Chanuk (Enoch) — 85

1 After this I saw another dream, and explained it all to you, my son. Chanuk arose and said to his son Mathushalah: To you, my son, will I speak. Hear my word; and incline your ear to the visionary dream of your father. Before I married your mother Adna, I saw a vision on my bed;

2 And behold, a cow sprung forth from the Arath;

3 And this cow was white.

4 Afterwards a female calf sprung forth; and with it to other calves: the one was black, and one was red.

5 The black calf then struck the red one and pursued it over the Arath.

6 From that period I could see nothing more of the red calf; but the black one increased in bulk, and a female heifer came with him.

7 After this I saw that many cattle proceeded forth, resembling him, and following after him.

8 The first female young one also went out in the presence of the first cow; and sought the red calf but found him not.

9 And she lamented with a great lamentation, while she was seeking him.

10 Then I looked until that first cow came to her, from which time she became silent, and ceased to lament.

11 Afterwards she calved another white cow.

12 And again calved many cows and black heifers.

13 In my sleep also I perceived a white bull, which in like manner grew, and became a large white bull.

14 After him many white cows came forth, resembling him.

15 And they began to calve many white cows, which resembled them and followed each other.
