About This Text

The Book of Enoch is an ancient Hebrew apocalyptic religious text, ascribed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It is not part of the biblical canon but is considered scripture by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Eritrean Orthodox Church.

The Book of Enoch (1 Enoch) is an ancient Jewish religious work, traditionally ascribed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It is not part of the biblical canon as used by most Christian denominations or Judaism, but it is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. **The Watchers (Chapters 1-36)** - Describes the fall of the angels (Watchers) who mated with human women and taught forbidden knowledge to humanity. **The Parables of Enoch (Chapters 37-71)** - Contains messianic prophecies and visions of the Son of Man, the Elect One, and the coming judgment. **The Astronomical Book (Chapters 72-82)** - Describes the movements of heavenly bodies and the calendar. **The Dream Visions (Chapters 83-90)** - Presents allegorical visions of world history from creation to the final judgment. **The Epistle of Enoch (Chapters 91-108)** - Contains ethical exhortations and prophecies of the future. The Book of Enoch significantly influenced early Christianity and is quoted in the New Testament book of Jude. It provides important context for understanding apocalyptic literature and messianic expectations in Second Temple Judaism. This translation by R.H. Charles (1917) remains one of the most respected scholarly translations of this influential ancient text.
