Chanuk (Enoch) — 65

1 In those days Nuah saw that the Arath became inclined, and that destruction approached.

2 Then he lifted up his feet, and went to the ends of the Arath, to the dwelling of his great grandfather Chanuk.

3 And Nuah cried with a bitter voice: Hear me; hear me; hear me: three times. And he said: Tell me what is transacting upon the Arath; for the Arath labors and is violently shaken. Surely, I shall perish with it.

4 After this there was a great perturbation on Arath, and a voice was heard from Shamaym. I fell down on my face, when my great grandfather Chanuk came and stood by me.

5 He said to me: Why have you cried out to me with a bitter cry and lamentation?

6 A commandment has gone forth from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH against those who dwell on the Arath, that they may be destroyed; for they know every secret of the Malakym, every oppressive and secret power of the devils, and every power of those who commit sorcery, as well as of those who make molten in the whole Arath.

7 How is silver produced from the dust of the Arath, and how on the Arath does the drop exist? For lead and tin are not produced from Arath, as the primary fountain of their production.

8 There is a Malak standing upon it, and that Malak struggles to prevail.

9 Afterwards my great grandfather Chanuk seized me with his hand, raising me up, and saying to me: Go, for I have asked 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut respecting this perturbation of the Arath, who replied: On account of their impiety have their innumerable judgments been consummated before me. Because of the sorceries which they have searched out and learned, the Arath and those who dwell upon it will be destroyed and that to these there will be no refuge forever.

10 They have discovered secrets, those who have been judged; but not you, my son. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'uth knows that you are pure and good from the reproach of secrets.

11 And the Qadash One, will establish your name in the midst of the Qadashym, and will guard you from those who dwell upon the Arath. 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH will establish your seed in righteousness, for kings and for great kabad; and from your seed shall spring forth righteousness and qadash men without number forever.
