[¶0] 1 Enoch was born on the sixth day of the month Tsivan, he lived 365 years. He was taken up into heaven on the first day of the month Tsivan, and he was in heaven sixty days.

[¶1] 2 He wrote down the descriptions of all the creation which the Lord had made, and he wrote 366 books, and gave them to his sons.

[¶2] 3 And he was on earth thirty days‘, and thus he was taken to heaven in the same month Tsivan on the same day the sixth day; the day on which he was born, and the same hour.

[¶3] 4 As each man has but a dark existence in this life, so also is his beginning and birth, and departure from this life, In what hour he began; in that he was born, and in that he departs.

[¶4] 5 And Methusalem hasted, and all his brethren, the sons of Enoch, and built an altar in the place called Achuzan, whence and when Enoch‘was taken up to heaven.

[¶5] 6 And they took cattle, and invited all the people and saerifieed victims before the face of the Lord.

[¶6] 7 All the people came and the elders of the people; all the host of them to the festivity, and brought their gifts to the sons of Enoch, and made a great festivity, rejoicing and being merry for three days; praising God who had given such a sign by means of Enoch, who had found favour with Him. And that they should hand it down to their sof’s sons, from generation to generation, for ever. Amen,
