sons were priests to the Tribe of Dan until the captivity of the
land.
These lines mean that for generations Moses' own grandson
Jonathan and his descendants acted as priests of idol-worship in Israel.
Jerome wrote of the Book of Enoch: 615
We have read in a certain apocryphal book that when the sons of
God were coming down to the daughters of men, they descended
into Ardos, which is the summit Mount Hermon.
For those interested in UFO theories, Mount Hermon is where it
all happened. Ancient legends attribute a sacred character to Mount
Hermon. 616 It was supposedly the residence of the children of Seth at the
beginning of human existence. 617 The Valentinians regarded these sons of
Seth as Sons of God who led a pious and secluded life on Mount Hermon,
musing about paradise. 618
Hermon is also the mountain of God, called Bashan: 619
The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of
Bashan. Why leap ye, ye high hills? This is the hill which God
desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in forever.
Modern surveys have located more than twenty temples on
Mount Hermon, an unprecedented number in comparison with other
regions of the Phoenician coast. 620 The Mount abounds with shrines to
the Canaanite goddess Asherah or Astarte. 621
This led the Church father Jerome to write that Hermon was an
anathema, by which he meant a forbidden place. 622
The name Hermon derives from the Laconian dialect for stone
heap. 623 Hermon is He of the stone heap. Archeologists discovered such
a heap of hewn stone within the ruins of a circular wall on one of the three
secondary peaks. In fact, all monumental walls and buildings built of
ashlars, or cut stones, represent Hermon. He is also equivalent to Hermes,
or Thoth-Hermes, the biblical Ham. Pan or Mercury was Hermes’ son.
The Druids formed circles from monoliths and piles of stones on
top of hills or mounds. They called these circles Si'un (Sions or Zions) or
Caers. During their rituals, the Chief Druid stood in the center of the
circle at the large, central Stone of the Covenant. The Irish called the
central stone Bethel, meaning the house of God. Each May-eve and first
of November the Druids built great fires on these Sions so the people all
around could see the flames. 624 The same may be true of the many follytowers
in England.
