In the year five-hundred, and in the seventh month, on the fourteenth day
of the month, of the life of Enoch. In that Parable I saw that the heaven of heavens shook
tremendously, and the host of the Most High, and the angels, a thousand times thousand,
and ten thousand times ten thousand, were disturbed exceedingly. 2. And then I saw the
Head of days sitting upon the throne of his glory, and the angels and the just ones stood
around him. 3. And a great trembling took hold of me, and fear seized me; my loins were
bent and were loosened, and my whole being melted together, and I fell down on my face.
4. And the holy Michael sent another holy angel, one of the holy angels, and he raised me
up. And as he raised me my spirit returned, for I had not been able to endure the sight of this
host and of that trembling and shaking of heaven. 5. And the holy Michael said to me: “On
account of what vision is such trembling? Up to to-day was the day of his mercy, and he was
merciful and slow to anger over those who dwell on the earth. 6. But when the day and the
power and the punishments and judgments come, which the Lord of the spirits has prepared
for those who bow to the judgment of justice, and for those who deny the judgment of justice,
and for those who take his name in vain—that day has been prepared a covenant for the
chosen, and a test for the sinners. 7. And on that day two monsters will be distributed, a
female monster, named Leviathan, to dwell in the depth of the sea, over the fountains of the
waters. 8. But the masculine is named Behemoth, who occupies, with his breast, a void
desert called Dêndâin, in the east of the garden where the chosen and holy will dwell, where
my grandfather was taken up, the seventh from Adam, the first of men whom the Lord of the
spirits made.
