McCracken’s Notes
THE THIRD PARABLE (Pgs. 101-115)
- The two monsters mentioned at 60.7 are
also mentioned in the book of Job possibly
the oldest book in the Bible. See Job 40.15
& 41.1. Behemoth is "the beast" and
Leviathan is ”the monster of chaos,” but
what they represent, in Enoch's book, is
not made clear. At 60.10, the Watchers say
it is a secret and then they soon change
the subject.
- At 60.1 Enoch gives his age; it is written
as 500 and not 50 in the Ethiopian copies.
I feel this must be due to an ancient
transcription error, so I have substituted
50 as the most likely alternative. I
suspect that Enoch had just had his exact
age calculated by the Watchers, based on
100
