XII-XVI. Dream Vision of Enoch : Jiin intercessmi for ArJheL
and the fallen Angels : and his announcement to them of their
first ami final doom.
XII. 1. Before these things Enoch was hidden, aad no one of
the children of men knew where he was hidden, and where he
XII-XVI. Vision of Enoch, in
which he intercedes on behalf of
Azazel and .the Watchers. The pro-
nouncement of their doom by God,
which Enoch announces to them. The
vision or ratlier visions are preserved
only in n, fragmentary condition, and
not in their original order—a fact which
is in part due to our editor, as we shall
find elsewhere, as in chapters 78-80
and 91-94. The doom pronounced ou
Azazel and the fallen angels in 10 has
not yet been executed ; .for Enoch is
asked to intercede on their behalf.
The oi-der of the original visions was
Enoch was asked to inter-
as follows 1
cede for Azazel. This Section is lost,
but its presence in the original
vision is implied in IS^"*, in which
he announces the result of liis mission
on Azazel's behalf and pronounces
his doom. Next the Watchers be-
sought him to intercede on their
behalf, IS' 123 134-7. Enoch has a
fresh vision, 13*. When he awakes
from it he proceeds to the Watchers
and recounts it to them, 13'-". The
vision is related at length, and all that
God said relating to the Watchers, their
original condition, their sin and their
doom, 14^-16^. Finally, the section
closes with the message of doom which
Enoch is bidden to take to the Watchers,
16*— '. But this message appears in
a duplicate form in 12*-8. The latter
is more original since it reflects the
discourse of God to Enoch in his vision.
This repetition is thoroughly Semitic.
