1 Enoch: the Book of the Watchers (Chapters 1-36)
1 ENOCH 31
1 And I saw other mountains, and amongst them were [[groves of]] trees, and there flowed forth from them nectar, which is named sarara and galbanum. 2 And beyond these mountains I saw another mountain [[to the east of the ends of the earth]], [[[[whereon were aloe trees]]]], and all the trees were full of stacte, being like almond-trees. 3 And when one burnt it, it smelt sweeter than any fragrant odour.

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.
