CHAPTER XVII.
XVII-XXXVII. Enoch's Journeys through the Earth and Sheol. The First Journey.
1 And they took ⌈and⌉ brought me to a place in which those who were there were like flaming fire, and, when they wished, they appeared as men.
2 And they brought me to the place of darkness, and to a mountain the point of whose summit reached to heaven.
3 And I saw the places of the luminaries ⌈and the treasuries of the stars⌉ and of the thunder ⌈and⌉ in the uttermost depths, where were a fiery bow and arrows and their quiver, and ⌈⌈a fiery sword⌉⌉ and all the lightnings.
4 And they took me to the living waters, and to the fire of the west, which receives every setting of the sun.
5 And I came to a river of fire in which the fire flows like water and discharges itself into the great sea towards the west.
6 I saw the great rivers and came to the great ⌈river and to the great⌉ darkness, and went to the place where no flesh walks.
7 I saw the mountains of the darkness of winter and the place whence all the waters of the deep flow.
8 I saw the mouths of all the rivers of the earth and the mouth of the deep.
