven) and complains?' 7. And he

which went forth from Abel, whom his brother Cain slew,
and he keeps complaining of him till his seed is destroyed
from the face of the earth, and his seed disappears from
amongst the seed of men.' 8. And therefore at that time I
asked r^arding faim, and regarding the judgment of all,
' Why is one separated from the other ? ' 9. And he
answered me and spake to me : ' These three divisions are made
to separate the spirits of the dead. And the souls of the'
righteous are thus separated (fi'om the rest) .- there is a
spring of water and light above it. 10. Such a (division}

THE SIMIUTDDSS. INTRODUCTION.
A. Critieal Strueture. B. Sdaiion of xxxvii-lxxl to th» reH of
the ho^ C. DaU. D. The Probhm and iu Sotutum.
A. CSritioal Stmatnre, This Section gives on the whole
a coneisteiit apocalyptic u distinguished from a prophetic picture
of the future, and may be regarded, as coming from one and the
same hand. It contains, however, numeraiia and extenaive inter-
poktions, i.e. xxxix. i, 2»; sli. 3-8; xliii ; xliv; 1; liv. 7-lv, 2;
Ivi. S-lvii. 3*; liz; Iz; Ixv-lxix. 35; Ixzi. These interpoktions,
with the exception possifaty of 1 ; Iti. 5-lvii. 3'; Uxi, are drawn
from an already eziBting Apocalypse of I^oah and adapted by their
editor to their adjoining contests in Enoch. This he does by
borrowing characteristic terms, euoh as ' Lord of Spirits,' ' Head of
Days,' ' Son of Man,' to which, however, either through ignorance
or of set intention he generally gives a new connotation : see Notea
for details. 1; Ivi. s-lvii. 3* may be from the same hand, bnt
belong rather to the prophetic than to the Apocalyptic school of
thought. Ixxi ie of the nature of a mosaic and is modelled, as
Kostlin saw (Tiuol. Jahr. 1856, p. 378), on ch. xiv, and on
various sections of the Similitndea, of which it appears to ^ye
a deliberate perversion. See Notes.
B. Belatlon of xzxvU-lzxi to the rest of the book. As all
critics are now agreed that the Similitudes are distinct in origin
from the rest of the book, there is no occasion ibr treating ex-
haustively the grounds for this conclusion. Accordingly, we shall
give here only a few of the chief characteristics whioh differentiate
this Section from sU the other Sections of the book. (a) Ifamea
of Ood flsund (miy In xxxvli-txxl, ' Lord of Spirits ' (passim);

Introduction. . 1 07
'Head of Days' (zlvi. 2); 'Lord of the Highty' (Ixiii. a); 'Lord
of the Ralers'(lxiii. 3); 'Lord of Wisdom '(Ixiii. a). (6) Ai>s«l-
olog7. The four chief angela in xxxni-lxzi are Michael, Bniael,
Gabriel, and Fannel. Fanael is not mentioned elsewhere in the
book, whicb gives Uriel instead. In xiv. il Gbd is surronnded
by Cherubim: but in Ixi. 10; Ixxi. 6, by Cherubim, Serft-
pbim, and Ophaoim, angels of power, and angels of dominions.
The angel of peace (xL 8) is also peculiar to the Similitudes,
(c) Domoiiologjr. In the other Sections of the book the mns of
the angels consisted in their lusting after the daughters of men
(vi-viii), bat in liv. 6 in their becoming subjecta of Satan. In xxirii-
Isx an evil spirit-world is presupposed ftwa tbe beginning, but not
in the reet of the book. Satan and the Satane, xl. 7; lili. 3; liv. 6,
are not even mentioned in the other Sections. These have access
to heaven, il. 7, whereas in the other Sections only good angels have
access there. Tbe angels of punishment also are found for the first
time in xxxvii-lxxL (if) The Heaalanio doctrine in xxxvii-lxx
is unique, not only as r^ards the other Sections of Enoch, bub
also in Jewish literatnre as a whole. The Messiah pre-exists
xlviii. a (note) &om the beginning : be aits on the throne of Ood,
xlvii. 3, and possesses universal dominion, Ixii. ti ; all judgment is
committed unto bim, Ixix^ 37, and he slays the wicked by the word
of his month, Ixii. a. Taming to the other Sections we find tbat
there is no Messiah in i— xxxvi and in xci-civ, while in Ixxxiii-xc
the Messiah b evidently human and possesses none of the great
attributes belonging to the Messiah of the Similitudes. (s) The
^cffiff of tlie TlfniinlaTilfi kdngdom in i--xxxvi is Jerusalem and the
earth purified from sin ; in ixxxiii-xc, a heavenly Jerusalem set
up by Ood Himself; in xci-civ, Jerusalem and the earth as
they are ; but in xxxvii-lxz, a new heaven and a new earth,
zlv. 4, 6 (note). Again, the duration lA the H eeaianio Ungdom
in i-zxxvi is eternal, but the life of its members limited. The
duration of the Mesmanic kingdom in Izxziil-xo is eternal, and
the life of its members eternal (!). The daration of the Uesuanic
kingdom in xci-dv is limited, and the life of its members limited.
(In xci-civ the real interest centres, not in the Messianic kiQg-
dom, but in the future spiritual life of the righteous.) But
tbe duration of the Messianic kingdom in xxxvii-lxx is eternal,
and the life of its members eternal.
C. Date. From a full review of the evidence, which is given
and discussed in the notes on xxxvili. 5, it appears that the kings

and the mighty so often denounced in the Similitudes are the later
Maccabean princeB and their Sadducean sopporters — the later
Maccabean princes, on the one hand, and not the earlier ; for the
blood of the righteous waa not shed as the writer complains (zlvii.
I, z, 4) before 95 B.C.: the later Uaccabean princes, on the other
hand, and not the Herodiaos; for (i) the Saddnceea were not
supporters of the latter, and (3) Rome was not as yet known to
the writer as one of the great world-powen — a &ct which neces-
sitatee an earlier date than 64 B.c^ when Borne interposed
authoritatively in the afbirs of Judaea. Thus the date of tlie
Similitudes conld not have been earlier than 94 b. c. or later than
64 B. c. But it is possible to define the date more precisely.
Ab the Pharisees enjoyed unbroken power and prosperity under
Alexandra T9-70 b.c., the Similitudes most be assigned either
to the years 94-79 or 70-64. Finally, if we consider that Ivi. 5-
IviL 3" is an interpolation, and that this passage most have been
written and interpolated before 64 B.C., the Similitudes might reason-
ably be referred to the years 94-79. See also Qen. Introd., p. 30.
D. The Froblem and ita SolntioiL Seeing that Ood ia a
just Ood, how comes it that wickedness is throned in high places
and that righteousness is oppressed 1 Is there no end to the
prosperity and power of unbelieving rulers, and no recompense
of reward for the suffering righteous % The author (in the geouine
portions) finds the answer in a oomprehenBive view of the world's
history : only by tracing evil to its source can the present wrong-
nesa of things be undwstood, and only by parsaing the world's
history to its final issnes can it« present inequalities be justified.
The author haa no interest save for the moral and spiritual worlds,
and this is manifeBt even in the divine names ' Lord of Spirits,'
' Head of Days,' ' Most High.' Whole hierarchies of angelic beings
appear in Ixi. lo-iz. His view is strongly apocalyptic, and
follows closely in the wake of Daniel. The origin of Sin is traced
one stage Jtirther back than in i-xxzvi. The first authors of sin
were the Satans, the advemries of man, xl. 7. The Watchers fell
through becoDUBg Bubject to these, and leading mankind astray,
liv. 6. Punishment was at once meted out \a the Watchers, and
they were confined in a deep abyss, liv. 5, to await the final jndg*
ment, liv. ti ; Iv. 4 ; Ixiv. In the meantime sin flourishee in the
world : sinners deny the name of the Lord of Spirits, xxxviii. a ;
xli. 3, and of His Anointed, xlviii. 10; the kings and the mighty
of the earth trust in their sceptre and glory, Ixiii. 7, and

by IT Ezra vL 3 : ' Behold and see him, (i) whom ye have denied ;
(3) whom ye have not served (so Ethiopic version) ; (3) whose
commands ye have demised.' Here daose (a) corresponds to clause
(i) in Enoch; clause (i) to clause (2) in Enoch; and clause (3)
vaguely to clanse (3) in Enoch. See General Introduction (p. 37),
where we have shown several points of connexion between Third
Vision of iv Ezra and Enoch. Dln.'s text gives ' Those who bow
to the righteous judgment '; but to class these with die sceptics
and peijurers as alike threatened by the coming judgment is
impossible. Eall^vi {^Jinvmal Aiiat. 367-9; 1867) fii^ pointed

jndged is a testimony for the kings and the mighty and for
those who possess the earth. 13. Because these waters of
judgment minigter to the healing of tiie body of the longs

confusion of D*3^pp ' aagels ' with D^?2^ ' kings.' Hallevi thinks
that ' angels ' in verse 1 1 should similarly be changed into ' kings,'

supported thronghont by 1£, and in the first clause ' to the healing

of the spirit transports and provokes me : yet as regards the
rigour of the judgment of the secrets, the judgment over the
angels, who can endure the rigorous judgment which is
passed, before which they melt away "}' 3. And Michael
answered again and spake to Bufael : 'Who is he whose heart
is not softened concerning it, and whose reins are not troubled
by this word of judgment that has been passed upon them —
upon those whom they have thus led out P ' 4. And it
came to pass when he stood before the Lord of Spirits,

this is the power of that oath, for it is powerful and strong,

And these ore the secrets of this oath, and the heav^i was

THE BOOK OF CBLESTIAL PHYSICa INTBODUCTION.
A. Jit Critiedl Siruetttra and Object. R. Ift Independence of
i-xzzvL C. Ita Calendar and the knowledge therein implied.
A. Oritieal Stmotare and Object. Cbaptor Ixxii intro-
dnces us to ft scientifia treatise. In this, treatige the writer
attemplB to bring the many atterancee regarding phyBical pheno-
mens into one ByBtem, uid pats this forward as the genuine and
biblical one as opposed to all other Byttems. The parftmonnt,
and indeed the only aim of this book according to Ixzii. i, is
to give the laws of the heavenly bodies, and this olgect; it pnnmes
nndeviatingly from its beginning to Ixxix. i, vhere it is said that
the trefttise is finished and all the laws of the heavenly bodies
set forth. Through all these chsptere there u not a single ethical
reference. The author has no other interest save a soientific
one coloured by Jewish conceptions and beliefs. As a Jew he
upholds the accuracy of the moon as a divider of time, Isxiv. 1 1 :
■ The moon brings in all the years exactly, so that their position
is not prematurely advanced or delayed by a ungle day onto
eternity.' And this order is inflexible : there will be no change
in it till the new creation, Ixzii. i. So far, then, we have to
deal with a complete and purely scientific treatise, in which
there is no breach of uniformity till the new creation. But the
moment we have done with Izxix, we pats into a new atmo^here.
The whole interest is ethieal and nothing elie: there is, indeed,
such a thing as an order of natui-e, but, owing to the sin of men,
this order is more oonspicnons in its breach than in its observance,
Ixxx. 3-8, and even that in&Uible Inminary the moon (Ixxiv. 1 2)
becomes a Use guide and misleader of men, Ixxx. 4.

1 88 The Book of Enoch, [Sect. III.
Chapter Ixxz, therefore, is numifestly tui addition, made to give
ua ethical tnrii to a purely scientific treatise, and so furnish it
with some fitness for its present collocation. Before passing on
. to Izxxi, we may remark that not only does the general t«ndency
of Ixxx. 1-6 conflict with the preceding chapters, but the only
exact specification ventured on by the interpolator in Im. 5
is in glaring contradiction with Ixxvi. 13. Yet see notes on
Nor, again, can Izxzi belong to this book. Before entering
on this question, however, let us consider Ixxxii. i-B, which forms,
according to most critics, the close of this treatise, tv. (>-30 being
regarded as a Noachic interpolation, but wrongly : see Ixxxii. 9
(note). These verses Ixxxii. 1-8 manifestly do belong to bczii—
Isxix. The same formula occurs in Ixxxii. i, 'my son Methuselah,
as in Ixxvi. 14 and in Ixxix. 1 (according to some M8S.). The
wisdom dealt with in Izxxii. 1-8 is the same scientific lore as in
Ixxii-lxxix. And the blessing of the author of Ixxzii. 1-8 is for
the man who sins not in calculating the seasons, Ixxxii. 4.
Ixxii-lxxix and Ixxxii constitute the original book of Celestial
Physics. But, whereas the bleadng of the author of Ixzii-lxxix,
Ixxxii is for the man who knows the right reckoning of the years,
the blessiug of Ixxxi. 4 is for the man ' who dies in righteousness,
concerning whom no book of unrighteousness is written.' These
two blessings, in fact, give the keynote of their respective contents
of the book of Celestial Physics and Ixxxi, and disclose the motives
of their respective authors. This chapter did not, any more than
Ixxx, belong to this treatise originally. In fact, we find on
examination that it is of the nature of a mosaic, and came prob-
ably irom the editor of the complete Euoch. The phiase 'Those
three angels,' in Ixxxi. 5, points to some previous statement
apiwrently ; but none such is to be found. The words are evi*
dently drawn from Ixxxvii. 3, where they occur exactly as here,
bvt mth an etplanation. The heavenly tables in Ixxxi. 1, a come
from xciii. 2, cili. 2. The expression ' Lord of the world ' may
be suggested by Ixxxii. }, ' Lord of the whole creation of the
world.' The 'books of judgment' in Ixxxi. 4 are drawn from
Ixxxix. 61, £4, Ac.
Again, we observe that Izxxi, 5, 6 are written with reference
to Ixxxii. I, a and xci. i. This latter verse introduces the section
beginning in tbe preamt form of Enoch with xci. We shall see
later that xci does not really form tbe beginning of the last book

of Enoch, but tbat it hae been dislocated from its right position
by tbe author of bixii to serve bis editorial purposes.
Finally, with regard to Ixxxii, it is evident that it does not
stand in its original position. Tbe Book of Celestial Physics
rightly concludes with Ixxlx, which closes thus: 'Tbie is tbe
picture and sketch of every luniinaiy as tbey were shown to me
by their leader, tbe great angel Uriel.' Ixxxii must have preceded
this chapter originaUy, and probably immediately. After the
long disquisition on the stars in Izxxii, the first words of Ixxix
wonid come in most appropriately: 'And now, my son, I have
shown thee everything, and the law of aU Ihs gtara of the heaven
U oon^leled' If Izxxii does not precede, these words have prac-
tically no justification in Ixxii-Uxviii. The final editor of the
whole book was fond of such dislocations. There hag been a like
rearrangement of xd— xciii.
B. Its Independence of i-xxxri. (i) In i. a the revela-
tion of Enoch is not for tbe present, but for remote generations :
in xciii. 10 it is to remain a secret till the seventh week of the
world: in civ. ii it is one d&j to be disclosed. But in Ixxxii. i
the revelations are entmsted to Methuselah to be transmitted
to the generatione of ihe world, (a) In xxxiii. 3 Uriel writes
down everything for Enoch, bat in Ixxii. i, Ixxiv. a, Ixsv. 3,
Ixxix. a-6 Uriel only shows tbe celestial phenomena to Enoch,
and Enoch himself writes them down, IxxxiL i. (3) The descrip-
tion of the winds coming from different quarters in xxxiv-xxxvi
differs from that in Ixxvi. (4) The heavenly bodies are partly
conscious in i-xxxvi: cf. xviii. ta-i6, xxi. 1-6; hat not so
in Ixxii-lxxxii, (5) The portals of the stars in xxxvi. a are
described as tmaU portals aiove the portals of the winds. As in
Ixxii-lxxxii these portals are also those of tbe sun and moon, they
can hardly be called ' small,' being each equal to thirty d^rees in
width. Besides, though described at great length in lxxii~lxxxii,
they are never said to be ' above ' those of tbe winds. (6) The
river of fire in xxiii, in which the luminaries set and recmit their
exhausted fires, has no point of connexion with Ixxii-lxxxii.
(}) In xxxii. a, 3 the Garden of Eden lies in the east : in
Ixxvii. 3 in the north. There is undoubtedly some relationship
between the later chapters of i-xxxvi and Ixxii-lxxxii ; but it is
not that of one and undivided authorship.
C. Its Calendar and the knowledge therein implied.
Tbe chronological system of this book is most perplexing. It
ilizedbyGoOC^Ic ,
I go The Book of Enoch. [Seci. ni.
does not in its prMent form preeeot k conaistCDt whole, and
probably never did. We are not to regard it aa anything more
th«u the attempt of an individual to eetabliah an eosentially
Hebrew c^adar over against the heathen calendars in vogue
aronnd. In itaetf this calendar cannot be aud to have any
value. It is usefijl, however, ae giving us some knowledge of
the chronological systems more or less known to the Falestinean
Jews. For (r) the writer is acquainted with tJie signs of the
zodiac, but carefully reirains &om mentioning them, replacing
them by hiB ayetem of portale. (a) He ie acquainted with the
spring and autumn equinoxes and the summer and winter
solstices. (3) He knows apparently the length of the synodic
months (ct Ixxviii 15, iti), which was not published till the time
of Gamaliel II, 60-1 15 A.S. (4) His attempt to reconcile the
lunar year and his peculiar year of 364 days by intercalations, in
the tMrd, fifth, and eighth years, fdrnishes strong presumption
that he had the Qreek eight-year cycle before him, and the pre-
sumption becomes a certunty when we consider that, whereas
every detul in the Greek cycle is absolutely necessary to the end
desired, in tbe Snochian system, on the other huid, though these
details are more or leas reproduced, they are absolutely idle, as
Enoch's system is really a one-year cycle, and tbe lunar year is
reconciled to bis solar year of 364 days by the addition of ten
days each year: cf. Ixxiv. 13-16. (5) He aUudes to the seventy-
six years' cycle of Calippos, Ixxix. 5 (note).
The writer puts forward a year of 364 days, but this he did
only through sheer incapacity for appreciating anything better;
for he must have been acquainted with the solar year of 365^
days. His acquaintance with tbe Greek cycles shows this. More-
over, in the Slavonic Enoch the year of 365} days is distinctly
taught. It is surprising also that any writer under cloak of
Enoch's name should fix upon a year of 364 days, as Enoch was
early regarded as the teacher of tbe solar year of 365 days, owing
to the significant duration of his life. And our surprise is not
lessened when we consider that all the surrounding nations and
peoples — tbe Egyptians, Persians, Arabs, Cappadoctans, Lyci&ns,
Bithynians, the inhabitants of Gaza and Ascalon— observed a year
of 365 days. But this year was generally a moveable year of
365 days exactly, and consequently one in which New Tear's day
ran through all tbe days of the year in the course of 1461 such
years, and the festivals continually changed their season, Mow
ilizedbyGoOC^IC
Sectm.] Chapter LXXII. i, 2. 191
Uie writ«r of Enoch recommeDdB hia year of 364 d&ys eepBcially
on the ground that the posiUon of the years ii not prematurely
advanced or delayed hy a sin^e day, Ixxiv. n. It was, therefore,
nothing bnt hie natitmal prejndicee, and posBibly his stupidity,
that prevented him, knowing as he did the Greek systems, from
seeing tliat only a year of 365^ days could efiect such a result.
As for Wieseler's theory that the writer held to a year of 364 days
with one intercalary day each year, and one erery fourth year,
there is no evidence for it in the text. The anthor's reckoning
of the year at 364 days may be partly due to his opposition \x>
heathen systems, and partly to the fact that 364 is divisihle by
seven, and amounte to fifty-two weeks exactly.

And this is the law and the course of the sun, and his return

And that which thus rises is the great luminary, being so
named according to its appearance, according to the command
of the Lord. 37. As he rises so he set« and decreases not,

explains the waxing of ^e moon by
the saoceasire lighUng Dp of each

the waning by the sncoesrive with-

lighted up on the fint day of iiich

is lighted ap each day of the re-

the reverse of this process. Again,

poaition is supported by the fact that Dlo.'s M88. give XA
immediately after the words of number and by the true reading
ill the next verse — MHt; X.6; cdI^ 'seventh part of half.'
Thus, 4th of it, i.e. of the half moon = ^th of whole moon, and
^{th of half moon = j^th of whole moon: thus, ^tha of whole

remarked here that in the first half of this sentence the parte are

the Greek traualator erred in rendeiing nn in these verseB by
' wind' instead of by ' quarter.' In Ezek. xlii. ao the LXX. rightly
i-euders it by 'liipai.' The writer bad no intention of teachiog
the names of the winds. This is dear from bis geographical
division of ibe north, and also from his explanation of the Hebrew
word O'rn, which denotes the southern r^on, and not the south
wind. I have therefore traustated in ver. i ' and the first quarter
is called the east, and tbe second the south ' ; and in ver. 2 ' and the
west is named the waning quarter'; and in ver. 3 ' and the fourth
quarter, called the north.' This rendering is absolutely necessary

spake unto me : ' Declare everything to thy son Methuselah,
and show to all thy children that no flesh is righteous in the
sight of the Lord, for He is their Creator. 6. One year we
will leave thee with thy children, till again a command
(comes), that thou mayest teach thy children and record (it)

in the second year they will withdraw thee from their midst.
7, Let thy heart he strong, for the good will announce
righteousness to the good : with the righteous will they
rejoice, and they will offer mutoal congratulation. 8. But
the sinners will die with the sinners, and the apostate go

nghteousness will die on account of the deeds of men, and be 5

A. Critiosl Stmotnre. There is no diJBcult; about the
critical structare of this Bection. It is the most complete and
self-consi stent of all the eectiona, and has suffered least from the
hand of the interpolator. There seems to be only one iaterpola-
tion, i.e. xc. 15. Of dislocatious of the t«zt there are two:
Ixxxiz. 48l> should be read after Ixxsix. 49: see Ixxsix. 48
Grit. Note; and xc. 19 should be read before xc. 16 : see xc. 15
(note).
B. (a) Belatlon of thla Ssotlon to i-xzzrl This question can
only be determined by giving the points of likeness as well as of
divergence. The points of likeness or identity in (i) phraseology,
and (a) in ideas, are : —
(1) 'Tongue of flesh,' Ixxxiv. 1 ; xiv. 3 : ' make the earth with-
out inhabitant,' Ixxxir. 5 ; ix. a : ' Holy and Great One,' Ixxxir. i ;
X. i: 'glorious land' (i.e. Jemsalem or Palestine), Izxxiz, 40,
compared with ' blessed land,' xzvii. i : ' Ood of the whole world,'
Ixxxiv. 2, compared with 'Glod of the world,' i. 3. The doxology
iu Ixzxiv. a appears to be a more rhetorical form of that in ix. 4.
(3) There is, in the main, the same doctrine of the fallen
angels : the judgment in both is at the beginning of the Messianic
kingdom : Gehenna is fonnd in both, xc. z6 ; xxrii. i : the abyss
of fire for the fallen angela, xc. 34 ; xxi. 7-10 ; the conversion of
the Gentiles, xc. 30; x. 21.
There is, practically, nothing that is distinctiTe in (2) — certainly
nothing more than would refer the two sections to the same school
of thought. But the evidence of (i) is of a different nature, and
ilizedbyGoOC^IC

points, wben CMnbined vith the evidence of (z), to a close
connexion between the two sections either in identity of author-
ship, or in the BOqoaintance of one of the authors with the work
of the other. That the latter altemative is the true one, we shall
find on the following grounds: — (i) In Ixxxiii. 11 the sun comes
forth from the ' windows of the east ' ; this term is never used of
the son in i-xxxvi, nor in Ixsii-lxxxii : see bcxxiil. 1 1 (note).
' Windows ' baa a different reference altogether : see Ixxii. 3 (note).
(2) In Ixxzir. 4 'day of the great judgment'=DeIuge; in i— xzxvi
and xci-cir alway8=6nal judgment: eee Ixxxir. 4 (note). (3)
The account of the descent of the watchers in Ixxxvi. 1-3 differs
from that in vi. (4) In xc. ai, sa seven archangels are men-
tioned; inix.four — yet see xx. 7, Giz. Ok. (5) In xu. 19 the period
of the Sword is an important feature ; yet it is not alluded to in
i-xixvi. (6) The throne of judgment is in Palestine in xc.
ao-36 ; on Sinai in i. 4 : whereas the throne on which God will
sit when He comes to bless His people ia xxv. 3 corresponds
in locality to the throne of judgment in xc. ao. (7) Appearance
of the Messiah emphasised in xc 3}, 38; not alluded to in
i-xxxvi. (8) The scene of the kingdom in Ixxxiii-xc is the Kew
Jerusalem set up by Ood Himself; in i-xxxvi it is Jerusalem and
the entire earth uiyehangti though purified, x. 18, ao. (9) life
of the members of the Mesuanic kingdom apparently unending
ia xc. 33-39; but only liuite in v. 9; x. 17 ; xxv. 6. Life is
transfigured by the presence of the Messiah in xc. 38 in the New
Jerusalem ; but in xxv. 5 by the external eating of the tree of
life. (10) The picture on Ixxxiii-xc. is developed and spiritual ;
that in i-xxxvi is naive, primitive, and sensuona. (11) Ixxxiii-xc
are only visions assigned to Enoch's earlier and unwedded life ;
i-xxsvi ore accounts of attoul bodily trauslationa and are assigned
to his later life. If these two sections were from the same author
and that an ascetic, exactly the converse would have been the case.
On these grounds, therefore, identity of authorship is impossible ;
but the similiarities in phraseology and idea prove that one of
the aurora bad the work of the other before him. Of the two
sections there is no room for doubt that Ixxxiii-xc is the later.

well aa the rise of the C^asids. The Chaaida, Bymbolieed by the
lambs that are bora to the white sheep, xc. 6, are already an
orgsuised party is the Maccabean revolt, xc. 6 (note). The lambs
that become horned are the Maccabean family, and the great
horn is Judae Uaccabaens, xc. 9 (note). As thig great horn
ia still warring at the close of the rule of the twelve shepherds,
xc. iti, thia section mast have been written before the death
of Judas, 161 B.C., posdbly before his puriGcatton of the Temple.
As the fonrth period began about aoo B.C., the author of
Ixxxiii-'xc, writing in the lifetime of Jadoa Maccabaeus, most have
expected its close between 140 and 130 b.c.; for, on the ana1<^
of the third period, each shepherd would rule between five and
aix years. Thia expectation in connexion with Judaa Maccabaeus
was not unnatural, as his eldest brother, Simon, did not die
till 135 B.C.
D. The Froblem and its Solution. This section forms in
short compass a philosophy of religion from the Jewish standpoint.
It is divided into two visions, the former of wbii^ deals with the
first world-judgment of the Delnge, and the latter with the entire
history of the world till the final judgment The writer doea not
attempt to account for the ain that showed itself in the first
generation. In his view, it was not the sin of man, but the sin
of the angels who fell (in the days of Jared), that corrupted the
earth, Ixxxiv. 4, Isxxvi-lxxxviii, and brought upon it the first
world'judgment.
In the second vision the interest centres mainly on the calamities
that befall Israel from the exile onwards. Why has Israel become
a by-word among the nations, and the servant of one gentile
power after another 1 Is there no recompense for the righteous
nation and the righteous individual 1 That Israel, indeed, has
sinned grievously and deeei-ves to be punished, the author amply
acknowledges, but not a punishment ao unmeasurably transcending
its gnilt. But these undue severities have not come upon Tamel
from Qod's hand; they are the doing of the seventy shepherds
into whose care God committed larael, Ixxxix. 59. These shep-
herds or angels have proved faithless to their trust, and treach-
erously destroyed those whom God willed not to destroy; but
they have not therein done so with impunity. An account has
been taken of all their deeds and of all whom they have wickedly
destroyed, Iittjt. 61-64, <^nd for all their victims there is laid up
a recompense of reward, xc. 33. Moreover, when the ontlook

is darkest, and the oppreeaiDn at ita vont, & righteom league
will be eatablialied in Israel, xc. 6 ; and in it there will be a
family from which will come forth the deliverer of Israel, i-e.
Judaa Maccab&ene, zc. 9—16. The Syrians and other enemies
of Israel will put forth every effort to destroy him, bat In vain ;
■ for a great sword will be given to him wherewith to destroy
his enemies, xc. 19. Then all the hostile Gentiles will assemble
for their final struggle agunst Israel, still led by Judaa Uaccabaeus,
xc 16; but thia, their crowning act of wickedness, will alao be
the final act in their history and serve aa the signal for their
imme<liate judgment, 6od will appear in person, and the earth
open ita mouth and swallow them u^, xc 18. The wicked shep-
herds Hud the fallen watchers will then be judged, and cast into
an abyffi of fire, xc. 30-35. ^ith tlie condemnation of the
apostates to Gehenna the great assize will close. Then the New
Jerusalem will be aet np by Ood Himself, xc. aS, 29; and the
surviving Qentilea will be converted and serve Israel, xc. 30; and
all the Jews diapersed abroad will be gathered together, and
all the righteous desJ will be raised to take part in the kingdom.
Then the Messiah will appear amongst tbem, xc. 37; and all the
righteous will be gloriously transformed after hie likeness, xc. 38 ; .
and God will rejoice over them.

one was quite unlike the otlier : on the first occasion when I
was leamiDg to write, on the second, before I took thy
mother, I saw a terrible vision, and conoeming them I prayed
to the Lord. 5. I had laid me down in the house of my
grandfather Mal^l^l, when I saw in a vision how the heaven
collapsed and was borne off and fell to the earth. 4. And
when it fell to the earth I saw how the earth was swallowed
up in a great abyss, and mountains hang suspended on moun-
tains, and hills sank down on hills, and high trees were rent
from their stems and hurled down and sunk in the abyss.
5. And thereupon utt«rance came into my mouth, and I lifted
up my voice to cry aloud, and said : " The earth is destroyed."
6. And my grandfather MalfUel waked me as I lay near him,
and said unto me : " Why dost thou cry aloud, my son, and
why dost thou thus make lamentation ? " 7. Then I
recounted to him the whole vision which I had seen, and
he said unto me : " What thou hast seen, my son, is terrible,
and thy dream-vision is of grave moment as to the sin of all
sin of the earth : it must sink into the abyss and be destroyed
with a great destruction. 8, And now, my son, arise and
make petition to the Iiord of glory, since thou art a believer,
that a remnant may remain on the earth. 9. My son, all
this will come from heaven upon the earth, and there will be
violent destruction upon earth." 10. After that I arose and

eyes toward heaven and saw a lofty roof, with seven water
torrents thereon, and those torrents poured much water into
an enclosure. 5. And I saw again and behold foantains
were opened on Uie earth in that great enclosure, and that
water began to swell and riae upon the earth, and it hid
that enclosure from view till the whole surface of it was
covered with water. , 4. And the water, the darkness, and
mist increased upon it ; and as I looked at the height of that
flood it rose above the height of that enclosure, and streamed
over that enclosure, and remained on the earth. 5, And

as their leader, and all His sheep followed Him : His foce

their Lord who led them placed Himself between tbem and

sheep, they proceeded into tiie midst of that sea, and the
wolves pnisned the sheep, and those wolves ran after them
into that sea. 36. And when they saw the Lord of the
sheep, they tamed to flee before His &ce, but that eea gathered
itself together, and resumed its own natore suddenly, and the
water swelled and rose till it covered thoae wolves. a?.
And I saw till all the wolves which pursoed those sheep
perished and were drowned. 38. But the sheep escaped
from that water and went forth into a wilderness, where there
was no water and no grass ; and they began to open their
eyes and to see ; and I saw the Lord of the sheep pasturing
them and giving them water and grass, and tiiat sheep going
and leading them. 39. And that sheep ascended to the

to endure the presence of our Lord or to behold Him." 32.
And that eheep which led them again ascended to the eammit

went down from the sunimit of tlie rock, and came to the

And that sheep took other sheep with it, and came to those

brought back those sheep that had fallen away, and they

sheep fell asleep ; and I saw till all the great sheep perished
and little ones arose in their place, and they came to a

sheep which led them and became a man withdrew from

lamented over it with a great lamentation. 39. And
I saw till they left off crying for that sheep and crossed
that stream of water, and there always arose other sheep

And I saw till the sheep came to a goodly place and a

Bui the word ' little ' should be omitted, aa it is wsntiog in the

found hut once before in ver. 37. It crept into the text from the
next line. The rest of the verse is also wantiag in the Gk.,
but this ia so, only because the fragment ends with ver. 49,
at the close of which these words origttially stood. Thus they
form a natural transitioo to the account of the temple. A further
and stronger reason for their genuineneES is the phrase ' a little
sheep ' applied to Solomon, previous to his becoming king. This
phrase baa nothing derogatory in It, but can only be a loose
rendering of (vuMt ' lamb,' applied also to David previoos to his
being appointed king, see ver. 45. Kvidently the Ethiopic trans-
lator did not feel the technical use of the word, as be has
obliterated it altogether in ver. 45. Thus, aa the technical term

on tlie moral and ceremonial iiregn-
lariliea in the eervioeii of the uooud

abiuea and defeat tbe schemee of
Antioohna the Chaaide were ready to
eacriBoe their lives, but all their
effiirtt ivere directed to one md only
— the re-establiihment of the Tlieo-

of the Dream-vision* all these hopes
are bound up together with the ino-
oesi of the Maooabein leader. 80
long than •■ tlie Maooabesin family
fought for these objects, so long they
carried witli tltsm tlie snpp^ of the
Chauds; but tlie moment tbey laid

A. Critioal Stmotnie. This eectian may be regarded as eom|dete
in the main and eelf-conaistent. It has in some degree suffered at
the hands of the final editor of the book, both in the way of direct
interpolation and of severe dislocationB of the text. The interpola-
tions are— zoi. ii ; xciii, 11—14; xctI. a. The dislocations of the
text are a more important featnre of the book. They are confined
(with the exception of cri. 17", which should be read immediately
after cvi. 14) to xci-xciii All critics are agreed as to the chief of
these, xci. iz-17 should undoubtedly be read directly after xciti.
In xciii we have an account of the fint seven weeks of the ten into
which the world's history is divided, and in xci. 13-17 "'* ^^
last three weeks. But this in far from a fiill acooimt of th«
matter. The remaining dislocations only need to be pointed out
in order to be acknowledged. On other grounds (pp. 360-363) *e
find that xci-civ is a book of different authorship to the rest
of the sections. Now this being so, this section obviously begins
with zcii — 'vritten by Enoch the scribe,' &c. On xcU follows
xci. i-io as a natoral seqnel, where Enoch sonunons his children
to receive his parting words. Then comes the Apocalypse of
Weeks, xciii. i-io; xci. 13-17. ^- '^i '9 f'^'*"^ ^ natural
transition from xci. 12-17 to xciv. The original order of the
text, therefore, was: xcii; xci. i-io; xdii. i-io; xci. 13-19;
xciv. These dislocations were the work of the editor, who put
the different books of Enoch tt^^ether and added Ixxx and Ixxxi.

evidenee od the former question. At first mght, the evidence
for unity of authorship seema overwhelming, (i) The phnse
'ye will have no peace' is found in xci-^iv and in i-zxsvi, and in
tbeae Bectioue only — xdv.6; xoviii. ii, t6; xcix.13; ci- 3; eii.3;

(5) The division 1^ human history io the Apocalypse of Weeks into
ten weeks, each ai^wiently of seven generations, seems to agree
with X. 13, where a period of seventy generations is given. (6)
The dato of the final judgment over the Watchers in xci. 15
at the close of the tenth week seems to agree with the dato
assigned to it in x. is, i.e. at the end of seventy generations.

There are thus many pointo of connexion, but as we proceed
we shall see that these are mainly extomal. The points of
divergence, on the other hand, are far more serious because
intomal. (i) In the first place, the last four points of agreenient
mentioned above are apparent, but not reaL The seventh day
of the tenth week in xci 15 m&rks tA« dow 0/ l&e MtadcMie
kingdom, which be£[&n in the eighth week: whereas the seventy
generations in x. 13 tenninato with the ulatli^uneiU of ttu
Mesnanie kingdom, "Sfsc do tiiese periods start irom the same
dato ; the Apocalypse of Weeks reokuus &oin the creation of
Adam : the seventy generations from the judgment of the angels.
(3) The final judgment in xci, ig is held at the close of the
UeBsianic kingdom, bnt in x. I3, zvL i, before its eetablishment.
(3) Whereas the reHorreotion implied in xxii is only a reeusdtation
to a tamporary blessedness, v. 9, x. 17, xxv. 6, the resurrection
in xci-oiv is not to the temporary Messianic kingdom spoken
of in xci. 13, 14, xcvi. 8, but to one of eternal blessedness sub-
sequent to the final judgment. For, from c. 4, g we see that the
righteous do not rise tUl God has judged sinners and an end has
ilizedbyGoOC^IC
262 The Book of Enoch. [Sect, v.
been made of ttU sin. Thus the resurrection of the righteous
in zci-civ follows the final judgment at the dose of the temporary
Meeuanic kingdom in xci-«iv. Farther evidence to this effect
ia to be found in xcii. 3, 4, where the rightecas are said to ' walk
in eternal light ' : in civ. 6, where they are to become ' companions
of the heavenly hosts': in civ. 2, where they are to 'shine as -
the stars,' and have 'the portals of heaven open to them.' These
statements could not possibly apply to the members of the tem-
porary Messianic kingdom. (4) There is only a resarreotion
of the righteons in xci-civ : cf. xci. i O ; xcii. 3 ; c. 5 : whereas in
xxii a general reenrreotlon with the exception of one class of
sinners is taoght. (5) There is no resurrection of the body in
xci-civ : there is a resurrection of the body in i-xxxvi. (6) Con-
trast the spiritual nature of the kingdom in xci-civ with the
crass materialism of i— xxxvi, where much of the bliss conusts
in good eating and drinking and the begetting of lai^ families,
and life itself depends on the external eating of the tree of life.
(7) Finally, contrast the answers given by i-xxxvi and xci-civ to the
question ' why do the righteous suffer )' See pP'5ti, 57; 364, 365.
The lines of thought, then, being so divergent in these two
sections, there is no conclusion open to ns other than tiiat they
proceed from different authors; whereas the obvious points of
agreement necessitate the assumption that one of the two authors
had the work of the other before him, and we need feel no hesita-
tion in concluding that the author of xci-«iv had i-xxxvi or some
form of this section before him — some form of this section we
repeat, for it is at the best fragmentary.
B. (&) BeUtion of xel-olT to IxxxlfJ-^o. There are some
points of resemblaace between these sections, (i) Elijah's trans-
lation referred to, xciii. 8; Ixxilx. 53. Qod rejoices over the
destruction of the wicked, xciv. lo; Ixxxix. 58. (3) Titles of
Ood in common : 'The Great King,' xci. 13, Ixxxiv. 5 ; 'the Holy
and Great One,' zcti. 3 (note), Ixxxiv. i.
But these and other superficial points of resemblance are far
outweighed by the divergent lines of thought porsaed in the two
sections, which render the theory of one and undivided authorship
impossible. We should observe then, that— (i) the Ueseianio
kingdom is finite in duration in xci-civ, i.e. from the eighth
to the tenth world-week inclusive ; wheraas in Ixxxiii— xc it ia
eternal. In xd-eiv the final judgment takes place at the close
of the Messianic kingdom: in Ixxxiii-xo it is consummated at
ilizedbyGoOC^IC
Sect, v.] Introduction. . 263
the beginning of the Ueesumic kingdom, (a) There is a resur-
rection of the righteous only in xci-civ; hut in Ixxziii-xc a
resnrrection of apostate JewB also. (3) Ulie period of the sword
is differently dated and conceived in the two sections. lu xin-cir
it is separated from the final judgment by the whole period of
the MeBsianic kingdom, see zci. la : in Ixxziii-xc it immediately
precedes the final judgment, see xo. 19: in xci-civ it is ethical
and vindictive — the destruction of the wicked by the righteous ;
in Ixzxiii-xc it is national and vindictive — the destruction of the
hostile Gentiles by the Jews. (4) The building of the Temple
precedes the final judgment in xci-civ : in Ixxxiii-xc it is subse-
quent to the final judgment. (5) The scene of the Uetwianic
kingdom in xci— dv is apparently heaven; for in xci. 14—16 the
former heaven and earth are destroyed and a new heaven created,
but no new earth, and in civ. a heaven ia thrown open to the
righteous.
We must therefore conclude that xci-civ and Ixxxiii-xc proceed
from different authors, and this concluuon is confirmed when we
observe the forcible dislocations that zd-civ have undergone at the
hands of the final editor. This section taken in the following
order, xcii; xci. i-io; xdii. i~io; xci. ia-19; xciv (see
p. a6o) forms a complete book in itself and presents a worid-
view peculiarly its own. Why then was the original order de-
parted from, unless in order to adapt it to a new context 1 On all
sides, then, the condusion is irresistible that xci-civ once formed
an indepeiMlent writing : that it was afterwards incorporated into
a latter work, and underwent its present dersngements in the
process of incorporation.
O. Tbe Authorahip and Sate. The author belongs to a
clearly defined party. That this party is the FhariBees is obvious ;
for it is exdnsive in an extreme degree, xcvii. 4 ; it is an upholder
of die law .against an apostate hellenizing party, xcix. a, 14; it
looks forward to a temporal triumph over its opponents, zci. la,
&c.; it believes iu a final judgment and resurrection of the
righteous, xci. 10, xcii. 3, and in Sheol as the place of eternal
punishment for the wicked, xcix. 1 1, oiii. 7, 8.
The enemies of this party are rich and trust in their riches,
xovi 4, xcviL 8-10, zcviii. a: they oppress and rob the poor
of thdr wages, xcix. 13: they have forsaken the law, xcix. 2,
fitlsified the O.T. writings, and led men astray through their
heathen doctrines, xdv. 5, civ. 10: they are given up to super-
ilizedbyGoOglc

station and idoUUzy, xdx. 7-9: they hold that Qod does not
concern HimBsIf with the doingi of men, zcriiL 6, 1, oiv. 7, (uid
that life ceaeea with the grare, cii. 11. As the former part; are
dengnated aa the 'children of heaven,' ci. i, theBe are called the
' children of earth,' 0. 6, cit. 3.
The date of thia clearly defined and developed oppoeitioo of
the two partiea cannot have been pre-Maccabean, nor yet earlier
than the breach between John Hyrcanna and the Fhariseea. Bnt
a Btill later date most be assomed according to the literal inter-
pretation of ciii. 14, 15, where the mlera are said to uphold the
Sadducean oppressors and to share in the mnrder of the righteooB.
IhU charge ia not jnstified befinre 95 b.c. As for the later limit,
the Herodian princes cannot be the rulers here meutioned, fbr the
Saddacees were irreconoilably opposed to these, as aliens and
usurpers. It appears, therefore, that thia section' should be
aesi^ied either to the years 95-J9 b.c. or to 70-64 b.c, daring
which periods the Pharisees were crppreesed by both rulers and
Saddacees.
If, on the other hand, we might regard the word ' mnrder ' as
merely a stitmg expression fbr a severe persecution, and the mlence
elsewhere observed as to the rulers would pdut to this interpreta-
tion, then we should naturally refer this section to the years
134—95 B.C., i.e. after the breach between Hyrcanna and the
Pharisees and before the savage destraction of the Pharisees by
Jaapaeus in 95. If the date of the book is subsequent to 95,
the merely passing referenoe in ciiL 15 to the cruelties of Jannaeos
is hardly intelligible. We ahoold expect rather the fiwce indig-
nation {gainst ' the kings and the mighty,' which we actually do
find in xxxvii-lsz, and which fittingly expresses the feelings of
the Pharisees towards Jannaene, ' the dayer of the pious.' We
are Inclined therefore to place xci-civ before 95 b.o., and if we
may regard c. z as an historical reference, these chapters are to
be assigned to the years 104-95 B.o.
The author is thus a Pharisee, writing between the years 104
and 95 B. 0.
D. The Problem and its Bolation. The author of i-xxxvi
solves the problem of the righteons suffering by their resuscitation
to a temporary blessedness in the Messianic kingdom : the wicked
dead who »Meaped pvmuhmtnt in life, xxii. 10, 1 1, rise also to
receive requital for their sin. What becomes of the righteons
after their second death is not so much as hinted at in that section.
ilizedbyGoOC^IC
Sect. v.] Chapter XCI. I, 2. 265
"ntoa in tUa respect tbe solntioii of the problem here pregented has
not advanced a single step beyond that given in le. Ixv and Ixvi.
But this solution of the problem nmst have failed early to give
satisfaction. In Tci-Kiiv we find another attempt to grapple with
this difficulty, and in this an answer immeasumbly more profound
is acbieTed. The wicked are eeemingly sinning with impunity ;
yet their evil deeds are recorded every day, civ. 7 ; and forthege
they will suffer endless retribution in Sheol, xcix. \i; iac Sbeol
is not a place such as the O. T. writers conceived, but one in
which men are requited acoor^ng to their deserte, cii. 4-ciT. 5.
From this bell of d&rluiees and flame their souls will never escape,
xcviii. 3, 10; civ. 7, 8. But the time is coming when even on
earth the wicked will perish and the righteous triumph over them,
on the advent of the UeBsianic kingdom, at the beginning of the
eighth world-week, xci, 12 ; xcv. 7 ; icvi. r ; xcviii. la ; xcix. 4, 6.
This kingdom will last till the close of the tenth world-week, and
during it the righteouB will etyoy peace and well-being, and see
many good days on earth, xcL 13, 14; zcvi. 8. Then will ensue
the final judgment with the destruction of the former heaven and
earth, and the creation of a new heaven, xoi 14-16. And the
righteous dead, who have been specially guarded by angels all
the time hidierto, c. 5, will thereupon be raised, xci. lo, xciL 3,
as spirits only, cliL 3, 4, and the portals of the new heaven will
be c^ned to them, civ. a, and they shall joy as the angels, civ, 4,
and become compudons of the heavenly hosts, civ. 6, and shine as
the stars for ever, civ. a.

9. From tbie verse to the end of tliis chapter the variations
are nearly sixty in Q alone, bnt these ore munly between the
jBt and 3rd plurals in the rerbe and the corresponding euffizea,
verbal and enbatantival. Q favours throughout the 31-d pi.,
whereas Q' in the main agrees with Din. in giving the ist pi.
The question now arises on which person, the ist or 3rd,
are we to decide. The evidence of the MSS. would go to prove
that the yrd ftr»on waa the original ; for in about fifty instances
Din. gives the ist person and never the 3rd; O gives the 3rd
pereon in all, except seven instances, confined to vv. 14 and
15. All otiier MSS. agree with Din. And the evidence of the
context b in the same direction, ciii. cf-ig are pronounced deri-
sively by the sinners of the righteous. For in cii. 6-8, when the
sinners declare that the righteous live in trouble and durknese
and have no advantage over the wicked beyond the grave, the
author (10) in reply points to the nature of their death and tlie
purity of their life. To this tlie sinners rejoin (11), ' despite all
that they go down to Sheol in woe as we.' The author now
addresses himself first to the righteous (ciii. 1-4) and then to the
sinners. In the cose of the latter he givte their glorification of
their own life (5, 6) and their depreciation of the life of the
ri^teouB (9-15). In these vereee the wicked describe the wretched-
ness aud helplessness of the present life of the righteous, just as in
cii. 6, 7 they had described the wretchedness of the future of the
righteous. The author could not, as Din. imagines, represent the
departed righteous who were in blias as discouraging the righteous
who were still living, and as arraigning, as it were, the justice
of Qod. At the close of these words the author addresses his
reply (civ. 1-6) not directly to the sinners who have just spoken
bnt to the righteous, just as in the opening of ciii, and returns to

CRITICAL INQUIRIES.
BiSSBLL: The Apoerypha of the Old TettameiU, 18S0, pp.
665, 666. In this short account of Enoch the usual analysis
into Groundwork, Similitudes, and Noachian fragments is
accepted.
ScEWALLT : Dot Lebea naek dgm Tode, 1893. Tbe traditional
division of the book of Enoch into the Groundwork, Simili-
tudes, and Noachic interpolations is here assumed, p. 136.
The author, however, is very arbitrary in his interpretation of
the text uid is often demonstrably wrong; and this is all
the more to be regretted as hie work is at once original and
su^estive. The instances in which tbe book of Enoch is
used or interpret«d will be fotind given at length on p. zoo
of Schwally's book.
ZOCKLxs : J)ie Apoetypien det AUe» TettameiU*, 1891,

the Noadiio fra^ents (before the publication o( the Book

additions in the Similitndes are admitted.
Satifpol: in the IHetvmnavre de la Siilt, taec. iii, 1892,
pp. 757-759, this writer divides the Book of Enoch into
fi) Book of Celestial Physics, xvii-xix; xxi-nxvij Izxii-
Ixxix; Ixxxii. (2) Hi^rical Apocalypse, i-xvi; Ixxx-lxxxi;
Ixxxiii-CT (circ. 1 10 b. c). (3) Similitudes or Messianic
Apocalypse, xxxvii-lxiii ; Ixiz-lxxi (40-44 B. 0.). (4) Book of

is almost an exact reprodnction of Lipsina' article in Smith's

APPENDIX B.
"THE SON OF MAN': ITS ORIGIN AND MEANING.
Ab both tiie origin and me&tung of this title in tbe New
Testament have been very differently understood, it will be
DectiBsary to disease these theories briefly.
(i) It has been taken to mean the Messiah with special
reference to its nse in Daniel. Hengstenberg, ChrUtotogie, iii.
91, 1858 } Schulze, 7om Mentckauokn und vom Logot, 1867 —
' while the concept of the Messiah is oontfuned in the name,
the peculiar expression of it in the Danielic sense can never be
knowingly left ont' ; and Meyer, Comment, on Matt. viii. 20—
* As often as Jesus oses the words " Son of Man," He means
nothing else than the Son of Man in the Prophecy of DanieL'
The Danielic conception has nndoabtedly influenced the
meaning of this title in the New Testament in certain in-
stances ; see S. Matt. zxiv. 30 ; xzri 64 ; bat in the majority
of instances it is wholly inapplicable] i e. when it is used in
reference to the homelessness of Christ, S. Matt. viii. 20, or
His aversion to asceticismj zL 18, 19 ; or His coming not to
be ministered onto bat to minister, S. Mark z, 45, or His
destiny to be rejected of the chief priests and scribes and to
be put to death, viii. 31.
(ii) It is taken to mean the ideal man, the typical, repre-
sentatiTe, unique man. So Schleiermacher, who holds (Cirutl.
Glavbe, ii 91) that this title, in our Lord's use of it, implied a
consdousness of His complete partic^lion in human natote.
ilizedbyGoOC^IC
Appendix B. 313
M wen as of a distiQctive difference between Himself and
mankind. So Neander, IiAe% Jent, Eng'. Trans. 4th Ed. p. 99,
and more or less approximately Tholack, Olahausen, ReoRs,
Weiflse, BejrBcUag, Liddon, Weetcott, Stanton.
This Boppoaitaon cannot be regarded as more Baccesafal than
the former. It fiula to show any fitness in the majority' of
cases. It is moreover an anachronism in history and thonght.
No past osage o£ the term serves even to prepare the way for
this all^^ meaning ; and sacb a philosophical conception
as tbe ideal man, the personalised moral ideal, was foreign to
the oonscioasness of the Faleetinian Judaism of tbe time.
The nearest approach to this idea in the langnage of tliat
time would be the ' Second Adam.'
(iii) Banr {Neuieti. Tkeol. pp. 81-3 ; Z. f. W. TieoL i860,
pp. 274-92) thinks that Jesoa chose tbe expression to designate
Himself as a man^ not as a man in the ideal sense, but as
one wbo participated in eveiything that is human, qui hit-
mani nihil a te alieitttm putat. Bat though He thns nsed it to
dmote a simple ordinary man in its first acceptation, He
afterwards incorporated in it the Danielic conception, as in
S. Matt. xxiv. 30, &c. So Schenkel, Bidel-
Baor has found but few to follow bim,
Lem. iv. pp. 170-5.
His explanation
b the most inadequate that has been offered whether regarded
from die standpoint of history or ex^esis. His observation,
however, that this title had apparently a varying signification
is worth noting. This variation is recognised by Weize&cker,
Ev. GetcA. 1864, p. 429; Dot Apotiol. Zeiiaiier, 1890, p. 109.
Its explanation is to be found in ihe complex origin of the
phrase.
(iv) Mr. Bartlet ('Christ's use of the term "tbe Son of
Han," ' 7^ ExpotUor, Dec. 1892) takes this title to mean the
'ideal man,' but he gives it a fnrther and more definite
content by subsuming nnder it the conception of the Servant
of Jehovah in Isaiah. The actual phrase, he concedes, may
have been derived from a corrent Enocbic usage.
Save for the fact that this theory rect^ises the inclnsion in
ilizedbyGoOC^IC
314 ^^ ^ook of Enoch.
this title of the Old Teetunfflit conceptioD of the Seratnt of
Jdovah, it laboan ouder all the difBculties of (ii), and incurs
fnrliier disabilities of its own. It attribatee to Jesos a most
caprivioiiB and arbitrary metbod. It sappoecB Him, first of
aJl, to choose a cnrrent Apocalyptic phrase ; next to strip it
absolutely of its received meaning, and to attach to it a
signiScatioa in the highest degree questionable for the period
and coimtry j and, finally, while rejecting the Old Testament
authoritative title of Servant of Jehovah, to subsume its
complete connotation under this current Apocalyptic phrase
with its neWj artificial, and tmmediated meaning. That the
tide, moreover, however transformed, had not parted with
its apocalyptic meaning, is proved by S. John v. %%, 27, which
are practically a quotation from Enoch Izix. 27,
The above interpretations are all unsatisfactory, and die
reason is not far to seek. They are too subjective and cme-
rided, and they all mwe or less ignore the historical facts of
the age. The true interpretation will, we believe, be found
if «e tiart witA the eoneeption at found in Enoch and irace itt
etUarffoiient and etiential trantformaHon in the uaage of our Lord,
In tkii tran^ormaiion it it reconciled to and takea over into itte^
its apparent antiihetis, the conception <f the Servant of Jehovah,
while it hetrayt oeeational renUniteeneeM qf Dan. vii, the ultimate
lonree if thi* detonation.
First shortly as to the &ctfl of the problem. The expression
is found in S. Matthew thirty times, in S. Mark fooiteen, in
3. Luke twenty-five, in S. John twelve. Outside the Gospels,
in Acts vii. 56 ; B«t. l 13 ; adv. 14. In all Gteea caaes we
find i vU$ rou AiiBpdtifm except in S. John v. 37, and Rev. i.
13, xiv. 14. The two passages in Bev. may be disregarded
as they are not real desigoationa of the Messiah. As for
8. John T. 27, 1 can find no satisfactory e^ilanation of the
absence of the article.
Our interpretati<Hk of tlus title ia as foUows : —
(i) Its source in Daniel and its differentiation therefrom.
The title ' the Son of Man ' in Enoch was undoubtedly derived
ilizedbyGoOC^IC
Appendix B. 315
from Dan. vii, bat a whole world of thooglit lies betweai
the BDi^estiTe wotde io Daniel and the definite ronnded con-
ception as it appears in Enoch, In Daniel the phniee seems
merely Bjmbolical of Israd, but in Enoch it denotes a snper-
nataral person. In the former, moreover, the title is indefinite,
' like a Stm of Man' as in Hot. i. 13 ; xiv. 14, bnt in Enoch
it is perfectly definite and distinctive, 'the Son of Man.'
(a) The first occasion of its use. As the Similitudes are
pre-Christian, they famish the firet instance in which the
definite personal title appears in literature.
(3) Its supernatural import in Enoch. The Son of Man as
portrayed in the Similitudes is a supernatural being and not
a mere man. He is not even conceived as being of human
descent, as the Messiah in En. xc. 37. He site on God's
throne, li. 3, which is likewise Hie own throne, Izii. 3, 5 ; Ixix.
37, 29 J po^esses universal dominion, Izii. 6, and all judgment
is committed unto Him, xli. 9 ; Ixiz. 27.
(4} Its import in the New Testament This title with its
supernatural attributes of superhuman glory, of nniveiBal
dominion and supreme judicial powers, was adopted by oar
Lord. The Son of Man has ctnne down from heaven, S. John
iii. 13 (cp. En. xlviii a, note) ; He is Lord of the SabbaA,
3. Matt. xiL 8 ; can forgive sins, S. Matt. ix. 6 ; and all
judgment is conuuitted unto Him, S. John v. 22, 27 (cp. £0.
Ixix, 27). Sut while retaining its supernatural associatioae,
this title onderweat transformation in our Lord's use of it,
a transformation that all Pharisaic ideas, so £ar as He adopted
them, likewise underwent. And just as His kingdom in
general formed a standing protest against the prevailing
Messianic ideas of tranporal glory and dominion, so the title
' the Son of Maa ' assumed a deeper spititnal significance ; and
this change we shall best apprehend if we introduce into the
Enoch conception of the Son of Man the Isaiah conception of
the Servant of Jehovah. Tk«»e ttsQ eoneeptiona, though ottt-
leardly oniitMic, are through the tran^ormatum of the fomer
recouped amd^^filled m a deeper w^y^m the New Tetiament

Son of Man. This transfomuitioii flowed QatomUy from the
object of Jesus' coming, the revelation of the Father. The
Father could be revealed not through the Belf-aesertion of the
Son, not through Hia grasping at self -display in the exhibition
o£ BUpeihuman majesty and power, bat through His self-
emptying, Belf-renunciation and serrice (Phil. ii. 6). Whilst
therefore in adopting the title 'the Son of Man' from Enoch,
JesuB made from the outset aupematoml claims, yet these
supematnial claims were to be vindicated not after the external
Judaistic conceptions of the Book of Enoch, bat in a revela-
tion of the Father in a sinless and redemptive life, death, and
resurrection. Thus io the life of the actual Son of Man, the
Father was revealed in the Son, and sapematural greatness in
nnivetsal service. He that was greatest was likewise Servant
of alL This transformed conception of the Son of Man is
thus permeated throughoat by the Isaiah conception of the
Servant of Jehovah ; but though the Enochic conception is
fundamentally transformed, the transcendent claims ander-
lyiog it are not for a moment foregone. If then we bear in
mind the inward ^fnthette of these two ideals of tie jxut in
an ideal, nay in a PertonalUy irantcendinff them both, we
shall find little dtffieuliy in understanding the startling eon'
trasl* that preteni themselves in the New Testament in con-
nexion with this detonation. We can onderstand how on
the one hand the Son of Man hath not where to lay His
head (S. Matt. viiL 20), and yet be Lord of the Sabbath (S.
Matt. xii. 8) ; how He is to be despised and rejected of the
elders and chief priests and scribes and be pat to death (S,
Lake ix. 22), and yet be the Judge of all mankind (S. John
V. a?).
It has been objected that S. Matt. xvi. 13, S. John
xii. 54 prove that the Son of Man was not a current designa-
tion of the Messiah in tiie time of Christ ; bat no each con-
clusion can be drawn from these passages; for in the older
form of the question given in S. Matt, xvi 13, the words
* the Son of Man ' are not found : see S. Mark viii. 27 ; S.

Appendix B. 317
Lake ix. iS. In S. John xii. 54 it is jost the strangeness of
this fftfw conception of this current phrase of a Messii^ who
was to suffer death, that makes the people ask, ' Who is this
Son of Man P we have heard of the lav that the Chrtet
abideth for ever.'
On the other hand, thoogh the phrase was a cun-ait on^
our Iiord's use of it most hare been an enigma, not onljr to
the people generallj', bat also to His immediate disciples, so

is used in the Oospels only by our Lord in speaking of

THE OIZEH GREEK FRAGMENT OF ENOCH.
This importuit Greek fragmeat of Enoch was fiist made
accessible to scholars under the editorship of M. Booriant in
October, 1892, though discovered as early as the winter of
1886—87 '^^ Akhmtm by the Mission Arch^l<^que Fran9aiBe
at Cairo. The work is done in a scholarly manner, but is not
quite free from defects. Some of these have been repaired by
Mr. Bensley, who has recently collated the MS. at Gizeh, and
from his note in the Academy of Feb. 11 six passages omitted
through homoioteleuton in M, Bouriant's edition have been
restored in the text that follows '.
Unhappily the greater part of the present edition was
already in type before M. Bouriant's work reached me, and
I was thus debarred from making extensive changes. Happily,
on the other hand, the many new readings I had introduced
into the text under tiie guidance of the MSS. GM were
almost in every instance in perfect accord witii the new Greek
text. By the permission of the Delegates of the Press I was
allowed to make such additional changes as would not inter-
fere materially with the type already set up. But excise as I
would, I could not at times make sufficient room for the fresh
material, and so it occasionally happens that a text is followed
in the Translation, the justification of which is given, not in
the Crit. Notes which are immediately below, but in the
Appendix.

and emendation of the Eth. and Gk. texts, and bases many of
his new readings on two new MSS. These MSS., however,
appear to fail Mm in some cnvnal instances where Q M or Q-
are more than satisfactory. I have read these articles with
great interest and foond that oxii emendations in the main
agree : in a few instances I have adopted his suggestions with
due acknowledgements. In many points, however, I have felt
obliged to differ, and in many others, on which he has not
touched at all, the right solution, I think, is offered in tho
following pages.
In the revision of this Appendix, I have also had before
mc the excellent work of M. Lods. This is a most scholarly
and suggestive book, but M. Lods has throogboat had the
great disadvantage of basing his criticism on a corrupt Eth.
text, i.e. Dln.'s, and thus more than one-tiiird of his book is
already antiquated. Besides, the undeniably inferior character
of this Eth. text as against the purer Giz. Gk. text has
naturally blinded M. Lods to undoubted excellencies of this
oormpt text, and to readings where it is clearly more ancient
and correct than the Giz. Gk.
In the Academy of Nov. 26 htst year, jnst after the publication

320 The Book of Enoch,
oi the 3iz. MS., I stated shortly the relative poeitioiu and
vahtes of the Eth. and Gk. texts. As all my subsequent study
has only served to confirm these, I will restate them with large
additions and supply confirmatory evidence where necessary.
lie materials for the textual criticism of Enoch are drawn
frmn three versions or sources — I. Latin, II. Greek, III.
Etiiic^ic. As the first of these is of very minor importance,
we will indicate very briefly the contributions made by ttiifl

are doee on eiz hundred. The following criticism is limited
to a comparison of the rela1»Te merits of the Ethiopic and two
Greek versions of chaps, i-xzxii of Enoch.
i. Each of these versions preserves true readings over
against corruptions in the other, or in the otJier two where
these exist. So Eth, in vi. 8 (see Crit. Note, p. 64) ; vii i
(see Crit. Note, p. 331); i. 5 (see Crit. Note, p. 337) ; x' 19
{see Crit. Note, p. 340) ; xv. ] 2 (see Crit, Note, p. 350) ; xvii.
3 (see Crit. Note, p. 35a). So Syn. Gk. on vi. 6 (see Crit. Note,
p. 63) : ix. 10 : X. I Oipi^K (see Crit. Note^ p. 336) ; x, 14 is
&i> . . . KaToxpiBij (Cnt. Note, p. 339) : xv. 9 t&v &i>6p4v<M>
(Crit. Note, p. 349). So Giz. Gk. v. 5 ra In) r^c Inaikilas

(see Cnt. Not«, p. 334) : xiii. 4 &vayv^ (see Crit. Note, p. 343) :
xiv. 1 wctfTMirL Tou <n6iiaT6s tioo (see Crit, Note, p. 344). See
also Crib Notes on xviiL 4; xx. 3, 6, 7. Obterve that Giz. 6k.
Am no unquettionably true readiMg over againgt Eth. and Syn, Gk,
combined, tohereat Eth, and Syn. Gk. have each many tneh true
and independent readme.
ii. These versions taken in pairs attest true readings over
against corruptions or omissions in the third. So Eth. and
Giz. Gk. in vi. 3 KaX iStiaovrai, .... oipavov : vi. 5 (lai^
omission) : viu. i ffrlptii: ix. 7 &pxeiv. x 9 iia(itpiovs: xv. lo.
So Etll. and Syn. Gk. in vi. I airrois : ix. 4 pa<rikfv6pT<i>v :
ix. 8 iv Tail 0Tt\.fltus : x. 9 <Ic oXX^Aovs i^ airr&v els airms :
X. 10 : xvi 1 its. So Syn. Ok. and Giz. Gk. in ix. 6 : ix. 8 r^t
y^f (see Crit, Note, p. 70) : ix. 10 Slivarai : ix. II jfs odrotfs :
X. 7 liaamTOii tt|v ir\r(y^ii : xv. 11 AA\' d^troStTO.
It ie thus clear so far that each of these three versions has
an independent worth of its own, though apparently the Giz.
Gk. is less-original than the other two.
iii. We have next to determine the relations of these
versions to each other. Even the most superficial study
makes it clear that the Eth. and Giz. Gk. are more elotelg
related than tie Eth. and Syn. Ok. or tie Gie. Gk, and ^. Gk.
For evidence that this holds gaierally we might point to Hie

following pessageB (see noteB) : vi. i, s, 4 ; to., i ; nil. i, 1, 31
ix. 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, II; z. I, 2, 7, 9, 10 ; xr. lo^ is. Bat the
decisive evidence on this question is fonnd in the fact that the
Eth. and Giz. Ok. present the same angmnmafacal or corrnpt
reading in x. 14 KonMoA^ against Stb. Gk. KoroKpiS^ : xiv. 7
Kot \at \aAmiTct : XV. 9 hmripwv against Syn. Ok. di^pcivMy;
XV. II vt^ika.% against Syn. Gk. ve/Mffwiv: xviii. 5 paari'
fovrac iv vtijiiKji for /ScurreiCoi^as vf^Kat (?) : xxii. 4 hmftjtrav
for lirot^i?i](riu'. As no such phenomena are observable in the
combinatiouB £th. + Qiz. Qk. and Giz. Gk.4-S7n. Gk., it is
clear that of the three versions the "EUl and the Giz. Gk. are
bound together by a close relationship — in which they stand
to each other, either as parent and child, or as children of the
same parent. That the fonder ratiier than the Utter is the
ease we must infer from the conclnsion already arrived at in (i),
i.e. that the Giz. Gk. preserves no unqaeetionably tme reading
over against the otiier two versions, whereas the Eth. pre-
serves many sach. When I say that the Eth. and the Giz.
Gk. stand to each other in the relation of parent and child,
I mean, of coarse, that tie Etkiopie vertum vat made from a
text tihick vhu tie aneettor of that preMTved m the Oixeh MS.
This conclusion will receive farther confirmation in the sequel,
iv. The relationship existing between the Eth. and tiie
Syn, Gk. can be traced with tolerable cer^nty from Uie tacts
already before us. For, in the first place, not only does the
Syn. 6k. preserve many tme readings over against corrup-
tions in the Eth. and the Qiz. Gk., bot it also preserves
true readings over agunst tAe »ame corrvptioiu in these texts ;
and, in the next instancy it does not agree in any instance
with the Eth. in presenting the same cormption over agunst
the true text in the Giz. Gk. Hence, clearly, it is not
derived either from the Giz. Gk. or from the Gk. parent
of the Eth. text which we may designate x, bat stauds on
a position of equality with m. JFHnally, as there is repeatedly
an exact verbal agreement between the Syn. Gk. and the
Giz. Gk, which is the descendant of ai, the Syn. Gk. and x

proceed from the same original. Further examination showa

Hence the genealogy of the ahove documents might bo
represented ae follows :
OrIOIKAI. GRBSS TaAItSLATIQN FBOH THE HEBREW
Eth. Teraion Gii. 6k.
T. We shall now deal shortly with the general character
of the Oiz. Qk. and the Eth. on the score of additions, qmw-
nona, and corruptimu.
Whilst the undoubted additioiu in the Eth. are few and
trifling in viii. i; ix.4; zvi i ; xx.6; xziL Vi; xxiv. 3, tliere
ia a large list of such in the Giz. Gk. — in i. 3, 5, 6, 8, 9 j
ii. a ; V. I, a, 6, 8 ; viii. 1 ; 1. 1, 8 ; nv. 4, ao j rv. 1 1 ; iviii.
15 J xxii. 13 ; xxiv. 3, 4 ; ixvii. a.
As to omittioM, the Eth. is almost certainly gnilty in i i, 9 ;
V. 4,5; ix.6; xiii.8; iir.25; xv, ii; xi. 7; xxiL 2,5; iivi I :
but the list of these in the Giz. Gk. is many times Isr^ in
ii. 3; all iii and iv except six words; in vi, i, 2, 5, 6, 8;
iX' i> 5> 8 ; z. 10, 16, 19, ai (?) ; xii. 3 ; xiv. 3, 4, 14 ; xr. 2,
4, 8, 9, 10 ; xvi. I ; zriii 3, II; xix. I; xxi. 9; xxii. 5, 8;
xxiv. I, 2 ; xxviL i.
As regards corrvptiont, both versions are much at fault,
but the Giz. Gk. more so. In the Eth. these corruptions are
either native to the Eth. text or are due to the error of the
translator or are derived from a. There are found in i. 9

5, 8, 9; xxiii. 4; xxiv, 3, 5; xxvL 3, 4; xxvii. 5; xxviii. i;
xzx. I, 3; xxxi. 3, 3. The corniptionB in the Gtiz. Gk.
however, are more numerous and de^seated ; i. 2, 3, 9 ; v. i.

xxT. 3, 5; xxvi. 2; xxvii.3; xxTiii. %, 3; xxxi. 2,3; xxxiL 3,3.
There is another interesting; chkBB of comiptiong character-
istic of the Giz. Qk. from which the Eth. is comparatively
free : 1 e. transpoiitiotu of tie text. These are found in i. 2 ;
vi, 8; X. 19; xii. 4; xiiL i, lO; xiv. 15; xv. I3; xxv. 3, $;
xxxii. 2. In the £Ui. in ix. 8; xvii, 4; xix. i; xxi. 9;
xxviii. 3; xxxi. 2.
I have remarked above that the cormptionB in tite Giz.
Gh. are very deep-seated. In fact, witfaont the help of the
Eth. it would be impossible to retrieve the original text in
euob passages as x. 19 ; xiv. 15 ; xvii. 3 ; xxviiL 2, 3 and
others. The Eth., on the other hand, is by no means in sach
an evil strait. Hence the conclnsioit to which all the pre-
ceding facts point is that the Etk. pretemu a more ancient and
truiixorliy farm <^ text than the Giz. Gk. : thai it hat fewer
additions, fewer omittiont, and/ewer and leta eerunn comtpfione
than that text.
The results at which we have thus arrived are in perfect
harmony with the external history of tbe Qiz. Qk, text and
the Eth. version. The former cannot be earUer than the
eighth century, and may be as late as the twelfth It is
possible, therefore, that it is a descendant of the second
or third degree from «. This of itself would account for
some of the corruptions; but the real explanation of its
vicious orthography and Etyutax and of its very numerous
and serious corruptions is that the Book of Enoch was from
the fifth century onward practically a proscribed book and
under the ban of the Greek and Latin Churches. Accord-
ingly, it was copied without care, and the way was opened
for every kind of depravation of the text. The Eth. version
{circ. 500 A. D.), on the other hand, was, so far as we know,
iiizedbvGoOc^Ic
Appendix C. 325
regarded {rom the firet as a caoooical book of the Old Testa-
ment in the Ethiopic Church, and thus it was transmitted
with the greatest care and accuracy through successive copies
till the sixteenth centniy. After this dat« the text suffered
much from ignorant corrections.
vi. In my Introduction (pp. 'i\, 2z) I have treated the
question of a Hebrew original as one now practically settled.
In the case of chapters i-xxxii this view is now established
beyond the reach of controversy. The translator has trans-
literated Hebrew words which were not intelligible to him :
i.e. inx.A^fxa^iIpeovs=^]!Q9; inxviii.8<^ovKa=^; inxxviii. i
and xxix. i fuw&ojSopa and j3aj3d>ipa='^'^; in x. 19 pirous
=n3; in zxxi. 1 aappaii='^'^^ [and x.a\^av7f = J^^^rf]; and,
strangest of all, in xzvii. 2yTj=K'i, where this word has been
taken as a proper name, as occasionally in the LXX. (cf.
Ezek. xxzix. 15 ; l Sam. xiil 88).
In the following Critical Notes, Eth. = Ethiopic text of
Din. ; Giz. Gk.=text of Gizeh Greek fragment; Syn. Gk.=
text of Syncellns' Greek fragments. A, B, C, &c. designate
the Ethiopia MSS. described on p. 2. The English render-
ings intended to replace the corresponding passages in the
Translation are always printed in italics. The list of variants
given in the notes is not exhaustive, but no single variant
of any importance is omitted. Words bracketed ( ) are
supplied by me, and that ahnost universally from the Eth.
The source will be found in the-Notes. Such words are to be
r^arded as original constituents of the text. At times such
omissions are not supplied but are marked thus .... Words
bracketed { ) may be original, but are without a parallel in the
Eth. Words bracketed [] are corrupt additions. When the text
has called for drastic remedies, attention is drawn to tiie
emendation by a f placed in the ma^in. Such emeadatdons
are made almost universally on the authority of the Eth.

this can hardly be right. The idea of punishing dU the luminaries
is extravagant. It is more probable, therefore, that the author
derived Bagnel not from ^jn, ' to chastise,' but &om njn, 'to feed,'
' nourish,' ' govern,' In this case for Giz. Gk.' •kJWum' or Oi*. Qt.*
f«cii»< we should read /k&uikovv or ttoumir, and not iKdiK&y, We
should then translate Ragvd — viko feeda (or nouruAw) ih6 world
of th6 luminaritt. In like manner in this verm we should take
(cSiiMKw to be an earl^ corruption for iKiioucoCw or Buhmu-. Thus
Bagnel, whose ofiSce is to feed the fires of the luminaries, rightly
appears here : and the means of so doing is the restless fire ot
the west : cf. xvii. 4, Hence, for ' This burning fire ■ . . luminaries

LATIN FBAQMENT OF ENOCH CVL 1-18.
(FoiMd in MS. Brit. Mv. Seg. S. E. xiii. Saec. vm. ff. 79*>-8o.}
The following Latin fragment has been recently discovered
in tlie British Mneeutn by tlie Rev. M. B. James, King's
Collie, Cambridge, who 19 engaged in editing a Tolome of
Apocn/pha Anecdota. By his kindness I am pennitted to add
this interesting fragment to my Appendix. According to
Mr. JameSj this fragment is lotmd in an eighth century MS.
belonging probably to the Monastery at Rochester. It is
without a title. It follows a penitential edict of St. Boniface,
while it is preceded by an anonymous tract ' De vindictis
peocatorum.'
This MS. is a very imperfect representation of En. cri. i~i8.
It has BofFered from additions, omissions, and corruptions, uid
is very seldom a literal rendering of the original for many
words together. Notwithstanding, this fragment contrilnUet
to theformatioa of a better teait of CTIin not a few instances,
as will appear in the notes.
This MS. further may poifU to a Latin tratulaiton, or at
least to a partially completed Latin translation of Enoch;
for (i) occurring in the midst of original Latin treatises it
appears to have been found in Latin by the collector and
scribe of these treatises, (2) It has suffered much in the
course of tradition snd may, therefore, go back to a date
when the book of Enoch iras not reprobated generally, and

Appendix E. 373
wben a Latin translation woold have been aceeptable. (5} It
does not show signs o£ being an excerpt from a collection of
excerpts, each as we find in the Greek fragment of En. Izxxix.
42-49 (see p. 337, notes); but, standing as it does witihoat
any introdactoiy note or explanation, it looks more as if it
were drawn directly from at least a larger Latin fragment
of Enoch.
I have followed the speUing and punctuation of the MS. as
fumisbed to me by Mr. James. The italics denote expanded
CYI. I. Factum est autem [cum txset Lamech annorwne
^icentonun quinquagenta] natus est ei £Iia(H) 2. cui oeoli
sunt sicut radi solis capilli autem eiw candi(di)ores in septies
nine corpori autem eins (nemo hominum potest intueri)
3. et eorexit inter mmiuf obetetricis suae et adoraoit (et)
OVX I. The date here is a, foolish addition of some copyist. It
agrees oeither with the Hebrew, Ssnuaritan, nor LXX. chronology,
which reepectively give 182, G3, 188 years. 3. Oouli sunt
Bleat radl soils. This may safely be regarded as the true text.
C£ Eth. cvi. 10 and the words from the Petrine Apoc., quoted in
the note to that verse, p. 303. The corresponding Eth. text.
Jt^Jt<Tnh imV* (so GG'M)! M.eTtV- is corrupt— poBsibly
a corruption like Il0»i X7Ah AS'hjKi AOfTtI^=<£lf djn-Twt ^Xi'otr
ol f^AiXftol ovrav. Hence, for ' his long locks were white as wool,
and his eyes beautiful,' read uwn vshit» at wool and Mi tyee wan
Wee the rays of the «un. In Mptles or septies, aa in ver. 19, is
a cormptioD of capitis. Several words have been lost throu{^
hmt. : see ver. 10 (note), 3ffemo . , . intueri may be original
^ouStii TM atSpainar fJhif^ irriffKi^i. Cf. ApoC. Fetli f. I9.
After these words there is another lacuna. 3. Bt snrezit.
For tDtm=eb cnm, read a>AA7=et turn with O G*, and translate
i^^A not 'was taken,' but ar<M«=Burrexit. Hence, for 'when
he was taken from the hand,' read thereu^M he arose in the
handa. Make the same chaoge in ver. 11. Before «t adoraoit*
Etb. in w. 3, II, adds aperuit os suum. Corresponding to
adoravit here, there is oravit in ver. ii. For adoravit or oravit.

Etb. has 1V72 = coUocntuB est. This is wrong, and probably
ft corruption of •|*i3rt=grati«m petiit^ oravit or celebravit. For
' conrersed with,' read prayed to. Sominum uiuentem In
saecula. Eth.^Dominum justitiae. The eame phrase recurs in
ver. II, where Eth. = Dominum coeli. Iiaudault- Eth. omits
here but gives in rer. 11 (ldh-=benedixit, laudavit. Hence it is
probable that Latia ia right in both verses and that we should read
prayed to and bleated in ver. 3 for ' conversed with,' and in
ver. II for 'blessed.' 4, 5, 6. Tery fragmentaiy but nearly
right in sense, ironttus, clearly a translation of oyycXor, more
accurately rendered ' angel ' by Eth. Narrault illi omnia ram-
marisea w. 5, 6. 7. For Matliuaalem, read Mathusalah.
irtsl «amu«. Eth. gives a different sense. After Enoo two clauses
are omitted. 8. Very fragmentary. See p. 30a. Quid sat
quod uanlstL Eth. = quia venisti. Here Eth. is cormpt. TbB
corruption is clear from Qk. which ran Itoi iyb rtami pov JU W
iJXAc ; Hera Etb. translator read itiri instead of d^ ri. Hence, for
' for thou bast come,' read why hast thou come t 10. Oaplllla . . i
oorpori ; defective and corrupt. The confusion of order and loss
of words aeem t« have originated in the Latin version. The
latter supposes the following transposition : Cupilli aatem capitis
candidiores kna Candida, corporis autem ejna color candidior nive.
The eye of the copyist straying from candidioree to candidior, he
wrote nive instead of lana Candida before corporis. After nive
there stood originally et rubiior ulla ToaA= ipv6pirtpot norrii
ptfAov. So Eth. and Apoc. Fetri. Septlea, a corruption of capitis.
