angels and a meeting with the Head of Days.

Four of the Watchers are named at 71.9; they
may have been assigned to look after Enoch

because they could speak his language well.
Enoch seems to have asked questions and made

some notes, and this section, and the next
section, and "the Law of the Stars" is the
result. My opinion is that the Watchers

knew the answers to Enoch's questions, but
it was difficult for them to explain the

answers to Enoch in terms that he could
understand.

-This is shown clearly at 60.14 and 60.15
where Enoch reports an explanation of
thunder and lightning and why you see the

flash before you hear the bang. This is
common knowledge now - but not to Enoch. I

think that Enoch believed, initially, that
the bangs and flashes occurred separately
made by different processes. He reports

that they are not separate although not the
same, 60.14, because a spirit makes them

inseparable. Since Enoch assumes that you
see and hear things at the instant they
happen he finds it hard to understand why

the sound has to wait and so brings a
storehouse into the explanation.
