1 ENOCH 26

1 And I went from thence to the middle of the earth, and I saw a blessed place [[in which there were trees]] with branches abiding and blooming [of a dismembered tree]. 2 And there I saw a holy mountain, [[[[and]]]] underneath the mountain to the east there was a stream and it flowed towards the south. 3 And I saw towards the east another mountain higher than this, and between them a deep and narrow ravine: in it also ran a stream [[underneath]] the mountain. 4 And to the west thereof there was another mountain, lower than the former and of small elevation, and a ravine [[deep and dry]] between them: and another deep and dry ravine was at the extremities of the three [[mountains]]. 5 And all the ravines were deep [[[[and narrow]]]], (being formed) of hard rock, and trees were not planted upon them. 6 And I marveled [[[[at the rocks, and I marveled]]]] at the ravine, yea, I marveled very much.

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.
