Book of Secrets

2 Enoch is a Jewish text preserved solely in the Slavonic language. The central theme of the text is the celestial ascent of the seventh antediluvian patriarch Enoch through the heavens, his luminous metamorphosis near the Throne of Glory, and his initiation into the heavenly mysteries. The book combines the features of an apocalypse and a testament. Chapters 1–38 describe Enoch’s heavenly journey that culminates in his encounter with the Deity revealing to the seer the secrets of creation. After the encounter Enoch returns to earth to instruct his children in the celestial knowledge received from God and the angels. Chapters 39–67 begin with Enoch’s testamentary admonitions to his sons during his short visit to earth and ends with the second ascension of the patriarch.
