would be merely a useless repetition of 14— a description of
God^s habitation.
(7) 72-82. Chapter 80 gives us the somewhat artificial con-
nexion by which ' the writer ' has joined on this treatise on
the stars to a book on the Messianic kingdom :
the fair order
described in 72-82 will change in the days of the sinners. This
Section has not come down to us in its original condition. 76-77
deal with the winds, the points of the compass, &c., though these
subjects have not been promised in 72*. Moreover, 79'"^ and
82^"'' each form a conclusion : 82^"^" is incomplete, and ought
to come before 79. Despite the partial resemblance in the sub-
ject, especially in regard to the second source of 17-36 ( = 21-36),
72—82 is not, at least in its original form, by the same author as
21-36. For instance, the function of Uriel in 72^ agrees with
that in 20^ 21« ; but Uriel writes for Enoch, 33^ while Enoch
writes himself, 74^.

88-108. This part is quite in harmony with the subject
proposed in 1^. Beer reckons in this Section six fragments more
or less distinct: first, 83-84; second, 85-90; third, the Apo-
calypse of Weeks, 92 93i-" gi^^-". fourth, the admonitions,
911-11, 17, 18 94_i05 ; fifth, 106-107 ; sixth, 108. The Messiah
occurs in 90"' ^^, but not at all in 1-36 or 72-82. This Messiah,
sprung from Abraham, is .not the Messiah of the Parables, who
is a heavenly, pre-existent being.
Finally, Beer thus assigns the various passages to their different
sources: A, from the Enoch cycle, (1) 1-5, (2) 12-16, (3) 17-19
(4) 20-26, (5) 37-69, (6) 70-71, (7) 72-82, (8) 83-84, (9) 85-
90, (10) 92 931-" 9112-"^ (11) 911-" 94-105, (12) 108. Of
these (5) and (7) may be subdivided, as above. B, from the Noah
cycle, (13) 6-11, (14) 391- 2" 54^-55^ 60 65-69^5, (15) 106 107.
Martin, Le Livre d'Henoch trachiit sur le texte etJiiopien,
1906. This scholar (see pp. Ixxxviii-xcvii) designates the Book
of Enoch as a mosaic composed of nine or ten distinct works or
traditions emanating from the Enoch cycle. These are 1° 1-5 ;
2° 6-16 20-36, before 166 b.c; 3" 17-19, before 166 B.C.;
4° 37-69, 95-78 B.C.; 5° 70-71; 6° 72-82, before 135 e.g.;
