### The Instruction: how Enoch taught his Sons

[¶1] 1 ‘Hear me, my children, for I do not know whither Tam going, or what awaits me.

[¶2] 2 Now, my children, I say unto you: turn not aside from God: walk before the face of the Lord and keep his judgements and do not worship vain gods !, who did not make heaven and earth?!, for these oD 3 3 will perish, and also those who worship them.

[¶3] 3 But may God make confident your hearts in the fear of Him’.

[¶4] 4 And now, my children, let no one seek me till the Lord brings me back to you.’
