1 ENOCH 23

1 From thence I went to another place to the west of the ends of the earth. 2 And I saw a [[[[burning]]]] fire which ran without resting, and paused not from its course day or night but (ran) regularly. 3 And I asked saying: 'What is this which rests not?' 4 Then Raguel, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered me [[[[and said unto me]]]]: 'This course [[of fire]] [[[[which thou hast seen]]]] is the fire in the west which +persecutes+ all the luminaries of heaven.' XXIV. XXV. The Seven Mountains in the North-West and the Tree of Life.

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.
