2 Enoch (Morfill/Charles 1896)

2 Enoch, also called the Book of the Secrets of Enoch or Slavonic Enoch, survives only in Old Slavonic manuscripts. It describes Enoch’s ascent through ten heavens, his encounter with God, the secrets of creation (including a unique eight-day creation account), and his ethical teachings to his sons before his final translation.
