146 The Booh of Enoch [Sect. II
17. And so there shall be length of days with that Son
of Man,
And the righteous shall have peace and an upright way
In the name of the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.'
17. Length, of days : i. b. an eternity.
An upright way (m). 'his upright
way '. gtu gives the reading of m in
a corrupt form. All the MSS. add
here ' to the righteous '.
Note on 71^*-". From the ahove it
follows that I do not regard our text aa
supporting the view which some modern
scholars have attached to it, i. e. the
elevation of Enoch to the dignity of
the Messiah : see Bousset, Mel. des
Judenthums, 348 ;
Dalman, Worte Jesu,
200. The former quotes in this con-
nexion 2 Enoch 22' 67^ Targ. Jon. on
Gen. 5" ; Ps. Clem. Horn, xviii. 13
Becoff. ii. 47.
