1 Enoch: the Book of the Watchers (Chapters 1-36)
1 ENOCH 28
1 And thence I went [[[[towards the east]]]], into the midst [[[[of the mountain range of the desert]]]], and I saw a wilderness and it was solitary, full of trees and plants. 2 [[[[And]]]] water gushed forth from above. 3 Rushing like a copious watercourse [which flowed] towards the north- west it caused clouds and dew to ascend on every side.

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.
