### Of the Exhortation of Enoch to his Sons

[¶1] 1 ‘Listen, my children: before that anything existed and all creatures were made, the Lord made ™ all things both visible and invisible.

[¶2] 2 When the times of these things had come and were passed, understand how after all these things He made man in His own image after His likeness, and placed in him eyes to see; and ears to hear; and a heart to understand, and reason to take counsel.

[¶3] 3 And the Lord contemplated the world for the sake of man, and made all the creation for his sake, and divided it into times. And from the times He made years, and from the years He made months, and from the months He made days, and of the days He made seven.

[¶10] 10 And there shall be to them a great wall that cannot be broken down; and bright and incorruptible 2 paradise shall be. their protection, and their eternal habitation. For all corruptible things shall vanish, and there shall be eternal life, [Enoch instructs his Sons, and all the Elders of the People: how with Fear and Trembling they ought to walk before the Lord, and serve Him alone, and not to worship Idols; for God made Heaven and Earth and every Creature aud its
