224 The Booh of Enoch [Sect. V
XCII. XCI. 1-10; 18-19. Enoch's Book of Admonitionfor
his Children.
XCII. 1. The book written by Enoch— [Enoch indeed wrote
this complete doctrine of wisdom^ (which is) praised of all men
and a judge of all the earth] for all my children who shall dwell
on the earth. And for the future generations who shall observe
u.prightness and peace.
2. Let not your spirit be troubled on account of the times
For the Holy and Great One has appointed days for all
things.
3. And the righteous one shall arise from sleep,
[Shall arise] and walk in the paths of righteousness,
And all his path and conversation shall be in eternal good-
ness and grace.
XCI—XCIV. In this edition I have
rearranged these chapters in what I
suggested was their original order in
my first edition, i. e. 02 911-". "-"
931-10 9112-17 94^ and have treated the
Apocalypse ofWeeks, i.e. 831-" 91"-i',
as an earlier fragment incorporated by
the author of 91-104 or the editor of the
whole book in his work (as suggested
in my first edition, p. 267). Of the
extent of this Apocalypse I will treat
ill loc. The order of these chapters,
which appears to be the original, and
which is restored in this edition, is 92
(sec p. 218)
911-1". 18-1" 931-10 9112-17
94. Beer, on the other hand, takes
'.111-11.18-1° as forming the introduction
to the Apocalypse of Weeks, and
thus arranges the text 911-". I8-19
93 91"-" 9-2 94. INIartin follows Beer
in this respect, though he admits that
92 should perhaps be placed before
011-11.
XCII. This chapter obviously forms
the beginning of a new book just as
] 41 formed originally the beginning
of the section 12-16 ; see p. 27. The
words 'The book written', &c., evi-
dently introduce a fresh collection of
visions. 1. The book . . . indeed
wrote ((/). Other MSS. ' written by
Enoch the scribe'. [Enoch indeed . .
all the earth]. I have, with some hesi-
tation, bracketed these words as an
interpolation. Enoch does not attempt
a complete doctrine of wisdom, and
seeing that it was for the chosen race
only it could hardly be said to be
' praised of all men '. "Wrote. Cf.
12^. *. This complete doctrine
of wisdom, (which is) praised

plete doctrine ', &c., /3-«/ 'this complete
