Book of Enoch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Book of Enoch (also 1 Enoch; [1]Ge'ez: б€бЊЅб€ђбЌ€ ሄኖአm. Г¤tṣḥäf. Г¤ henok) is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great- grandfather of Noah, although modern scholars estimate the older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) to date from about 3.
BOOK OF ENOCH: TRANSLATED FR OM THE ETHIOPIC, WITH INTRODUCTION AND NOTES. BY REV. GEORGE H. SCHODDE, P H. D. whom many books were ascribed.¹ Thus we read of the “books” of Enoch in the Book of the Jubilees, Test. xii.
The opening verses of the Book of Enoch tell us that the revelations in this book were not meant for Enoch's generation, rather a remote generation, and of course the book would make more sense to the generations after YAHSHUA.
BC, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to the first century BC.[2]It is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel. Most Christian denominations and traditions may accept the Books of Enoch as having some historical or theological interest or significance, but they generally regard the Books of Enoch as non- canonical or non- inspired.[3] It is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, but not by any other Christian group. It is wholly extant only in the Ge'ez language, with Aramaic fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls and a few Greek and Latin fragments. For this and other reasons, the traditional Ethiopian belief is that the original language of the work was Ge'ez, whereas non- Ethiopian scholars tend to assert that it was first written in either Aramaic or Hebrew; Ephraim Isaac suggests that the Book of Enoch, like the Book of Daniel, was composed partially in Aramaic and partially in Hebrew.[4]: 6 No Hebrew version is known to have survived.
It is asserted in the book itself that its author was Enoch, before the Biblical Flood. The authors of the New Testament were familiar with the content of the story and influenced by it: [5] a short section of 1 Enoch (1 En 1: 9 or 1 En 2: 1 depending on the translation) is quoted in the New Testament (Epistle of Jude 1: 1. Enoch the Seventh from Adam" (1 En 6. The text was also utilised by the community that originally collected the Dead Sea Scrolls. Content[edit]The first part of the Book of Enoch describes the fall of the Watchers, the angels who fathered the Nephilim.
The remainder of the book describes Enoch's visits to heaven in the form of travels, visions and dreams, and his revelations. The book consists of five quite distinct major sections (see each section for details): Most scholars believe that these five sections were originally independent works[6] (with different dates of composition), themselves a product of much editorial arrangement, and were only later redacted into what we now call 1 Enoch. Canonicity[edit]Judaism[edit]Although evidently widely known during the development of the Hebrew Bible canon, 1 Enoch was excluded from both the formal canon of the Tanakh and the typical canon of the Septuagint and therefore, also from the writings known today as the Deuterocanon.[7][8] One possible reason for Jewish rejection of the book might be the textual nature of several early sections of the book that make use of material from the Torah; for example, 1 En 1 is a midrash of Deuteronomy 3.
The content, particularly detailed descriptions of fallen angels, would also be a reason for rejection from the Hebrew canon at this period – as illustrated by the comments of Trypho the Jew when debating with Justin Martyr on this subject. Trypho: "The utterances of God are holy, but your expositions are mere contrivances, as is plain from what has been explained by you; nay, even blasphemies, for you assert that angels sinned and revolted from God." (Dialogue 7. Christianity[edit]By the 4th century, the Book of Enoch was mostly excluded from Christian canons, and it is now regarded as scripture by only the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Church. References in the New Testament[edit]Enoch is referred to as a historical person and prophet, and quoted, in Jude 1: 1. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Compare this with Enoch 1: 9, translated from the Ethiopic (found also in Qumran scroll 4.
Q2. 04=4. QEnochc ar, col I 1. And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His Saints To execute judgment upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. Compare this also with what may be the original source of 1 En 1: 9 in Deuteronomy 3. The Lord came from Sinai and dawned from Seir upon us; he shone forth from Mount Paran; he came from the ten thousands of Saints, with flaming fire at his right hand. Under the heading of canonicity, it is not enough to merely demonstrate that something is quoted. Instead, it is necessary to demonstrate the nature of the quotation.[1. In the case of the Jude 1.
Enoch 1: 9, it would be difficult to argue that Jude does not quote Enoch as an historical prophet since he cites Enoch by name. However, there remains a question as to whether the author of Jude attributed the quotation believing the source to be the historical Enoch before the flood or a midrash of Deut 3. The Greek text might seem unusual in stating that "Enoch the Seventh from Adam" prophesied "to" (dative case) not "of" (genitive case) the men, however, this might indicate the Greek meaning “against them” - the dative τούτοις as a dativus incommodi (dative of disadvantage).[2. Peter H. Davids points to Dead Sea Scrolls evidence but leaves it open as to whether Jude viewed 1 Enoch as canon, deuterocanon, or otherwise: "Did Jude, then, consider this scripture to be like Genesis or Isaiah? Certainly he did consider it authoritative, a true word from God. We cannot tell whether he ranked it alongside other prophetic books such as Isaiah and Jeremiah.
What we do know is, first, that other Jewish groups, most notably those living in Qumran near the Dead Sea, also used and valued 1 Enoch, but we do not find it grouped with the scriptural scrolls."[2. The attribution "Enoch the Seventh from Adam" is apparently itself a section heading taken from 1 Enoch (1 En 6. Jude 1: 1. 4a) and not from Genesis.[2. Also, it has been alleged that 1 Peter 3: 1. Peter 2: 4–5 make reference to some Enochian material.[2. Reception[edit]The Book of Enoch was considered as scripture in the Epistle of Barnabas (1. Church Fathers, such as Athenagoras,[2.
Clement of Alexandria,[2. Irenaeus[2. 7] and Tertullian,[2. Book of Enoch had been rejected by the Jews because it contained prophecies pertaining to Christ.[2. However, later Fathers denied the canonicity of the book, and some even considered the Epistle of Jude uncanonical because it refers to an "apocryphal" work.[3. Ethiopic Orthodox Church[edit]The traditional belief of the Ethiopic Orthodox Church, which sees 1 Enoch as an inspired document, is that the Ethiopic text is the original one, written by Enoch himself. They believe that the following opening sentence of Enoch is the first and oldest sentence written in any human language, since Enoch was the first to write letters: "б‰ѓб€€бЌЎ በረከት፡ б‹б€„бЉ–бЉбЌЎ б‹бЉЁб€бЌЎ б‰Јб€ЁбЉЁбЌЎ ኅሩያነ፡ б‹€бЊ»б‹µб‰ѓбЉђбЌЎ бЉҐб€€бЌЎ ሀለዉ፡ б‹бЉ©бЉ‘""б‰ б‹•б€€б‰°бЌЎ ምንዳቤ፡ б€€бЉ б€°б€µб€ЋбЌЎ ኵሉ፡ бЉҐбЉ©б‹«бЉ•бЌЎ б‹€б€Ёб€Іб‹“бЉ•бЌў""QДЃla barakat za- HД“n.

The Book of Moses, found within the scriptural canon of the LDS Church, has several similarities to 1 Enoch,[3. Enoch, and is believed by the Church to contain extracts from "the ministry, teachings, and visions of Enoch".[3.

They were translated for and discussed by JГіzef Milik and Matthew Black in The Books of Enoch.[3. Another translation has been released by Vermes and Garcia- Martinez.[4.
