Commentary on the
Book of Enoch, Chapter 60:4-10.

Text

60:4  And
Michael sent another angel from among the holy ones and he raised me up, and when
          he had raised me up my spirit returned; for I had not been able to endure the look of this
          host, and the commotion and the quaking of the heaven.
60:5  And
Michael said unto me: ‘Why art thou disquieted with such a vision? Until this day lasted
          the day of His mercy; and He hath been merciful and long-suffering towards those who
          dwell on the earth.
60:6  And when the day, and the power, and the punishment, and the judgment come, which
         
Yehuveh of spirits hath prepared for those who worship not the righteous law, and for
          those who deny the righteous judgment, and for those who
take His name in vain—that
          day is prepared, for the elect
a covenant, but for sinners an inquisition.
60:7  And on that day where two monsters parted, a female monster named Leviathan, to dwell
          in the abysses of the ocean over the fountains of the waters.
60:8  But the male is named Behemoth, who occupied with his breast a waste wilderness named
          Dűidâin, on the east of the garden where the elect and righteous dwell, where my
          grandfather was taken up, the seventh from Adam, the first man whom Yehuveh of
          spirits created.
60:9  And I besought the other angel that he should show me the might of those monsters, how
          they were parted on one day and cast, the one into the abysses of the sea, and the other
          into the dry land of the wilderness.
60:10  And he said to me: ‘Thou son of man, herein thou dost seek to know what is hidden.’
