One Year to Record | Enoch IV Chapter 4

I have given wisdom to thee and to thy children and thy children that shall be to thee, that they may give it to their children for generations, this wisdom that passeth their thought.

Book IV

Chapter 4

1 And now, my son Methuselah, all these things I am recounting to thee and

writing down for thee! and I have revealed to thee everything, and given thee

books concerning all these: so preserve, my son Methuselah, the books from thy

fathers hand, and see that thou deliver them to the generations of the world.

2 I have given wisdom to thee and to thy children and thy children that shall be

to thee, that they may give it to their children for generations, this wisdom that

passeth their thought.

3 And those who understand it shall not sleep but shall listen with the ear that

they may learn this wisdom and it shall please those that eat thereof better than

good food.

4 Blessed are all the righteous, blessed are all those who walk in the way of

righteousness and sin not as the sinners.

5 In the reckoning of all their days in which the sun traverses the heaven,

entering into and departing from the portals for thirty days with the heads of

thousands of the order of the stars, together with the four which are intercalated

which divide the four portions of the year, which lead them and enter with them

four days.

6 Owing to them men shall be at fault and not reckon them in the whole

reckoning of the year: yea, men shall be at fault, and not recognize them

accurately.

7 For they belong to the reckoning of the year and are truly recorded for ever,

one in the first portal and one in the third, and one in the fourth and one in the

sixth, and the year is completed in three hundred and sixty−four days.

8 And the account thereof is accurate and the recorded reckoning thereof exact;

for the luminaries, and months and festivals, and years and days, has Uriel

shown and revealed to me, to whom the Lord of the whole creation of the world

hath subjected the host of heaven.

9 And he has power over night and day in the heaven to cause the light to give

light to men, sun, moon, and stars, and all the powers of the heaven which

revolve in their circular chariots.

10 And these are the orders of the stars, which set in their places, and in their

seasons and festivals and months.

11 And these are the names of those who lead them, who watch that they enter at

their times, in their orders, in their seasons, in their months, in their periods of

dominion, and in their positions.

12 Their four leaders who divide the four parts of the year enter first; and after

them the twelve leaders of the orders who divide the months; and for the three

hundred and sixty there are heads over thousands who divide the days; and for

the four intercalary days there are the leaders which sunder the four parts of the

year.

13 And these heads over thousands are intercalated between leader and leader,

each behind a station, but their leaders make the division.

14 And these are the names of the leaders who divide the four parts of the year

which are ordained: Milkiel, Helemmelek, and Melejal, and Narel.

15 And the names of those who lead them: Adnarel, and Ijasusael, and Elomeel -

these three follow the leaders of the orders, and there is one that follows the

three leaders of the orders which follow those leaders of stations that divide the

four parts of the year.

16 In the beginning of the year Melkejal rises first and rules, who is named

Tamaini and sun, and all the days of his dominion whilst he bears rule are ninety

−one days.

17 And these are the signs of the days which are to be seen on earth in the days

of his dominion: sweat, and heat, and calms; and all the trees bear fruit, and

leaves are produced on all the trees, and the harvest of wheat, and the rose

−flowers, and all the flowers which come forth in the field, but the trees of the

winter season become withered.

18 And these are the names of the leaders which are under them: Berkael,

Zelebsel, and another who is added a head of a thousand, called Hilujaseph: and

the days of the dominion of this are at an end.

19 The next leader after him is Helemmelek, whom one names the shining sun,

and all the days of his light are ninety−one days. And these are the signs of days

on the earth: glowing heat and dryness, and the trees ripen their fruits and

produce all their fruits ripe and ready, and the sheep pair and become pregnant,

and all the fruits of the earth are gathered in, and everything that is in the fields,

and the winepress: these things take place in the days of his dominion.

20 These are the names, and the orders, and the leaders of those heads of

thousands: Gidaljal, Keel, and Heel, and the name of the head of a thousand

which is added to them, Asfael: and the days of his dominion are at an end.
