The Book of Enoch
Notes
(8) THE ANGELS WHO KEEP WATCH (pages 35-37)
Here we are introduced to some of the Watchers and then Enoch has a
conversation with them. At first they discuss the punishment of the runaways then the
afterlife in general.
The Watchers may have provided some type of visual display since Enoch
describes what he sees. The description at 22.2 is strange but compelling.
The story of Cain and Abel is mentioned at 22.7 and in the next section the story
of Adam and Eve is mentioned, at 32.6. So, these stories must have existed, in some
form, even in Enoch's time.
