The book of Enoch : translated from Professor Dillmann's Ethiopic ...

General Introduction. 35
The account of the heavenly ' seven water torrents ' and
'the fountains of the great deep* are derived from
En. lxxxix. 2-7.
vi. Compare the account of the year of 364 days with its
implicit polemic against En. lxxiv. 10, 12; lxxv. 2;
lxxxii. 4, 6, 11.
vii. Compare the three classes of grants here described with
En. vii ; lxxxix. 6 : the constant prohibitions against
the eating of blood (cf. also xxi) with En. vii. 5
xcviii. 11: ' Enoch, the seventh in his generation
with En. xciii. 3.
viii. Mount Zion, the centre of the navel of the earth ' with
En. xxvi. 1, 2.
x. Compare the doctrine of this chapter and of xxi regarding
the demons, the children of the watchers with En. xv.
12-xvi (notes).
These demons are subject to Satan. Cf. En. liv. 6.
xi. The worship of idols and of demons (also in i and xxii).
Cf. En. xix. 1 ; xcix. 7.
xvi. Plant of righteousness ' (also in xxi), a phrase used of
Israel. Cf. En. x. 16 (note).
xxi. Compare the list of evergreen trees given here with En. iii.
xxiii. The life of the righteous though it extend to a thousand
years is still finite. Cf. En. v. 7 (note). There is no
resurrection of the body—apparently the teaching of
En. xci-civ.
The Apocalypse of Baruc7i, written not long after 70 a. d.,
has many affinities with Enoch both in diction and in thought,
and is manifestly dependent on it.
