And Enoch disappeared and none of the children of men knew where he had gone.
He lived 365 years on earth, and begat Methuselah, who begat Lamech, who then begat Noah.
Enoch walked with the lord, and when his days were complete, he was allowed to ascend into
the heavens while he was still alive, and what became of him and his activities were
known only by the holy ones and the watchers.
As Enoch blessed the name of the king of ages, he was called by the the holy watchers, the
holy angels who watch, and they said to him: "Enoch, you scribe of righteousness, go to
the watchers who have left heaven, the holy eternal place, and have done as the children
of earth do, taking wives for themselves and defiling themselves.
Tell them that they have done great destruction on earth, and that they shall have no peace
nor forgiveness of sin.
Since they deilght themselves in their children, they shall see the murder and destruction
of their children, and they shall lament and make supplication, but they shall recieve
no mercy."
Enoch did as instructed and said to Azazel: "You shall have no peace, a severe sentence
has been passed against you.
You shall have neither rest nor mercy, nor shall any of your requests be granted, "because
of the unrighteousness and all works of godlessness which you have taught and shown to men.
When Enoch had spoken to all of the watchers who fell, they were seized with fear.
They asked him to make a petition for them in the presence of the lord of heaven, that
they might find forgiveness.
They had been condemned and thus, forbidden to speak with the lord.
They were to no longer lift their eyes to the heavens because of the shame of their
sins.
Enoch wrote out their petition for forgiveness and forbearance, individually, then sat down
at waters of Dan, southwest of Hermon, and read out the petition until he fell asleep.
He had a vision of the punishment of the watchers, and a voice instructed him to disapprove their
petition and rebuke them.
When he awoke, he came to the watchers as they sat together in Abelsjail, which is between
Lebanon and Seneser.
Their faces were covered and they were weeping.
And Enoch recounted to them all he had seen in his vision and began to reprimand them.
He said to them: 'The great one has given me the power to reprimand the watchers,children
of heaven.
I wrote out your petition and in my vision it appeared that your petition will not be
granted to you throughout the days of your eternity, and judgement has finally been passed
on you.
From here onwards, you shall not ascend into heaven again for all eternity, and you shall
be bound on earth for all eternity.
But before this, you shall see the destruction of your beloved sons, they shall fall before
you by the sword.
And no petition on their behalf would be granted, even if you weep and pray and say all the
words of my writings."
And then he narrated his vision to them, that he was summoned into the clouds which flashed
with lightning, and the winds lifted him up into the heavens.
He was taken to a large house which was built out of crystals, with doors of blazing fire,
and surrounded by tongues of fire.
The walls of the house were like a mosaic of hailstones, and the floor was as white
as snow.
The ceiling was like the path of the stars and lightning flashes, and between them were
the fiery cherubim.
The house was as hot as fire and cold as ice, there were no pleasures or life in it, and
Enoch fell on his face out of fear.
Then he saw a 2nd house, similar to the first, but greater than the first.
Its doors stood open for him and the house was magnificently built.
He beheld a throne set on high, it was made of crystals, and its wheels were like a shining
sun, and around it were the Cherubim.
From underneath the throne flowed a river of fire, and He Who Is Great In Glory sat
on the throne, his clothings whiter than snow and brighter than the sun.
None of the angels could behold his face because of his glory, and a great fire stood in front
of him that no one could draw close to him.
The most holy ones who surround his throne did not leave day or night, and when Enoch
had seen all these, he fell on his face, trembling.
And the great one said to him: "Come here enoch and hear my word."
As he said this, one of the holy ones picked Enoch up and brought him to the door, where
he bowed face before the throne.
The lord spoke to him, saying: "Do not be afraid Enoch, go and tell the watchers for
whom you have come to intercede, that they should intercede for men, and not men for
them.
Why have they left the holy and eternal heaven and taken women as wives, laying with them
and defiling themselves.They have done like the children of earth and have begotten giants.
They have hardened their hearts and have revealed the mysteries of heaven to the children of
men, and through these mysteries, men and women work much evil on earth.
Though they were holy and living the eternal life, they have defiled themselves with the
blood of women, and have begotten children with the blood of flesh, and like the children
of men, their children have lusted after blood and flesh, like those who die and are killed.
"
"This is why I have given men wives, that they might multiply, and their deeds might
continue on the earth.
But they, the watchers, are spiritual and immortal for all generations, therefore I
have not appointed wives for them.
They are spiritual beings of heaven and heaven was their dwelling place.
And now, hear me.
The giants born from the spirit and the flesh shall become evil spirits on earth.
At their death, evil spirits shall come out of their bodies, and shall live on earth,
because they are born from men and from the holy watchers, and their beginning is of primal
origin.
They shall be evil spirits and evil spirits shall they be called.
For the spirits of heaven, the heavens shall be their dwelling place.
But for the spirits of earth which were born on earth, the earth shall be their dwelling.
And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and the women, for they proceeded
from them in the days of slaughter and destruction.
At the death of the giants, spirits shall emerge from their corpses, and shall attack
and oppress, afflict and cause trouble on earth, but they shall not be observed.
They shall destroy without incurring judgement, until the day of the great judgement in which
all ages shall be consummated over the watchers and the godless.
Now go to the watchers, and tell them as I have told you.
They shall have no peace"
