1 In the tenth heaven Aravoth, I saw the vision of the face of the Lord, like iron burnt in the fire, and brought forth and emitting sparks, and it burns. So I saw the face of the Lord; but the face of the Lord cannot betold. It is wonderful and awful, and very terrible.
2 And who am I that I should tell of the unspeakable being of God, and His wonderful face? And it is not for me to tell of His wonderful knowledge and various utterances; and the very great throne of the Lord not made with hands. And how many stand around Him, hosts of cherubim and seraphim.
3 And moreover their never-ceasing songs, and their unchanging beauty, and the unspeakable greatness of His beauty, who can tell ? I also saw the Lord face to face. And His face was very glorious, marvellous and terrible, threatening, andstrange.. WhoamTto tell of the incomprehensible existence of the Lord, and His face wonderful, and not to be spoken of: and the choir with much instruction, and loud sound, and the throne of the Lord very great, and not made with hands: and the choir standing around Him of the hosts of cherubim and seraphim ! book is in the seventh heaven, the signs and stars might be regarded as in the eighth or ninth.
6 And Michael, the chief captain, lifted me up, and brought me before the face of the Lord, and the Lord said to His servants making trial of them: ‘Let Enoch come to stand before My face for ever!’
7 And the glorious ones made obeisance to the Lord, and said: ‘Let Enoch proceed according to Thy word?!’
8 And the Lord said to Michael: ‘Go and take from Enoch his earthly robe, and anoint him with My holy
11 and clothe him with the raiment of My glory.’ g. And so Michael did as the Lord spake unto him. He anointed me and clothed me, and the appearance of that oil was more than a great light, and its anointing was like exeellent dew; and its fragrance like myrrh, shining like a ray of the sun.. And I gazed upon myself, and I was like one of His glorious ones, And there was no difference, and fear and trembling departed from me‘.. And the Lord called one of His archangels, by name Vretil, who was more wise than the other archangels, and wrote down all the doings of the Lord.
12 And the Lord said to Vretil, ‘Bring forth the books from my store-places, and give a reed to Enoch’, and interpret to him the books”. And Vretil made haste and brought me the books, fragrant with myrrh, and gave me a reed from his hand.
