The Book of Enoch.
His dwelling ' : and x. 4—Tremebit terra, usque ad fines suas
concutietur, et alti montes humiliabuntur et concutientur with
En. i. 5, 6, ' unto the ends of the earth—the high mountains
will be shaken and—made low/
In the Book of Jubilees, written before 70 A. D v Enoch is
largely drawn upon : cp. Book of Jubilees
ch. 1. ' I have forsaken them because of all the evil they have
wrought—in forsaking the covenant ' with En. lxxxix.
5i, 54.

the day of the new creation/ &c< with En. lxxii. 1.
11. In this chapter the ideas of En. lx. 16-21 are further
developed and a presiding spirit is assigned to every
natural phenomenon,
in. In this chapter there is the first mention of the * heavenly
tables '—a phrase borrowed from Enoch. See for full
treatment of this phrase xlvii. 3 (note),
iv. ' Jared : for in his days the angels of the Lord descended
on the earth.' Cf. En. vi. 6 ; cvi. 13.
' He took himself a wife and her name was Edna/ Cf.
En. lxxxv. 3.
' He was with the angels of God six years of this jubilee.'
Cf. En. xii. 1. This refers to Enoch's temporary
sojourning with the angels.
' They (i. e. the angels) showed him (i. e. Enoch) every-
thing in earth and heaven—and he wrote it all down.'
Cf. En. xxi-xxxvi ;
lxxii-lxxxii.
1 He testified to the watchers/ &c, En. xii-xiv. 7.
1 We conducted him (i. e. Enoch) into the Garden of
Eden.' This refers to Enoch's final translation. Cf.
En. lxx.
* There he writes down/ En. xii. 4. ' The Scribe.' Cf.
xv. 1 ; xcii. 1.
v. He (i. e. God) bade us bind them (i. e. the fallen
watchers) in the depths of the earth.' Cf. En.
x. 4-12.
The account as to the destruction of the children of the
watchers depends directly on En. x. 12 ; xii. 6.
