1 Enoch: the Book of the Watchers (Chapters 1-36)

1 ENOCH 17

1 And they took [[and]] brought me to a place in which those who were there were like flaming fire, and, when they wished, they appeared as men. 2 And they brought me to the place of darkness, and to a mountain the point of whose summit reached to heaven. 3 And I saw the places of the luminaries [[and the treasuries of the stars]] and of the thunder [[and]] in the uttermost depths, where were a fiery bow and arrows and their quiver, and [[[[a fiery sword]]]] and all the lightnings. 4 And they took me to the living waters, and to the fire of the west, which receives every setting of the sun. 5 And I came to a river of fire in which the fire flows like water and discharges itself into the great sea towards the west. 6 I saw the great rivers and came to the great [[river and to the great]] darkness, and went to the place where no flesh walks. 7 I saw the mountains of the darkness of winter and the place whence all the waters of the deep flow. 8 I saw the mouths of all the rivers of the earth and the mouth of the deep.

Text. R. H. Charles, 1917. Translated for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and public domain by age. Double brackets mark words Charles restored by conjecture and a dagger marks a reading he judged corrupt. Verse numbers follow the marginal numbering of that printing and sometimes fall mid-sentence. The text was digitised by optical character recognition, so scattered typographic artifacts survive.
