The Book of Enoch

whiter than snow, and redder than the flower of the rose, and the hair of his

head is whiter than white wool. And his eyes are like the rays of the Sun;

and he opened his eyes and made the whole house bright.

106.11 And he was taken from the hand of the midwife, and he opened his

mouth, and blessed the Lord of Heaven.
106.12 And his father Lamech was afraid and fled to me. And he does not

believe he is sprung from him but thinks him to be from the Angels of
Heaven. And behold, I have come to you, so that you may make known to

me the truth."
106.13 And I, Enoch, answered and said to him: "The Lord will do new

things on Earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and made known

to you. For in the generation of my father, Jared, some from the height of

Heaven transgressed the word of the Lord.

106.14 And behold, they commit sin and transgress the law, and have been

promiscuous with women, and commit sin with them, and have married

some of them, and have begotten children by them.

106.15 And there will be great destruction over the whole Earth, and there

will be a deluge, and there will be great destruction for one year.

106.16 But this child, who has been born to you, will be left on the Earth,

and his three sons will be saved with him. When all the men who are on

the Earth die he and his sons will be saved.

106.17 They will beget on the Earth giants, not of spirit, but of flesh, and

there will be great wrath on Earth, and the Earth will be cleansed of all

corruption.

106.18 And now make known to your son Lamech that the one who has

been born is truly his son. And call his name Noah, for he will be a

remnant for you and he and his sons will be saved from the destruction

which is coming on the earth because of all the sin and all the iniquity,

which will be committed on the Earth in his days.
