And Raphael answered: This is the spirit which went out from Abel, whom his brother
Cain slew. He files a suit against him, that his offspring be destroyed from the face of the earth,
and his children, annihilated from among the children of men.
And Enoch asked "These hollow pits, why is one separated from the other?" And he answered:
"These 4 divisions have been made so that the spirits of the dead might be separated.
One is for the spirits of the righteous and in there, is a bright spring of waters." The 2nd
is for the spirits of sinners when they die and judgement had not been pronounced on them during
their lifetime. Here shall they be set apart in great pain until the day of the great judgement,
in which they shall be punished and tormented and bound forever. The 3rd
is for the spirits who make petitions, spirits who make disclosures concerning how they died,
who slew them and when they were slain in the days of sinners. And the last is for
sinners who are complete in transgression, and transgressors shall be their companions.
Their spirits shall not be destroyed on the day of judgement, but they shall be raised from there.
And Enoch was taken to another place, where he saw a burning fire which never rested nor
stopped. It burned ceaselessly, day and night. And so he asked: "What is this that never stops?"
And Raguel, another angel and one of his tour guides, answered, saying: "This course of
fire which you have seen, is the fire of the west, and the fire of all lights of heaven."
They continued to another place on the earth, where Enoch saw a great mountain of fire
which also burned day and night. Beyond that mountain were 7 different magnificent mountains
of precious stones, 3 to the east and 3 to the south. The 7th one was in the middle of the rest,
it resembled a throne and was higher than the rest. Around the throne were fragrant trees,
and among the fragrant trees, was one tree which was more fragrant and pleasant than the rest.
Its fragrance was beyond all fragrance, its leaves and wood never wither,and
its fruits were beautiful and shaped like the dates of a palm.
Enoch asked: What kind of tree is this beautiful tree, which is so fragrant and fair in appearance?
and Micahel questioned him, saying: "Why do you seek to know about the tree? Why do you wish to
know the truth?" And Enoch answered: "I wish to know everything, including this tree." And
Michael answered: "This high mountain which you have seen, whose summit is like the throne of God,
that is his throne, where the holy great one shall sit, when he shall come down to visit the earth
with goodness. As for this fragrant tree, no one mortal is permitted to touch it until the great
judgement, when he shall take vengeance on all and bring everything to its completion forever. Then
it shall be given to the righteous and holy, and its fruit shall be food for the elect.
It shall be transplanted to the holy place, to the temple of the lord. Then they shall rejoice and
be glad, and shall enter into the holy place, and the fragrance shall enter their bones. They shall
live long life on earth, and in their days there shall be no sorrow nor pain nor torment nor toil."
