Enoch

[Glowing]

Hi Everyone; while things on here are a little combuberated, I thought i'd share something that i've just read. The Book of Enoch, for those who prefer to study, rather than just read and beleive; this is an extremely enlighting and affirming book to the whole Bible. Just be sure to rightly divide the different Watchmen.

I remember someone on here had suggested the same thing, and to my own shame, hadn't taken the advice until now. Whoever that was, Thank-You VERY Much!

Love and Peace to ALL in Christ! Forever
( also check'n to see how things are working)

have you gotten to the 93rd or4th chapeter when enoch tells his dream?

Hi Noah'sGlad; oh sorry Dad; You have me a little confused with your question. I didn't take an investigative look into who's version i had read, and the one i read had only 60 chapters to it. Whether it's wrong or right, if you know of a more complete version, please let me know, thanks in advance.

From the 60 chapters i've read though, you could re-tittle it; Revelations Simplified.

Love and Peace to ALL in CHRIST!!!

there are 2 different books that have been found,the translation of the ethiopian texts have much more in them,but I dont kno how accurate thy were translated,the name of the book that has the ethiopian translation in it is a book called "The origins of good and evil"I think. I used to have the book but lent it to my sis in law and she never braught it back. but i think thats the title.
another book you may like is "Number in Scripture" by E.W.Bulinger. you can find it here,Philologos Religious Online Books | Download
if the link dont work just coppy and paste it in the browser. they're free ebooks and there are some awesome books there.

Some time ago I became aware of verse numbering errors in the various online copies of R.H. Charles' translation of The Book of Enoch.

In 2006, I perpetuated the same mistake, basing my own webpage on the text found at the Wesleyan University site:
http://wesley.nnu.edu/biblical_studies/noncanon/ot/pseudo/enoch.htm

So, initially my website also had many places where verses were divided incorrectly and sometimes verse numbers were missing completly and/or verses had been combined and run together.

Just look at the following example. Notice where the division for Enoch 1:2 and 1:3 comes (taken from the CCEL.org site):

1The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be 2living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. And he took up his parable and said -Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is 3for to come.

That's pretty odd, don't you think?

Here's what it should look like (which makes it a lot nicer for quoting purposes):

1The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed. 2And he took up his parable and said- Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come.

The following sites all have the same sort of verse numbering and division problems:

http://www.altheim.com/lit/enoch.html
http://www.ccel.org/c/charles/otpseudepig/enoch/ENOCH_1.HTM
http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/ethiopian/enoch/1watchers/watchers.htm
http://reluctant-messenger.com/book_of_enoch.htm
http://wesley.nnu.edu/biblical_studies/noncanon/ot/pseudo/enoch.htm

Looks like everybody copied theirs from the same common screwy source!!!

Since then, I have received a corrected digital copy.

I also have an old hard copy edition of The Book of Enoch, published by S.P.C.K., with which to compare my corrected digital copy; they are the same.

I have converted the entire book into fully linkable HTML; all chapters and verses are linkable. In this version the verse breaks and numbers are correct

I also made sure it has a proper paragraph format for easier reading, with the poetry sections of the book showing in versified form.

You may feel free to link to any chapter and verse within the text.

To link to Chapters use this convention:

The # (pound) sign directs the URL to internal anchors on the page for either chapters or chapters and verses.

Enjoy!

P.S. Most of the books on my website have this added functionality in them.

Why not get together and share your insights and knowledge (not trying to hi-jack or cross-thread, just consolidate for simplicity and greater edification)

I wondered when you would come crawling out.

There are 66 books in the Bible, Enoch is not, nor ever was one of them.
