Introduction
Introduction to Chanok Bet (The Second Book of Chanok)
Within the Framework of The Ivri Heritage Bible
The text presented here, titled Chanok Bet (הַסֵּפֶר הַשֵּׁנִי לַחֲנוֹךְ — The Second Book of Chanok) and traditionally known as The Book of the Secrets of Enoch, stands as a monumental masterpiece of early apocalyptic literature restored within the multi-volume architecture of The Ivri Heritage Bible. This profound pseudepigraphal record documents the celestial ascent of the patriarch Chanok (Enoch) through the ten distinct levels of the heavenly cosmos, his transformation into an eternal angelic being, and the comprehensive cosmic, astronomical, and ethical instructions he delivered to his children before his ultimate translation.
By recovering this text from its historical Slavonic prose transmission and filtering it through an uncompromised Hebraic-Messianic Nazarene alignment, this edition strips away generic Hellenistic vocabulary to lay bare the deep, priestly realities understood by the first-century Netzarim (Nazarene) community.
Textual Methodology: Restoring the Sacred Names and Hebraic Lexicon
In strict alignment with the textual design of The Ivri Heritage Bible, this edition embeds the authentic Hebrew scripts, covenantal names, and foundational vocabulary directly into the prose framework: • The Supreme Creator: The ultimate covenantal Name of the Father is restored as Yahuah (יְהוָה), accompanied by Elohim (אֱלֹהִים) and the majestic patriarchal title El Shaddai (אֵל שַׁדַּי — God Almighty). • The Patriarchal Record: The text honors the line of the fathers in bold transliteration, mapping Chanok (חֲנוֹךְ) alongside his sons Metushelach (מְתוּשֶׁלַח), Regim, Gaidad, and the rest of his household. • Cosmic Geography and Angelic Orders: Essential metaphysical realities are returned to their original designations, including the heavenly hosts of Keruvim (כְּרוּבִים) and Serafim (שְׂרָפִים), the highest heaven known as Aravot (עֲרָבוֹת), the paradisiacal expanses of Pardes (פַּרְדֵּס) and Eden (עֵדֶן), and the fallen giants known as the Nefilim (נְפִילִים). • Ethical and Calendrical Codes: Structural markers utilize true Hebraic-Nazarene terms, such as Mishpat (מִשְׁפָּט) for righteous judgment, Mitzvot (מִצְוֹת) for divine commandments, Nefashot (נְפָשׁוֹת) for living souls, Shabbat (שַׁבָּת) for the set-apart Sabbath, and Olam (עוֹלָם) for eternity.
The Topography of the Heavens: A Summary of the Vision
The text traces Chanok’s structural elevation through the celestial architecture, led by two radiant, fiery angelic guides: • The First and Second Heavens (Chapters 3–7): Chanok is carried onto the clouds of the first heaven, where he witnesses a vast celestial sea and measures the 200 Mal'achim (angels) governing the stellar orders alongside the immense, terrible storehouses of snow, dew, and frost. Ascending to the second heaven, he confronts a boundless darkness where the weeping, chained Mal'achim who staged an apostasy against Yahuah hang in torment, awaiting the final Mishpat. • The Third Heaven: Paradise and Hell (Chapters 8–10): The third level contains an intense dual layout. To the south lies the blissful realm of Pardes, featuring the sweet-smelling, gold-and- vermilion Tree of Life where Yahuah rests—a sanctuary explicitly prepared as an eternal inheritance for the Tzaddikim (righteous) who feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and walk without fault. Conversely, the northern side reveals a terrible, unillumined gloom of frost, ice, and murky fire—a place of cruel torment prepared for those who practice sins against nature, engage in witchcraft, oppress the poor, and bow to soulless, lifeless idols. • The Fourth Heaven: The Solar and Lunar Mechanics (Chapters 11–16): Chanok receives an extensive, highly advanced mathematical and astronomical briefing detailing the tracks and gates of the sun and the moon. He charts the 365¼-day solar cycle escorted by 8,000 stars and marvelous, empurpled hybrid entities called phoenixes and chalkidri, alongside the 354-day lunar track, demonstrating how the cosmic design perfectly fulfills the temporal dimensions of the Shanah (year). • The Fifth and Sixth Heavens: The Grigori and Archangels (Chapters 18–19): In the fifth heaven, Chanok encounters the countless, withered, and silent armies of the Grigori (Watchers), who rejected Yahuah alongside their prince Satanail. He admonishes them to resume their service, prompting a pitiful corporate trumpet blast that ascends to the throne. In the sixth heaven, he observes the seven bright bands of archangels who record the Nefashot and deeds of mankind, govern the seasons, rivers, and fruits of the earth, and continuously maintain the perfect administration of the cosmos. • The Seventh Through Tenth Heavens: The Face of Yahuah (Chapters 20–22): Reaching the highest firmaments, Chanok enters the intense light of Aravot. Guided by the archangel Gavri’el and lifted by Mikha’el, he is divested of his earthly garments, anointed with sweet dew, and dressed in robes of glory, transforming into the exact likeness of the glorious ones. He is granted an eyewitness view of the awe-inspiring, glowing face of Yahuah sitting upon His un-made throne.
Primeval Disclosures and the Pre-Existence of Souls
In Chapters 24 through 35, Yahuah commands the scribe Prawe’el to provide Chanok with quick-writing pens and 366 books of wisdom, unsealing secrets never disclosed even to the angels. Yahuah details the creation of the visible world from the invisible realms of light and darkness (Doyle and Archas), the shaping of lightning and the ten angelic ranks out of hard rock, and the composition of Adam from seven distinct consistencies. Crucially, the text codifies a major eschatological reality: all Nefashot (souls) of mankind were explicitly prepared to eternity before the very formation of the world, and individual places of repose or judgment have already been mapped out for each soul.
A Prophetic Blueprint for the End of the Age
Returning to earth for a strict term of 30 days, Chanok delivers these books of handwriting to his sons, charging them to distribute them from generation to generation. He provides a fierce ethical code regarding the humane treatment of animals, the absolute necessity of a pure heart over hollow, murmuring sacrifices, and the strict avoidance of deceit and idolatry. He warns that the continuous generational rejection of the Mitzvot will inevitably trigger a devastating worldwide deluge.
However, looking past the judgment, Chanok unrolls the ultimate promise of the Olam (Eternity): a boundless, timeless eon where time, years, months, and hours will cease to be counted. In that great indestructible era, the Tzaddikim will be collected to live eternally in an incorruptible Pardes, completely free from labor, sickness, humiliation, and darkness.
The book closes with a solemn liturgical baseline as a dark shroud covers the earth, and Chanok is seamlessly taken up into the highest heaven before his awe-struck companions. Metushelach and his brothers immediately erect a Mizbe'ach (מִזְבֵּחַ — altar) at the translation site of Achesusan, cementing an enduring covenantal landmark of praise that speaks straight to the discerning remnant of the last generations.
Chapter 1
1
There was a wise man, a great artificer, and Yahuah (יְהוָה, the Lord) conceived love for him, and received him that he should behold the uppermost dwellings, and be an eyewitness to the wise and great and inconceivable and immutable realm of El Shaddai (אֵל שַׁדַּי, God Almighty), of the very wonderful and glorious and bright and many-eyed station of Yahuah's servants, and of the inaccessible throne of Yahuah, and of the degrees and manifestations of the incorporeal hosts, and of the ineffable ministration of the multitude of the elements, and of the various apparitions and inexpressible singing of the hosts of Keruvim (כְּרוּבִים, cherubim), and of the boundless light.
2
At that time, he said, "When my 165th Shanah (שָׁנָה, year) was completed, I begat my son Metushelach (מְתוּשֶׁלַח, Methuselah).
3
After this, too, I lived 200 Shanim (שָׁנִים, years) and completed all the Shanim of my life, 365 Shanim.
4
On the first Yom (יוֹם, day) of the Chodesh (חֹדֶשׁ, month), I was in my house alone and was resting on my bed and slept.
5
And when I was asleep, great distress came up into my heart, and I was weeping with my eyes in sleep, and I could not understand what this distress was or what would happen to me.
6
And there appeared to me two men, exceeding big, so that I never saw such on Eretz (אֶרֶץ, earth).
7
Their faces were shining like the sun.
8
Their eyes, too, were like a burning light, and from their lips was fire coming forth, with clothing and singing of various kinds, in appearance purple, their wings brighter than gold, their hands whiter than snow.
9
They were standing at the head of my bed and began to call me by my name.
10
And I arose from my sleep and saw clearly those two men standing in front of me.
11
And I saluted them and was seized with fear, and the appearance of my face was changed from terror.
12
And those men said to me, "Have courage, Chanok (חֲנוֹךְ, Enoch). Do not fear.
13
The eternal Elohim (אֱלֹהִים, God) sent us to you.
14
And lo, you shall today ascend with us into Shamayim (שָׁמַיִם, heaven, the heavens), and you shall tell your sons and all your household all that they shall do without you on Eretz in your house, and let no one seek you till Yahuah return you to them."
15
And I made haste to obey them and went out from my house and made to the doors as it was ordered me, and summoned my sons Metushelach and Regim and Gaidad and made known to them all the marvels those men had told me.
Chapter 2
1
"Listen to me, my children.
2
I know not whither I go or what will befall me.
3
Now, therefore, my children, I tell you, turn not from Elohim before the face of the vain who made not Shamayim and Eretz, for these shall perish and those who worship them.
4
And may Yahuah make confident your hearts in the fear of him.
5
And now, my children, let no one think to seek me until Yahuah return me to you."
Chapter 3
1
It came to pass when Chanok had told his sons that the Mal'achim (מַלְאָכִים, angels) took him on their wings and bore him up onto the first Shamayim and placed him on the clouds.
2
And there I looked, and again I looked higher and saw the ether.
3
And they placed me on the first Shamayim and showed me a very great sea, greater than the earthly sea.
Chapter 4
1
They brought before my face the elders and rulers of the stellar orders and showed me 200 Mal'achim who rule the stars and their services to the Shamayim and fly with their wings and come round all those who sail.
Chapter 5
1
And here I looked down and saw the treasure houses of the snow and the Mal'achim who keep their terrible storehouses and the clouds whence they come out and into which they go.
Chapter 6
1
They showed me the treasure house of the dew like oil of the olive and the appearance of its form as of all the flowers of the Eretz.
2
Further, many Mal'achim guarding the treasure houses of these things and how they're made to shut and open.
Chapter 7
1
And those men took me and led me up onto the second Shamayim and showed me darkness, greater than earthly darkness.
2
And there I saw prisoners hanging, watched, awaiting the great and boundless Mishpat (מִשְׁפָּט, judgment).
3
And these Mal'achim were dark-looking more than earthly darkness and incessantly making weeping through all hours.
4
And I said to the men who were with me, "Wherefore are these incessantly tortured?"
5
They answered me, "These are elohim's apostates who obeyed not Elohim's commands but took counsel with their own will and turned away with their prince who also is fastened on the fifth Shamayim."
6
And I felt great pity for them.
7
And they saluted me and said to me, "Man of Elohim, pray for us to Yahuah."
8
And I answered to them, "Who am I, a mortal man, that I should pray for Mal'achim?
9
Who knows whither I go or what will befall me?
10
Or who will pray for me?"
Chapter 8
1
And those men took me thence and led me up onto the third Shamayim and placed me there.
2
And I looked downwards and saw the produce of these places such as has never been known for goodness.
3
And I saw all the sweet-flowering trees and beheld their fruits, which were sweet-smelling, and all the foods borne by them bubbling with fragrant exultation.
4
And in the midst of the trees, that of life in that place whereon Yahuah rests when he goes up into Pardes (פַּרְדֵּס, paradise), and this tree is of ineffable goodness and fragrance and adorned more than every existing thing.
5
And on all sides, it is in form gold-looking and vermilion and fire-like and covers all, and it has produce from all fruits.
6
Its root is in the garden at the Eretz's end.
7
And Pardes is between corruptibility and incorruptibility.
8
And two springs come out which send forth honey and milk, and their springs send forth oil and wine, and they separate into four parts and go round with quiet course, and go down into the Pardes of Eden (עֵדֶן, Eden) between corruptibility and incorruptibility.
9
And thence they go forth along the Eretz and have a revolution to their circle even as other elements.
10
And here, there is no unfruitful tree, and every place is blessed.
11
And there are 300 Mal'achim, very bright, who keep the garden, and with incessant sweet singing and never-silent voices serve Yahuah throughout all Yamim (יָמִים, days) and hours.
12
And I said, "How very sweet is this place?"
13
And those men said to me,
Chapter 9
1
"This place, oh Chanok, is prepared for the Tzaddikim (צַדִּיקִים, the righteous) who endure all manner of offense from those that exasperate their Nefashot (נְפָשׁוֹת, souls), who avert their eyes from iniquity and make righteous Mishpat and give bread to the hungering and cover the naked with clothing and raise up the fallen and help injured orphans, and who walk without fault before the face of Yahuah and serve him alone.
2
And for them is prepared this place for eternal inheritance."
Chapter 10
1
And those two men led me up onto the northern side and showed me there a very terrible place.
2
And there were all manner of tortures in that place, cruel darkness and unillumined gloom.
3
And there is no light there, but murky fire constantly flaming aloft.
4
And there is a fiery river coming forth, and that whole place is everywhere fire, and everywhere there is frost and ice, thirst and shivering, while the bonds are very cruel and the Mal'achim fearful and merciless, bearing angry weapons, merciless torture. And I said, "Woah. Woah.
5
How very terrible is this place?"
6
And those men said to me, "This place, O Chanok, is prepared for those who dishonor Elohim, who on Eretz practice sin against nature, which is child corruption after the sodomitic fashion, magic making, enchantments, and devilish witchcrafts, and who boast of their wicked deeds, stealing, lies, calumnies, envy, rancor, fornication, murder, and who, accursed, steal the Nefashot(souls) of men, who, seeing the poor, take away their goods and themselves wax rich, injuring them for other men's goods, who, being able to satisfy the empty, made the hungering to die, being able to clothe, stripped the naked, and who knew not their creator and bowed to the soulless and lifeless gods, who cannot see nor hear, vain gods, who also built human images and bowed down to unclean handywork.
7
For all these is prepared this place among these for eternal inheritance."
Chapter 11
1
Those men took me and led me up onto the fourth Shamayim and showed me all the successive goings and all the rays of the light of sun and moon.
2
And I measured their goings and compared their light and saw that the sun's light is greater than the moon's.
3
Its circle and the wheels on which goes always like the wind going past with very marvelous speed and Yom and Lailah (לַיְלָה, night) it has no rest.
4
Its passage and return are accompanied by four great stars and each star has under it a thousand stars to the right of the sun's wheel and by four to the left, each having under it a thousand stars.
5
Altogether 8,000 issuing with the sun continually.
6
And by Yom 15 myriads of Mal'achim attended and by Lailah a thousand and six winged ones issue with the Mal'achim before the sun's wheel into the fiery flames and a hundred Mal'achim kindle the sun and set it alight.
Chapter 12
1
And I looked and saw other flying elements of the sun whose names are phoenixes and chalkidri, marvelous and wonderful with feet and tails in the form of a lion and a crocodile's head.
2
Their appearance is empurpled like the rainbow.
3
Their size is 900 measures.
4
Their wings are like those of Mal'achim.
5
Each has 12 and they attend and accompany the sun bearing heat and dew as this ordered them from Elohim.
6
Thus the sun revolves and goes and rises under the Shamayim and its course goes under the Eretz with the light of its rays incessantly.
Chapter 13
1
Those men bore me away to the east and placed me at the sun's gates where the sun goes forth according to the regulation of the seasons and the circuit of the Chodashim (חֳדָשִׁים, months) of the whole Shanah and the number of the hours Yom and Lailah.
2
And I saw six gates open.
3
Each gate having 61 stadia and a quarter of one stadium.
4
And I measured them truly and understood their size to be so much through which the sun goes forth and goes to the west and is made even and rises throughout all the Chodashim and turns back again from the sixth gates according to the succession of the seasons.
5
Thus the period of the whole Shanah is finished after the returns of the four seasons.
Chapter 14
1
And again those men led me away to the western parts and showed me six great gates open corresponding to the eastern gates opposite to where the sun sets according to the number of the Yamim 365 and a quarter.
2
Thus again it goes down to the western gates and draws away its light the greatness of its brightness under the Eretz.
3
For since the crown of its shining is in Shamayim with Yahuah and guarded by 400 Mal'achim, while the sun goes round on wheel under the Eretz and stands seven great hours in Lailah and spends half its course under the Eretz, when it comes to the eastern approach in the eighth hour of the Lailah, it brings its lights and the crown of shining and the sun flames forth more than fire.
Chapter 15
1
Then the elements of the sun called phoenixes and chalkidri break into song.
2
Therefore every bird flutters with its wings rejoicing at the giver of light.
3
And they broke into song at the command of Yahuah.
4
The giver of light comes to give brightness to the whole world and the morning guard takes shape, which is the rays of the sun.
5
And the sun of the Eretz goes out and receives its brightness to light up the whole face of the Eretz.
6
And they showed me this calculation of the sun's going and the gates which it enters.
7
These are the great gates of the calculation of the hours of the Shanah.
8
For this reason the sun is a great creation whose circuit lasts 28 Shanim and begins again from the beginning.
Chapter 16
1
Those men showed me the other course, that of the moon.
2
12 Great gates crowned from west to east by which the moon goes in and out of the customary times.
3
It goes in at the first gate to the western places of the sun by the first gates with 31 Yamim exactly.
4
By the second gates with 31 Yamim exactly.
5
By the third with 30 Yamim exactly.
6
By the fourth with 30 Yamim exactly.
7
By the fifth with 31 Yamim exactly.
8
By the sixth with 31 Yamim exactly.
9
By the seventh with 30 Yamim exactly.
10
By the eighth with 31 Yamim perfectly.
11
By the ninth with Yamim exactly.
12
By the tenth with 30 Yamim perfectly.
13
By the eleventh with 31 Yamim exactly.
14
By the twelfth with 28 Yamim exactly.
15
And it goes through the western gates in the order and number of the eastern and accomplishes the 365 and a quarter Yamim of the solar Shanah.
16
While the lunar Shanah has 354 and there are wanting to it 12 Yamim of the solar circle which are the lunar epacts of the whole Shanah.
17
Thus too the great circle contains 532 Shanim.
18
The quarter of a Yom is omitted for three Shanim.
19
The fourth fulfills it exactly.
20
Therefore they are taken outside of Shamayim for three Shanim and are not added to the number of Yamim because they change the time of the Shanim to two new Chodashim towards completion to two others towards diminution.
21
And when the western gates are finished, it returns and goes the eastern to the lights and goes thus Yom and Lailah about the heavenly circles lower than all circles, swifter than the heavenly winds and Ruchot (רוּחוֹת, spirits; winds) and elements and Mal'achim flying.
22
Each Mal'ach (מַלְאָךְ, angel; messenger) has six wings.
23
It has a sevenfold course in 19 Shanim.
Chapter 17
1
In the midst of the Shamayim I saw armed soldiers serving Yahuah with timpana and organs with incessant voice with sweet voice with sweet and incessant voice and various singing which it is impossible to describe and which astonishes every mind.
2
So wonderful and marvelous is the singing of those Mal'achim.
3
And I was delighted listening to it.
Chapter 18
1
The men took me onto the fifth Shamayim and placed me.
2
And there I saw many and countless soldiers called Grigori of human appearance.
3
And their size was greater than that of great Nefilim (נְפִילִים, giants, the Nephilim), and their faces withered, and the silence of their mouths perpetual.
4
And there was no service on the fifth Shamayim.
5
I said to the men who were with me, "Wherefore are these very withered, and their faces melancholy, and their mouths silent, and wherefore is there no service on this Shamayim?"
6
And they said to me, "These are the Grigori, who with their prince Satanail rejected Yahuah of light.
7
And after them are those who are held in great darkness on the second Shamayim.
8
And three of them went down onto the Eretz from Yahuah's throne to the place Chermon (חֶרְמוֹן, Hermon; Slavonic Ermon), and broke through their vows on the shoulder of the hill Chermon, and saw the daughters of men, how good they are, and took to themselves wives, and befouled the Eretz with their deeds, who in all times of their age made lawlessness and mixing.
9
And Nefilim are born, and marvelous big men, great enmity.
10
And therefore Elohim judged them with great Mishpat.
11
And they weep for their brethren, and they will be punished on Yahuah's great Yom.
12
I said to the Grigori, "I saw your brethren and their works and their great torments.
13
And I prayed for them, but Yahuah has condemned them to be under Eretz until the existing Shamayim and Eretz shall end forever."
14
And I said, "Wherefore do you wait, brethren, and do not serve before Yahuah's face, and have not put your services before Yahuah's face, lest you anger your Yahuah utterly?"
15
And they listened to my admonition, and spoke to the four ranks in Shamayim.
16
And lo, as I stood with those two men, four trumpets trumpeted together with great voice.
17
And the Grigori broke into song with one voice, and their voice went up before Yahuah pitifully and affectingly.
Chapter 19
1
And thence those men took me and bore me up onto the sixth Shamayim.
2
And there I saw seven bands of Mal'achim, very bright and very glorious.
3
And their faces shining more than the sun's shining, glistening.
4
And there's no difference in their faces or behavior or manner of dress.
5
And these make the orders and learn the goings of the stars and the alteration of the moon or revolution of the sun and the good government of the world.
6
And when they see evil doing, they make Mitzvot (מִצְוֹת, commandments) and instruction and sweet and loud singing and all songs of praise.
7
These are the archangels who are above Mal'achim, measure all life in Shamayim and on Eretz, and the Mal'achim who are appointed over seasons and Shanim (years), the Mal'achim who are over rivers and sea, and who are over the fruits of the Eretz, and the Mal'achim who are over every grass, giving food to all, to every living thing.
8
And the Mal'achim who write all the Nefashot (souls) of men and all their deeds and their lives before Yahuah's face.
9
In their midst are six phoenixes and six Keruvim and six six-winged ones continually with one voice singing.
10
And it is not possible to describe their singing.
11
And they rejoice before Yahuah at his footstool.
Chapter 20
1
And those two men lifted me up thence onto the seventh Shamayim.
2
I saw there a very great light and fiery troops of great archangels in corporal forces and dominions, orders and governments, Keruvim and Serafim (שְׂרָפִים, seraphim), thrones, and many-eyed ones, nine regiments, the ionit stations of light.
3
I became afraid, began to tremble with great terror.
4
And those men took me and led me after them and said to me, "Have courage, Chanok. Do not fear."
5
And showed me Yahuah from afar sitting on his very high throne.
6
For what is there on the tenth Shamayim, since Yahuah dwells there?
7
On the tenth Shamayim is Elohim.
8
In the Hebrew tongue he is called Aravot (עֲרָבוֹת, Aravot, the highest heaven).
9
And all the heavenly troops would come and stand on the ten steps according to their rank, and would bow down to Yahuah, and would again go to their places in joy and felicity, singing songs in the boundless light with small and tender voices, gloriously serving him.
Chapter 21
1
And the Keruvim and Serafim standing about the throne, the six-winged and many-eyed ones, do not depart, standing before Yahuah's face, doing his will, and cover his whole throne, singing with gentle voice before Yahuah's face, "Kadosh (קָדוֹשׁ, holy), Kadosh, Kadosh Yahuah ruler of Sabaoth, Shamayim and Eretz are full of your glory."
2
When I saw all these things, those men said to me, "Chanok, thus far is it commanded us to journey with you."
3
And those men went away from me, and thereupon I saw them not.
4
And I remained alone at the end of the seventh Shamayim, and became afraid, and fell on my face and said to myself, "Woe is me, what has befallen me?"
5
And Yahuah sent one of his glorious ones, the archangel Gavri’el, and he said to me, "Have courage, Chanok. Do not fear.
6
Arise before Yahuah's face into eternity. Arise. Come with me."
7
And I answered him and said in myself, "My Yahuah, my Nefesh (נֶפֶשׁ, soul; living being) is departed from me from terror and trembling.
8
And I called to the men who led me up to this place.
9
On them I relied, and it is with them I go before Yahuah's face."
10
And Gavri’el caught me up as a leaf caught up by the wind, and placed me before Yahuah's face.
11
And I saw the eighth Shamayim, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Mazalot, changer of the seasons of drought and of wet and of the twelve constellations in the circle of the firmament, which are above the seventh Shamayim.
12
And I saw the ninth Shamayim, which is called in Hebrew Kokavim, where are the heavenly homes of the twelve constellations of the circle of the firmament.
Chapter 22
1
On the tenth Shamayim, which is called Aravot, I saw the appearance of Yahuah's face like iron made to glow in fire and brought out emitting sparks, and it burns.
2
Thus I saw Yahuah's face.
3
But Yahuah's face is ineffable, marvelous, and very awful, and very, very terrible.
4
And who am I to tell of Yahuah's unspeakable being and of his very wonderful face?
5
And I cannot tell the quantity of his many instructions and various voices.
6
Yahuah's throne is very great, and not made with hands, nor the quantity of those standing round him, troops of Keruvim and Serafim, nor their incessant singing, nor his immutable beauty.
7
And who shall tell of the ineffable greatness of his glory?
8
I fell prone and bowed down to Yahuah.
9
And Yahuah with his lips said to me, "Have courage, Chanok. Do not fear.
10
Arise and stand before my face into eternity."
11
And the archangel Mikha’el lifted me up and led me to before Yahuah's face.
12
And Yahuah said to his servants, tempting them, "Let Chanok stand before my face into eternity."
13
And the glorious ones bowed down to Yahuah and said, "Let Chanok go according to your Davar (דָּבָר, word)."
14
And Yahuah said to Mikha’el, "Go and take Chanok from out of his earthly garments and anoint him with my sweet ointment and put him into the garments of my glory."
15
And Mikha’el did this as Yahuah told him.
16
He anointed me and dressed me, and the appearance of that ointment is more than the great light, and his ointment is like sweet dew, and it smelled mild, shining like the sun's ray.
17
And I looked at myself, and was like one of his glorious ones.
18
And Yahuah summoned one of his archangels by name Prawe’el, whose knowledge was quicker in wisdom than the other archangels, who wrote all the deeds of Yahuah.
19
And Yahuah said to Prawe’el, "Bring out the books from my storehouses, and a read of quick writing, and give it to Chanok, and deliver to him the choice and comforting books out of your hand."

And he was telling me all the works of Shamayim, Eretz, and sea, and all the elements, their passages and goings, and the thunderings of the thunders, the sun and moon, the goings and changes of the stars, the seasons, Shanim, Yamim, and hours, the risings of the wind, the number of the Mal'achim, and the formation of their songs, and all human things, the tongue of every human song and life, the Mitzvot, instructions, and sweet-voiced singings, and all things that it is fitting to learn.
2
And Prawe’el told me, "All the things that I have told you we have written.
3
Sit and write all the Nefashot of mankind, however many of them are born, and the places prepared for them to eternity.
4
For all Nefashot are prepared to eternity before the formation of the world.
5
And all double 30 Yamim and 30 Leilot (לֵילוֹת, nights), and I wrote out all things exactly, and wrote 366 books.
Chapter 24
1
And Yahuah summoned me and said to me, "Chanok, sit down on my left with Gavri’el."
2
And I bowed to Yahuah, and Yahuah spoke to me, "Chanok, beloved, all that you see, all things that are standing finished, I tell to you even before the very beginning.
3
All that I created from non-being, and visible physical things from invisible.
4
Hear, Chanok, and take in these my Devarim (דְּבָרִים, words), for not to my Mal'achim have I told my secret, and I have not told them their rise, nor my endless realm, nor have they understood my creating, which I tell you today.
5
For before all things were visible, I alone used to go about in the invisible things, like the sun from east to west, and from west to east.
6
But even the sun has Shalom (שָׁלוֹם, peace; well-being) in itself, while I found no Shalom, because I was creating all things.
7
And I conceived the thought of placing foundations, and of creating visible creation.
Chapter 25
1
I commanded from the very lowest parts that visible things should come down from invisible.
2
And a Doyle came down very great.
3
And I beheld him, and lo, he had a belly of great light, and I said to him, "Become undone, a Doyle, and let the visible come out of you."
4
And he came undone, and a great light came out.
5
And I was in the midst of the great light.
6
And as there is born light from light, there came forth a great age, and showed all creation, which I had thought to create.
7
And I saw that it was good.
8
And I placed for myself a throne, and took my seat on it, and said to the light, "Go thence up higher, and fix yourself high above the throne, and be a foundation to the highest things."
9
And above the light there is nothing else.
10
And then I bent up, and looked up from my throne.
Chapter 26
1
And I summoned the very lowest a second time, and said, "Let Archas come forth hard."
2
And he came forth hard from the invisible.
3
And Archas came forth hard, heavy, and very red.
4
And I said, "Be opened, Archas, and let there be born from you."
5
And he came undone, and age came forth very great and very dark, bearing the creation of all lower things.
6
And I saw that it was good, and said to him, "Go thence down below, and make yourself firm, and be a foundation for the lower things." And it happened.
7
And he went down and fixed himself, and became the foundation for the lower things.
8
And below the darkness there is nothing else.
Chapter 27
1
And I commanded that there should be taken from light and darkness.
2
And I said, "Be thick." And it became thus.
3
And I spread it out with the light, and it became water.
4
And I spread it out over the darkness below the light.
5
And then I made firm the waters, that is to say, the bottomless.
6
And I made foundation of light around the water, and created seven circles from inside, and imaged the water like crystal, wet and dry, that is to say, like glass, and the circumcession of the waters and the other elements.
7
And I showed each one of them its road.
8
And the seven stars, each one of them in its Shamayim, that they go thus.
9
And I saw that it was good.
10
And I separated between light and between darkness, that is to say, in the midst of the water, hither and thither, and I said to the light that it should be the Yom, and to the darkness that it should be the Lailah.
11
And there was evening, and there was morning, the first Yom.
Chapter 28
1
And then I made firm the heavenly circle, and made that the lower water, which is under Shamayim, collect itself together into one whole, and that the chaos become dry. And it became so.
2
Out of the waves I created rock, hard and big.
3
And from the rock I piled up the dry.
4
And the dry I called Eretz.
5
And in the midst of the Eretz I called abyss, that is to say, the bottomless.
6
I collected the sea in one place, and bound it together with a yoke, and I said to the sea, "Behold, I give you your eternal limits, and you shall not break loose from your component parts."
7
Thus I made fast the firmament.
8
This Yom I called me the first created.
Chapter 29
1
And for all the heavenly troops I imaged the image and essence of fire.
2
And my eye looked at the very hard firm rock, and from the gleam of my eye the lightning received its wonderful nature, which is both fire in water and water in fire, and one does not put out the other, nor does the one dry up the other.
3
Therefore the lightning is brighter than the sun, softer than water, and firmer than hard rock.
4
And from the rock I cut off a great fire, and from the fire I created the orders of the incorporeal 10 troops of Mal'achim.
5
And their weapons are fiery, and their raiment a burning flame.
6
And I commanded that each one should stand in his order.
7
And one from out the order of Mal'achim, having turned away with the order that was under him, conceived an impossible thought to place his throne higher than the clouds above the Eretz, that he might become equal in rank to my power.
8
And I threw him out from the height with his Mal'achim.
9
And he was flying in the air continuously above the bottomless.
Chapter 30
1
On the third Yom I commanded the Eretz to make grow great and fruitful trees and hills and seed to sow.
2
And I planted Pardes, and enclosed it, and placed as armed guardians flaming Mal'achim.
3
And thus I created renewal.
4
Then came evening and came morning, the fourth Yom.
5
On the fourth Yom, I commanded that there should be great lights on the heavenly circles.
6
On the first uppermost circle, I placed the stars, Cronus, and on the second, Aphrodite, on the third, Ares, on the fifth, Zeus, on the sixth, Hermes, on the seventh, lesser the moon, and adorned with the lesser stars.
7
And on the lower, I placed the sun for the illumination of the Yom, and the moon and stars for the illumination of Lailah.
8
The sun, that it should go according to each constellation, 12, and I appointed the succession of the Chodashim and their names and lives, their thunderings and their hour markings, how they should succeed.
9
Then, evening came, and morning came, the fifth Yom.
10
On the fifth Yom, I commanded the sea that it should bring forth fishes and feathered birds of many varieties, and all animals creeping over the Eretz, going forth over the Eretz on four legs, and soaring in the air, male sex and female, and every Nefesh breathing the Ruach (רוּחַ, spirit; wind) of life.
11
And there came evening, and there came morning, the sixth Yom.
12
On the sixth Yom, I commanded my wisdom to create man from seven consistencies.
13
One, his flesh from the Eretz.
14
Two, his blood from the dew.
15
Three, his eyes from the sun.
16
Four, his bones from stone.
17
Five, his intelligence from the swiftness of the Mal'achim and from cloud.
18
Six, his veins and his hair from the grass of the Eretz.
19
Seven, his Nefesh from my breath and from the wind.
20
And I gave him seven natures. To the flesh, hearing. The eyes for sight. To the Nefesh, smell. The veins for touch. The blood for taste. The bones for endurance. To the intelligence, sweetness.
21
I conceived a cunning saying to say, "I created man from invisible and from visible nature.
22
Of both are his death and life and image.
23
He knows speech like some created thing, small in greatness, and again, great in smallness.
24
And I placed him on Eretz, a second Mal'ach, honorable, great, and glorious.
25
And I appointed him as ruler to rule on Eretz and to have my wisdom.
26
And there was none like him on Eretz of all my existing creatures.
27
And I appointed him a name from the four component parts, from east, from west, from south, from north.
28
And I appointed for him four special stars.
29
And I called his name Adam (אָדָם, Adam; man), and showed him the two ways, the light and the darkness.
30
And I told him, "This is good and that bad, that I should learn whether he has love towards me or hatred, that it be clear which in his race love me.
31
For I have seen his nature, but he has not seen his own nature.
32
Therefore, through not seeing, he will sin worse.
33
And I said, "After sin, what is there but death?"
34
And I put sleep into him, and he fell asleep.
35
And I took from him a rib and created him a wife, that death should come to him by his wife.
36
And I took his last Davar and called her name mother, that is to say, Eve.
Chapter 31
1
Adam has life on Eretz.
2
And I created a garden in Eden in the east, that he should observe the testament and keep the command.
3
I made the Shamayim open to him, that he should see the Mal'achim singing the song of victory and the gloomless light.
4
And he was continuously in Pardes.
5
And the devil understood that I wanted to create another world, because Adam was lord on Eretz to rule and control it.
6
The devil is the evil Ruach of the lower places.
7
As a fugitive, he made Satan from the Shamayim, as his name was Satanail.
8
Thus, he became different from the Mal'achim.
9
But, his nature did not change his intelligence as far as his understanding of righteous and sinful things.
10
And he understood his condemnation and the sin which he had sinned before.
11
Therefore, he conceived thought against Adam in such form.
12
He entered and seduced Eve.
13
But, he did not touch Adam.
14
But, I cursed ignorance, but what I had blessed previously, those I did not curse.
15
I cursed not man, nor the Eretz, nor other creatures, but man's evil fruit and his works.
Chapter 32
1
I said to him, "Eretz you are, and into the Eretz whence I took you, you shalt go.
2
And I will not ruin you, but send you whence I took you.
3
Then, I can again receive you at my second presence."
4
And I blessed all my creatures, visible and invisible.
5
And Adam was five and a half hours in Pardes.
6
And I blessed the seventh Yom, which is the Shabbat (שַׁבָּת, Sabbath), on which he rested from all his works.
Chapter 33
1
And I appointed the eighth Yom also, that the eighth Yom should be the first created after my work.
2
And that the first seven revolve in the form of the seventh thousand.
3
And that at the beginning of the eighth thousand, there should be a time of not counting, endless, with neither Shanim, nor Chodashim, nor Shavuot (שָׁבוּעוֹת, weeks), nor Yamim, nor hours.
4
And now, Chanok, all that I have told you, all that you have understood, all that you have seen of heavenly things, all that you have seen on Eretz, and all that I have written in books by my great wisdom, all these things I have devised and created from the uppermost foundation to the lower and to the end.
5
And there is no counselor, nor inheritor to my creations.
6
I am self-eternal, not made with hands, and without change.
7
My thought is my counselor.
8
My wisdom and my Devarim are made.
9
And my eyes observe all things, how they stand here and tremble with terror.
10
If I turn away my face, then all things will be destroyed.
11
And apply your mind, Chanok, and know him who is speaking to you, and take thence the books which you yourself have written.
12
And I give you Samuel and Raguel, who led you up, and the books, and go down to Eretz and tell your sons all that I have told you, and all that you have seen from the lower Shamayim up to my throne and all the troops.
13
For I created all forces, and there is none that resists me or that does not subject himself to me.
14
For all subject themselves to my monarchy and labor for my sole rule.
15
Give them the books of the handwriting, and they will read them and will know me for the creator of all things and will understand how there is no other Elohim but me.
16
And let them distribute the books of your handwriting, children to children, generation to generation, nation to nations.
17
And I will give you, Chanok, my intercessor, the archangel Mikha’el, for your handwritings of your fathers, Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalalel, and Jared, your father.
Chapter 34
1
They have rejected my Mitzvot and my yoke.
2
Worthless seed has come up, not fearing Elohim.
3
And they would not bow down to me, but have begun to bow down to vain gods and denied my unity, and have laden the whole Eretz with untruths, offenses, abominable lecheries, namely one with another, and all manner of other unclean wickedness, which are disgusting to relate.
4
And therefore, I will bring down a deluge upon the Eretz and will destroy all men.
5
And the whole Eretz will crumble together into great darkness.
Chapter 35
1
Behold, from their seed shall arise another generation much afterwards.
2
But of them, many will be very insatiate.
3
He who raises that generation shall reveal to them the books of your handwriting of your fathers, to whom he must point out the guardianship of the world to the faithful men and workers of my pleasure who do not acknowledge my name in vain.
4
And they shall tell another generation.
5
And those having read shall be glorified thereafter more than the first.
Chapter 36
1
Now, Chanok, I give you the term of 30 Yamim to spend in your house.
2
And tell your sons and all your household that all may hear from my face what is told them by you, that they may read and understand how there is no other Elohim but me.
3
And that they may always keep my Mitzvot and begin to read and take in the books of your handwriting.
4
And after 30 Yamim, I shall send my Mal'ach for you.
5
And he will take you from Eretz and from your sons to me.
Chapter 37
1
And Yahuah called upon one of the older Mal'achim, terrible and menacing, and placed him by me, in appearance white as snow, and his hands like ice, having the appearance of great frost.
2
And he froze my face because I could not endure the terror of Yahuah, just as it is not possible to endure a stove's fire and the sun's heat and the frost of the air.
3
And Yahuah said to me, "Chanok, if your face be not frozen here, no man will be able to behold your face."
Chapter 38
1
And Yahuah said to those men who first led me up, "Let Chanok go down on Eretz with you and await him until the determined Yom."
2
And they placed me by Lailah on my bed.
3
And Metushelach, expecting my coming, keeping watch by Yom and by Lailah at my bed, was filled with awe when he heard my coming.
4
And I told him, "Let all my household come together that I tell them everything."
Chapter 39
1
Oh, my children, my beloved ones, hear the admonition of your father as much as is according to Yahuah's will.
2
I have been let come to you today and announce to you, not from my lips, but from Yahuah's lips, all that is and was and all that is now and all that will be till Yom Din" (יוֹם הַדִּין Day of Judgment)
3
For Yahuah has let me come to you.
4
You hear, therefore, the Devarim of my lips, of a man made big for you.
5
But I am one who has seen Yahuah's face like iron made to glow from fire.
6
It sends forth sparks and burns.
7
You look now upon my eyes, the eyes of a man big with meaning for you.
8
But I have seen Yahuah's eyes shining like the sun's rays and filling the eyes of man with awe.
9
You see now, my children, the right hand of a man that helps you.
10
But I have seen Yahuah's right hand filling Shamayim as he helped me.
11
You see the compass of my work like your own.
12
But I have seen Yahuah's limitless and perfect compass, which has no end.
13
You hear the Devarim of my lips as I heard the Devarim of Yahuah like great thunder incessantly with hurling of clouds.
14
And now, my children, hear the discourses of the father of the Eretz how fearful and awful it is to come before the face of the ruler of the Eretz.
15
How much more terrible and awful it is to come before the face of the ruler of Shamayim, the controller of quick and dead and of the heavenly troops?
16
Who can endure that endless pain?
Chapter 40
1
And now, my children, I know all things.
2
For this is from Yahuah's lips.
3
And this my eyes have seen from beginning to end.
4
I know all things and have written all things into books, the Shamayim and their end and their plenitude and all the armies and their marchings.
5
I have measured and described the stars, the great countless multitude of them.
6
What man has seen their revolutions and their entrances?
7
For not even the Mal'achim see their number, while I have written all their names.
8
And I measured the sun's circle and measured its rays, counted the hours.
9
I wrote down, too, all things that go over the Eretz.
10
I have written the things that are nourished and all seed sown and unsown, which the Eretz produces, and all plants and every grass and every flower and their sweet smells and their names and the dwelling places of the clouds and their composition and their wings and how they bear rain and raindrops.
11
And I investigated all things and wrote the road of the thunder and of the lightning.
12
And they showed me the keys and their guardians, their rise, the way they go.
13
It is let out gently in measure by a chain, lest by a heavy chain and violence it hurl down the angry clouds and destroy all things on Eretz.
14
I wrote the treasure houses of the snow and the storehouses of the cold and the frosty airs.
15
And I observed their seasons' key holder.
16
He fills the clouds with them and does not exhaust the treasure houses.
17
And I wrote the resting places of the winds and observed and saw how their key holders bear weighing scales and measures.
18
First, they put them in one weighing scale, then in the other, the weights, and let them out accordingly to measure cunningly over the whole Eretz, lest by heavy breathing they make the Eretz to rock.
19
And I measured out the whole Eretz, its mountains and all hills, fields, trees, stones, rivers, all existing things I wrote down, the height from Eretz to the seventh Shamayim and downwards to the very lowest hell and the Mishpat place and the very great open and weeping hell.
20
And I saw how the prisoners are in pain expecting the limitless Mishpat.
21
And I wrote down all those being judged by the judge and all their Mishpat and sentences and all their works.
Chapter 41
1
And I saw all forefathers from all time with Adam and Eve.
2
And I sighed and broke into tears and said of the ruin of their dishonor, "Woe is me for my infirmity and for that of my forefathers."
3
And I thought in my heart and said, "Blessed is the man who has not been born or who has been born and shall not sin before Yahuah's face, that he come not into this place nor bring the yoke of this place."
Chapter 42
1
I saw the key holders and guards of the gates of hell standing like great serpents.
2
And their faces like extinguishing lamps and their eyes of fire, their sharp teeth.
3
And I saw all Yahuah's works, how they are right.
4
But the works of man are some good and others bad.
5
And in their works are known those who lie evilly.
Chapter 43
1
I, my children, measured and wrote out every work and every measure and every righteous Mishpat.
2
As one Shanah is more honorable than another, so is one man more honorable than another.
3
Some for great possessions, some, for wisdom of heart, some, for particular intellect, some, for cunning, one, for silence of lip, another, for cleanliness, one, for strength, another, for comeliness, one, for youth, another, for sharp wit.
4
One, for shape of body, another, for sensibility.
5
Let it be heard everywhere, but there is none better than he who fears Elohim.
6
He shall be more glorious in time to come.
Chapter 44
1
Yahuah, with his hands, having created man in the likeness of his own face, Yahuah made him small and great.
2
Whoever reviles the ruler's face and abhors Yahuah's face has despised Yahuah's face.
3
And he who vents anger on any man without injury, Yahuah's great anger will cut him down.
4
He who spits on the face of man reproachfully will be cut down at Yahuah's great Mishpat.
5
Blessed is the man who does not direct his heart with malice against any man and helps the injured and condemned and raises the broken down and shall do charity to the needy, because on the Yom of the great Mishpat, every weight, every measure, and every make weight will be as in the market.
6
That is to say, they are hung on scales and stand in the market and everyone shall learn his own measure and according to his measure shall take his reward.
Chapter 45
1
Whoever hastens to make offerings before Yahuah's face, Yahuah, for his part, will hasten that offering by granting of his work.
2
But whoever increases his lamp before Yahuah's face and make not true Mishpat, Yahuah will not increase his treasure in the realm of the highest.
3
When Yahuah demands bread or candles or the flesh of beasts or any other sacrifice, then that is nothing, but Elohim demands pure hearts and with all that, only tests the heart of man.
Chapter 46
1
Hear, my people, and take in the Devarim of my lips.
2
If anyone bring any gifts to an earthly ruler and have disloyal thoughts in his heart and the ruler know this, will he not be angry with him and not refuse his gifts and not give him over to Mishpat?
3
Or if one man make himself appear good to another by deceit of tongue, but have evil in his heart, then will not the other understand the treachery of his heart and himself be condemned, since his untruth was plain to all?
4
And when Yahuah shall send a great light, then there will be Mishpat for the just and the unjust.
5
And there no one shall escape notice.
Chapter 47
1
And now, my children, lay thought on your hearts.
2
Mark well the Devarim of your father, which are all come to you from Yahuah's lips.
3
Take these books of your father's handwriting and read them, for the books are many and in them you will learn all Yahuah's works, all that has been from the beginning of creation and will be till the end of time.
4
And if you will observe my handwriting, you will not sin against Yahuah, because there is no other except Yahuah, neither in Shamayim nor in Eretz nor in the very lowest places nor in the one foundation.
5
Yahuah has placed the foundations in the unknown and has spread forth Shamayim, visible and invisible.
6
He fixed the Eretz on the waters and created countless creatures.
7
And who has counted the water and the foundation of the unfixed or the dust of the Eretz or the sand of the sea or the drops of the rain or the morning dew or the winds' breathings?
8
Who has filled Eretz and sea and the indissoluble winter?
9
I cut the stars out of fire and decorated Shamayim and put it in their midst.
Chapter 48
1
Let the sun go along the seven heavenly circles, which are the appointment of 182 thrones.
2
Let it go down on a short Yom and again, 182 that it go down on a big Yom.
3
And he has two thrones on which he rests, revolving hither and thither above the thrones of the Chodashim.
4
From the 17th Yom of the Chodesh Sivan (סִיוָן, Sivan, the third month), it goes down to the Chodesh Tevet (טֵבֵת, Tevet; Slavonic Thevan).
5
From the 17th of Tevet, it goes up.
6
And thus it goes close to the Eretz, then the Eretz is glad and makes grow its fruits.
7
When it goes away, then the Eretz is sad and trees and all fruits have no florescence.
8
All this he measured with good measurement of hours and fixed a measure by his wisdom of the visible and the invisible.
9
From the invisible, he made all things visible, himself being invisible.
10
Thus I make known to you, my children, and distribute the books to your children into all your generations and among the nations who shall have the sense to fear Elohim.
11
Let them receive them and may they come to love them more than any food or earthly sweets and read them and apply themselves to them.
12
And those who understand not Yahuah, who fear not Elohim, who accept not, but reject, who do not receive the books, a terrible Mishpat awaits them.
13
Blessed is the man who shall bear their yoke and shall drag them along, for he shall be released on the Yom of the great Mishpat.
Chapter 49
1
I swear to you, my children, but I swear not by any oath, neither by Shamayim nor by Eretz nor by any other creature which Elohim created.
2
Yahuah said, "There is no oath in me nor injustice, but truth.
3
If there is no truth in men, let them swear by the Devarim, 'Yea, yea,' or else, 'Nay, nay.'" But I swear to you, "Yea, yea," that there has been no man in his mother's womb, but that already before, even to each one, there is a place prepared for the repose of that Nefesh and a measure fixed how much it is intended that a man be tried in this world.
4
Yea, children, deceive not yourselves, for there has been previously prepared a place for every Nefesh of man.
Chapter 50
1
I have put every man's work in writing and none born on Eretz can remain hidden nor his works remain concealed. I see all things.
2
Now, therefore, my children, in patience and meekness spend the number of your Yamim that you inherit endless life.
3
Endure for the sake of Yahuah every wound, every injury, every evil Davar and attack.
4
If ill requitals befall you, return them not either to neighbor or enemy, because Yahuah will return them for you and be your avenger on the Yom of great Mishpat, that there be no avenging here among men.
5
Whoever of you spends gold or silver for his brother's sake, he will receive ample treasure in the world to come.
6
Injure not widows nor orphans nor strangers, lest Elohim's wrath come upon you.
Chapter 51
1
Stretch out your hands to the poor according to your strength.
2
Hide not your silver in the Eretz.
3
Help the faithful man in affliction and affliction will not find you in the time of your trouble.
4
And every grievous and cruel yoke that come upon you, bear all for the sake of Yahuah and thus you will find your reward in the Yom of Mishpat.
5
It is good to go morning, midday, and evening into Yahuah's dwelling for the glory of your creator, because every breathing thing glorifies him and every creature, visible and invisible, returns him praise.
Chapter 52
1
Blessed is the man who opens his lips in praise of Elohim of Sabaoth and praises Yahuah with his heart.
2
Cursed is every man who opens his lips for the bringing into contempt and calumny of his neighbor because he brings Elohim into contempt.
3
Blessed is he who opens his lips blessing and praising Elohim.
4
Cursed is he before Yahuah all the Yamim of his life who opens his lips to curse and abuse.
5
Blessed is he who blesses all Yahuah's works.
6
Cursed is he who brings Yahuah's creation into contempt.
7
Blessed is he who looks down and raises the fallen.
8
Cursed is he who looks to and is eager for the destruction of what is not his.
9
Blessed is he who keeps the foundations of his fathers made firm from the beginning.
10
Cursed is he who perverts the decrees of his forefathers.
11
Blessed is he who imparts Shalom and love.
12
Cursed is he who disturbs those that love their neighbors.
13
Blessed is he who speaks with humble tongue and heart to all.
14
Cursed is he who speaks Shalom with his tongue while in his heart there is no Shalom but a sword.
15
For all these things will be laid bare in the weighing scales and in the books on the Yom of the great Mishpat.
Chapter 53
1
And now my children, do not say our father is standing before Elohim and is praying for our sins.
2
For there is no helper of any man who has sinned.
3
You see how I wrote all works of every man before his creation, all that is done amongst all men for all time and none can tell or relate my handwriting.
4
Because Yahuah sees all imaginings of man.
5
How they are vain, where they lie in the treasure houses of the heart.
6
And now my children, mark well all the Devarim of your father that I tell you.
7
Lest you regret saying, "Why did not our father tell us?"
Chapter 54
1
At that time, not understanding this, let these books which I have given you be for an inheritance of your Shalom.
2
Hand them to all who want them and instruct them that they may see Yahuah's very great and marvelous works.
Chapter 55
1
My children, behold the Yom of my term and time have approached.
2
For the Mal'achim who shall go with me are standing before me and urge me to my departure from you.
3
They are standing here on Eretz awaiting what has been told them.
4
For tomorrow I shall go up onto Shamayim to the uppermost Yerushalayim to my eternal inheritance.
5
Therefore, I bid you do before Yahuah's face all his good pleasure.
Chapter 56
1
Metushelach having answered his father Chanok said, "What is agreeable to your eyes, father, that I may make before your face that you may bless our dwellings and your sons and that your people may be made glorious through you and then that you may depart thus as Yahuah said."
2
Chanok answered to his son Metushelach and said, "Here, child, from the time when Yahuah anointed me with the ointment of his glory, there has been no food in me and my Nefesh remembers not earthly enjoyment neither do I want anything earthly.
Chapter 57
1
My child Metushelach, summon all your brethren and all your household and the elders of the people that I may talk to them and depart as is planned for me."
2
And Metushelach made haste and summoned his brethren, Regim, Riman, Acham, Shemian, Gaydad and all the elders of the people before the face of his father Chanok.
3
And he blessed them and said to them,
Chapter 58
1
"Listen to me, my children, today.
2
In those Yamim when Yahuah came down onto Eretz for Adam's sake and visited all his creatures which he created himself, after all these he created Adam.
3
And Yahuah called all the beasts of the Eretz, all the reptiles and all the birds that soar in the air and brought them all before the face of our father Adam.
4
And Adam gave names to all things living on Eretz.
5
And Yahuah appointed him ruler over all and subjected to him all things under his hands and made them dumb and made them dull that they may be commanded of man and be in subjection and obedience to him.
6
Thus also Yahuah created every man lord over all his possessions.
7
Yahuah will not judge a single Nefesh of beast for man's sake but adjudges the Nefashot of men to their beasts in this world for men have a special place.
8
And every Nefesh of man is according to number.
9
Similarly, beasts will not perish nor all Nefashot of beasts which Yahuah created till the great Mishpat and they will accuse man if he feed them ill.
Chapter 59
1
Whoever defiles the Nefesh of beasts defiles his own Nefesh.
2
For man brings clean animals to make sacrifice for sin that he may have cure of his Nefesh.
3
And if they bring for sacrifice clean animals and birds, man has cure. He cures his Nefesh.
4
All is given you for food, bind it by the four feet, that is to make good the cure. He cures the Nefesh.
5
But whoever kills beast without wounds kills his own Nefashot and defiles his own flesh.
6
And he who does any beast any injury whatsoever in secret, it is an evil practice.
7
And he defiles his own Nefesh.
Chapter 60
1
He who works the killing of a man's Nefesh kills his own Nefesh and kills his own body.
2
And there is no cure for him for all time.
3
He who puts a man in any snare shall stick in it himself and there is no cure for him for all time.
4
He who puts a man in any vessel, his retribution will not be wanting at the great Mishpat for all time.
5
He who works crookedly or speaks evil against any Nefesh will not make justice for himself for all time.
Chapter 61
1
And now my children, keep your hearts from every injustice which Yahuah hates.
2
Just as a man asks something for his own Nefesh from Elohim, so let him do to every living Nefesh because I know all things, how in the great time to come there is much inheritance prepared for men, good for the good and bad for the bad without number many.
3
Blessed are those who enter the good houses.
4
For in the bad houses there is no Shalom nor return from them.
5
Hear, my children, small and great.
6
When man puts a good thought in his heart, brings gifts from his labors before Yahuah's face and his hands made them not, then Yahuah will turn away his face from the labor of his hand and that man cannot find the labor of his hands.
7
And if his hands made it but his heart murmur and his heart cease not making murmur incessantly, he has not any advantage.
Chapter 62
1
Blessed is the man who in his patience brings his gifts with faith before Yahuah's face because he will find forgiveness of sins.
2
But if he take back his Devarim before the time, there is no repentance for him.
3
And if the time pass and he do not of his own will what is promised, there is no repentance after death because every work which man does before the time is all deceit before men and sin before Elohim.
Chapter 63
1
When man clothes the naked and fills the hungry, he will find reward from Elohim.
2
But if his heart murmur, he commits a double evil, ruin of himself and of that which he gives.
3
And for him, there'll be no finding of reward on account of that.
4
And if his own heart is filled with his food and his own flesh clothed with his own clothing, he commits contempt and will forfeit all his endurance of poverty and will not find reward of his good deeds.
5
Every proud and magniloquent man is hateful to Yahuah and every false speech clothed in untruth.
6
It will be cut with the blade of the sword of death and thrown into the fire and shall burn for all time.
Chapter 64
1
When Chanok had spoken these Devarim to his sons, all people far and near heard how Yahuah was calling Chanok.
2
They took counsel together, "Let us go and kiss Chanok."
3
And 2,000 men came together and came to the place Achesusan where Chanok was and his sons.
4
And the elders of the people, the whole assembly, came and bowed down and began to kiss Chanok and said to him, "Our father Chanok, may you be blessed of Yahuah, the eternal ruler.
5
And now, bless your sons and all the people that we may be glorified today before your face.
6
For you shall be glorified before Yahuah's face for all time since Yahuah chose you rather than all men on Eretz and designated you writer of all his creation, visible and invisible, and redeemed the sins of man and helper of your household."
Chapter 65
1
And Chanok answered all his people saying, "Hear, my children, before all creatures were created, Yahuah created the visible and invisible things.
2
And as much time as there was and went past, understand that after all that he created man in the likeness of his own form and put into him eyes to see and ears to hear and heart to reflect and intellect wherewith to deliberate.
3
And Yahuah saw all man's works and created all his creatures and divided time from time.
4
He fixed the Shanim and from the Shanim he appointed the Chodashim and from the Chodashim he appointed the Yamim.
5
And of Yamim he appointed seven and in those he appointed the hours, measured them out exactly, that man might reflect on time and count Shanim, Chodashim, and hours, their alternation, beginning and end, and that he might count his own life from the beginning until death and reflect on his sin and write his work, bad and good.
6
Because no work is hidden before Yahuah, that every man might know his works and never transgress all his Mitzvot and keep my handwriting from generation to generation.
7
When all creation, visible and invisible, as Yahuah created it shall end, then every man goes to the great Mishpat and then all time shall perish and the Shanim.
8
And thenceforward there will be neither Chodashim nor Yamim nor hours.
9
They will be adhered together and will not be counted.
10
There will be one Olam (עוֹלָם, age, eternity; the eon) and all the Tzaddikim who shall escape Yahuah's great Mishpat shall be collected in the great Olam.
11
For the Tzaddikim, the great Olam will begin. They will live eternally.
12
And then, too, there will be amongst them neither labor nor sickness nor humiliation nor anxiety nor need nor brutality nor Lailah nor darkness but great light.
13
And they shall have a great indestructible wall and a Pardes bright and incorruptible.
14
For all corruptible things shall pass away and there will be eternal life.
Chapter 66
1
And now, my children, keep your Nefashot from all injustice such as Yahuah hates.
2
Walk before his face with terror and trembling and serve him alone.
3
Bow down to the true Elohim, not to dumb idols, but bow down to his similitude and bring all just offerings before Yahuah's face.
4
Yahuah hates what is unjust.
5
For Yahuah sees all things.
6
When man takes thought in his heart, then he counsels the intellects.
7
And every thought is always before Yahuah who made firm the Eretz and put all creatures on it.
8
If you look to Shamayim, Yahuah is there.
9
If you think thought of the seas deep and all the under Eretz, Yahuah is there.
10
For Yahuah created all things.
11
Bow not down to things made by man leaving Yahuah of all creation because no work can remain hidden before Yahuah's face.
12
Walk, my children, in long-suffering, in meekness, honesty, in provocation, in grief, in faith and in truth, in reliance on promises, in illness, in abuse, in wounds, in temptation, in nakedness, in privation, loving one another till you go out from this age of ills that you become inheritors of endless time.
13
Blessed are the just who shall escape the great Mishpat.
14
For they shall shine forth more than the sun sevenfold.
15
For in this world, the seventh part is taken off from all light, darkness, food, enjoyment, sorrow, Pardes, torture, fire, frost, and other things.
16
He put all down in writing that you might read and understand.
Chapter 67
1
When Chanok had talked to the people, Yahuah sent out darkness onto the Eretz and there was darkness and it covered those men standing with Chanok.
2
And they took Chanok up onto the highest Shamayim where Yahuah is.
3
And he received him and placed him before his face.
4
And the darkness went off from the Eretz and light came again.
5
And the people saw and understood not how Chanok had been taken and glorified Elohim and found a roll in which it was traced, the invisible Elohim.
6
And all went to their dwelling places.
Chapter 68
1
Chanok was born on the sixth Yom of the Chodesh Sivan and lived 365 Shanim.
2
He was taken up to Shamayim on the first Yom of the Chodesh Sivan and remained in Shamayim 60 Yamim.
3
He wrote all these signs of all creation which Yahuah created and wrote 366 books and handed them over to his sons and remained on Eretz 30 Yamim and was again taken up to Shamayim on the sixth Yom of the Chodesh Sivan on the very Yom and hour when he was born.
4
And they took sacrificial oxen and summoned all people and sacrificed the sacrifice before Yahuah's face.
5
As every man's nature in this life is dark, so are also his conception, birth, and departure from this life.
6
All people, the elders of the people, and the whole assembly came to the feast and brought gifts to the sons of Chanok.
7
At what hour he was conceived, at that hour he was born, and at that hour, too, he died.
8
And they made a great feast rejoicing and making merry 3 Yamim (days) praising Elohim who had given them such a sign through Chanok who had found favor with him and that they should hand it on to their sons from generation to generation from age to age.
9
Metushelach and his brethren, all the sons of Chanok, made haste and erected a Mizbe'ach (מִזְבֵּחַ, altar) at that place called Achesusan whence and where Chanok had been taken up to Shamayim. Amen (אָמֵן, amen; so be it).
