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

i Tim. i. 15. 'Worthy of all ac-
ceptation ' (cf. iv. 9).
v. 21. 'The elect angels/
vi. 15. 'King of Kings and
Lord of Lords/
16. Dwelling in, the light
which no man can approach
unto, whom no man hath
seen/
General Introduction. 47
En. xciv. 1. ' Worthy of accepta-
tion/
En. xxxix. 1. 'Elect and holy
children of the high heaven/
En. ix. 4. ' Lord of Lords . . .
King of Kings/
En. xiv. 21. 'None of the angels
could enter (there) and no
man could behold the form of
the face of the Honoured and
Glorious One/
(d) Epistle to the Hebrews, This Epistle was probably written
by Barnabas. As we have seen above (p. 38) this writer cites
Enoch as Scripture in the Epistle which goes by his name.
Hebrews iv. 13. 'There is no
creature that is not mani-
fest in His sight : but all
things are naked and laid
open before the eyes of Him
with whom we have to do/
xi. 5. ' Enoch was translated
. . . for before his transla-
tion he had this testimony
that he pleased God.'
xi. 10. ' The city which hath
foundations whose builder
and maker is God ' (cf. xiii.
•4).
xii. 9. ' Father of spirits/
22.' The heavenly Jerusalem/
En. ix. 5. ' All things are naked
and open in Thy sight, and
Thou seest all things and
nothing can hide itself from
Thee/
The parallel passage must, it
seems, depend on the Enoch
book where Enoch is always
accounted an example of
righteousness and therefore
translated. Cf. xv. 1 ; lxxi.
14, &c. In Ecclus. xliv. 16
Enoch is translated indeed,
but is cited as an example of
repentance. Philo, De Abra-
Jiamo, speaks of the former
evil life of Enoch.
En. xc. 29. 'Where God Himself
builds the New Jerusalem.'
' Lord of spirits,
Similitudes.
En. xc. 29.
