The Book of Enoch<br />
he wrote down each one that was destroyed by those shepherds. And he<br />
brought up, and presented, the whole book to the Lord of the sheep,<br />
everything they had done and all that each one of them had made away<br />
with, and all that they had handed to destruction.<br />
89.71 And the book was read out in front of the Lord of the sheep, and he<br />
took the book in his hand, read it, sealed it, and put it down.<br />
89.72 And after this I saw how the shepherds pastured for twelve hours,<br />
and behold three of those sheep returned, and arrived, and came and began<br />
to build up all that had fallen down from that house; but the wild boars<br />
hindered them so that they could not.<br />
89.73 And they again began to build, as before, and they raised up that<br />
tower, and it was called the high tower. And they began again to place a<br />
table before the tower but all the bread on it was unclean and was not pure.<br />
89.74 And, besides all this, the eyes of these sheep were blinded so that<br />
they could not see, and their shepherds likewise. And they handed yet<br />
more of them over to destruction, and they trampled on the sheep with their<br />
feet, and devoured them.<br />
89.75 But the Lord of the sheep remained still, until all the sheep were<br />
scattered abroad, and had mixed with them, and they did not save them<br />
from the hands of the animals.<br />
89.76 And that one who wrote the book brought it up, showed it, and read<br />
it out in the dwelling of the Lord of the sheep. And he entreated Him on<br />
behalf of them, and petitioned Him, as he showed Him all the deeds of their<br />
shepherds and testified in front of Him against all the shepherds.<br />
89.77 And he took the book, put it down by Him, and went out.<br />
90.1 And I looked until the time that thirty-five shepherds had pastured the<br />
sheep the same way, and, each individually; they all completed their time<br />
like the first ones. And others received them into their hands to pasture<br />
them, at their time, each shepherd at his own time.<br />
