Download or read book The Jewish Book of 2 Enoch with Illustrations written by Pinchas Shir and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people are not familiar with extra-biblical books such as Enoch and wonder why they should be studied. The answer is simple - they shed much light on various Jewish beliefs and traditions prevalent before the emergence of Christianity. The text of this edition is an English translation by the late William R. Morfill updated and edited by us. The original translation by Professor Morfill did not include the last section of Second Enoch (2 Enoch 68-73) since it is only found in non-Slavonic versions of the book. We provide it here for your attention and enjoyment, since it contains extremely interesting and relevant ancient Jewish ideas for the study of New Testament. Exposure to such ancient worldviews allows modern students of the Holy Bible to develop a better, more nuanced understanding of antiquity and the cultural climate in which both Christianity and Judaism developed. Though the real Jewish author of the 2nd Book of Enoch is unknown, the book preserves among other things ancient Jewish perspectives and traditions associated with multiple levels of heaven, God's throne, and the glassy sea, all mentioned in Revelation Chapter 4. The text that you are about to discover mentions epochs that span a thousand years each, similar to the thousand-year Messianic reign described in Revelation Chapter 20.

Book excerpt: New Perspectives on 2 Enoch: No Longer Slavonic Only presents a collection of papers from the fifth conference of the Enoch Seminar. The conference re-examines 2 Enoch, an early Jewish apocalyptic text previously known to scholars only in its Slavonic translation, in light of recently identified Coptic fragments. This approach helps to advance the understanding of many key issues of this enigmatic and less explored Enochic text. One of the important methodological lessons of the current volume lies in the recognition that the Adamic and Melchizedek traditions, the mediatorial currents which play an important role in the apocalypse, are central for understanding the symbolic universe of the text. The volume also contains the recently identified Coptic fragments of 2 Enoch, introduced to scholars for the first time during the conference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study reframes and reorients the study of 2 Enoch, moving beyond debates about Christian or Jewish authorship and considering the work in the context of eclectic and erudite cultures in late antiquity, particularly Syria. The study compares the work with the Parables of Enoch and then with a variety of writings associated with late antique Syrian theology, demonstrating the distinctively eclectic character of 2 Enoch. It offers new paradigms for research into the pseudepigrapha.

Download or read book Essays on the Book of Enoch and Other Early Jewish Texts and Traditions written by Michael Anthony Knibb and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together twenty-one essays by Michael Knibb on the Book of Enoch and on other Early Jewish texts and traditions, which were originally published in a wide range of journals, Festschriften, conference proceedings and thematic collections. A number of the essays are concerned with the issues raised by the complex textual history and literary genesis of 1 Enoch, but the majority are concerned with the interpretation of specific texts or with themes such as messianism. The essays illustrate some of the dominant concerns of Michael Knibb's work, particularly the importance of the idea of exile; the way in which older texts regarded as authoritative were reinterpreted in later writings; and the connections between the apocalyptic writings and the sapiential literature.

Download or read book Complete Books of Enoch written by Ann Nyland and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2010-10-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buy the Paperback, get the Kindle version for free!Many of the Book of Enoch books available are in fact public domain (the R. H. Charles version of 1917) which means they can be given away to anyone for free, by anyone. This book is NOT one of those. What is the problem with public domain versions? They are full of errors, as they are around 100 years old and out-dated scholarship. Sure, they might be cheap, but most of the information is wrong.World renowned scholar Dr. A. Nyland has a doctorate in ancient languages and word meaning. She was a college professor at the University of New England, Australia, lecturing in ancient languages. She has appeared on television and radio numerous times speaking about ancient languages and ancient peoples.These days, many non-translators (some of whom actually claim to be translators) sell the public domain version of 1917 by R.H. Charles (both as is, and also disguised by slight rewording) as a commercial venture. This version reflects the knowledge of The Book of Enoch as it was back in 1917. Great advances have been made since then. This (all 3 Books of Enoch) is a NEW (2010) and easy-to-read translation by ancient languages scholar Dr. A. Nyland and is NOT the 1917 R.H. Charles Public Domain translation of The Book of Enoch.The Book of Enoch is of importance to theosophy, mysticism and angelology and demonology.This book is an easy-to-read translation with cross references, copious background notes, and notes. This new translation by Dr. A. Nyland contains all 3 Books of Enoch: 1) 1 Book of Enoch (Also called The Ethiopic Book of Enoch) 2) 2 Book of Enoch (Also called The Slavonic Book of Enoch, The Secrets of Enoch). Also contains the extended version of 2 The Book of Enoch, The Exaltation of Melchizedek. 3) 3 Book of Enoch (Also called The Hebrew Book of Enoch) The Books of Enoch are of interest to a wide audience: theosophy, mysticism. 1 Book of Enoch tells of the Watchers, a class of angel, who taught humans weapons, spell potions, root cuttings, astrology, astronomy, and alchemy. The Watchers also had sex with human women and produced the Nephilim. For this, they were imprisoned and cast into Tartarus. This is also mentioned in the New Testament. In 2 Book of Enoch, two angels take Enoch through the 7 heavens. This volume contains the extended version of 2 Book of Enoch, The Exaltation of Melchizedek. In 3 Book of Enoch, Enoch ascends to heaven and is transformed into the angel Metatron. This is about the Merkabah and is of interest to those who study mysticism and magic, and Kabbalah. People interested in theosophy or mysticism will find this book invaluable, as will Rosicrucians.

Download or read book The Book of Enoch written by Enoch and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Book of Enoch" is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel. Most Christian denominations and traditions may accept the Books of Enoch as having some historical or theological interest, but they generally regard the Books of Enoch as non-canonical or non-inspired. It is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, but not by any other Christian groups.It is wholly extant only in the Ge'ez language, with Aramaic fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls and a few Greek and Latin fragments. For this and other reasons, the traditional Ethiopian belief is that the original language of the work was Ge'ez, whereas non-Ethiopian scholars tend to assert that it was first written in either Aramaic or Hebrew; Ephraim Isaac suggests that the Book of Enoch, like the Book of Daniel, was composed partially in Aramaic and partially in Hebrew. No Hebrew version is known to have survived. It is asserted in the book itself that its author was Enoch, before the Biblical Flood.Although evidently widely known during the development of the Hebrew Bible canon, 1 Enoch was excluded from both the formal canon of the Tanakh and the typical canon of the Septuagint and therefore, also from the writings known today as the Deuterocanon. One possible reason for Jewish rejection of the book might be the textual nature of several early sections of the book that make use of material from the Torah; for example, 1 En 1 is a midrash of Deuteronomy 33. The content, particularly detailed descriptions of fallen angels, would also be a reason for rejection from the Hebrew canon at this period - as illustrated by the comments of Trypho the Jew when debating with Justin Martyr on this subject: "The utterances of God are holy, but your expositions are mere contrivances, as is plain from what has been explained by you; nay, even blasphemies, for you assert that angels sinned and revolted from God." (Dialogue 79)The Book of Enoch was considered as scripture in the Epistle of Barnabas (16:4) and by many of the early Church Fathers, such as Athenagoras, Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus and Tertullian, who wrote c. 200 that the Book of Enoch had been rejected by the Jews because it contained prophecies pertaining to Christ. However, later Fathers denied the canonicity of the book, and some even considered the Epistle of Jude uncanonical because it refers to an "apocryphal" work.

Download or read book The Books of Enoch written by Thomas R and published by Crux Press. This book was released on 2024-04-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains all three books attributed to Enoch. 1 Enoch, 2 Enoch, and 3 Enoch. The Books of Enoch are ancient Hebrew apocalyptic religious texts ascribed to Enoch, the son of Jared, the father of Methuselah, and the great-grandfather of Noah. The 1st Book of Enoch, also known as the Ethiopic Book of Enoch or 1 Enoch, is more often known as the Book of Enoch. Although the Western canon considers this book spurious, it is included in the Ethiopic Bible. It was deemed sacred by some of Christ's early disciples, but it was left out of the Bible and vanished for decades until it was unearthed in Ethiopic in 1773. This manuscript was translated into English in the 1820s and into German in the 1830s for the first time. Most academics believe that part of it was composed in the third century BCE and part in the first century CE (the part related to the Son of Man). Although the oldest complete copies of 1 Enoch are K-9 or Kebran 9, which dates from the late fourteenth to early fifteenth century, and Ethiopian Monastic Microfilm Library (EMML 2080), which dates from the fifteenth or fourteenth century, fragments discovered in Qumramin in the 1950s are over 2000 years old. Abbadianus 55 (perhaps fifteenth century) and British Museum Orient 485 are two more old noteworthy manuscripts (first half of the sixteenth century). The Slavonic Enoch, or 2 Enoch, is another spurious book discovered solely in Old Slavonic manuscripts, and it was previously included in the Old Slavonic Bible. It is commonly dated to the first century CE, although according to Matthew Black in The Oxford Handbook to Persons and Places of the Bible, there is no copy older than the fourteenth century BE. The 3rd Book of Enoch, also known as the Hebrew Enoch or 3 Enoch, is a Rabbinic literature written in Hebrew that is commonly dated to the fifth century CE. Some scholars assume it was composed by Rabbi Ishmael (second century CE), who was well-versed in both 1 and 2 Enoch.
