The Book of Enoch


                  the years into 364 days, with the heads over thousands, who separate the

                  days.  And for the four days, that are added to them, there are the leaders

                  who separate the four parts of the year.

                  82.12 And as for these heads over thousands, one is added between the


                  leader and the led, but their leaders make the separation.
                  82.13 And these are the names of the leaders who separate the four


                  appointed parts of the year:  Melkiel, Helemmelek, Meleyal, and Narel.
                  82.14 And the names of those whom they lead:  Adnarel, Iyasusael,


                  Iylumiel; these three follow behind the leaders of the orders.  And all others
                  follow behind the three leaders of the orders, who follow behind those


                  leaders of positions, who separate the four parts of the year.

                  82.15 In the beginning of the year, Melkiel rises first and rules, who is

                  called the southern Sun - and all the days of his period, during which he

                  rules, are ninety-one.

                  82.16 And these are the signs of the days that are to be seen on the earth, in

                  the days of his period of rule; sweat, and heat, and calm.  And all the trees

                  bear fruit, and leaves appear on all the trees, and the wheat harvest, and

                  rose flowers.  And all the flowers bloom in the field but the trees of winter

                  are withered.

                  82.17 And these are the names of the leaders who are under them:  Berkeel,

                  Zelebsael, and another one who is added, a head over a thousand, named

                  Heloyaseph.  And the days of the period of rule, of this one, are complete.

                  82.18 The second leader, after him, is Helemmelec, whom they call the

                  Shining Sun; and all the days of his light are ninety-one.

                  82.19 And these are the signs of the days on earth: heat, and drought.  And

                  the trees bring their fruit to ripeness and maturity and make their fruit dry.

                  And the sheep mate and become pregnant.  And men gather all the fruits of

                  the earth, and everything that is in the fields, and the vats of wine.  And

                  these things occur in the days of his period of rule.
