Chapter 55

Translated by W. R. Morfill; edited by R. H. Charles

Here Enoch makes a Declaration to his Sons: and speaks to them with Tears: ‘My children, my Hour draws near, that I should go to Heaven, Lo! Angels stand before me!”

1 My children, the appointed day and time have drawn near and constrain me to depart, The angels will come and stand before me on the earth awaiting what has been ordered them.

2 In the morning I shall go to the highest ' heavens. to my eternal habitation.

3 Therefore I tell you to do all that is good before the face of the Lord, Methosalem asks a Blessing of his Father; that he may give him Bread to eat.
