Description: The Book of Enoch is an ancient religious text attributed to the biblical figure Enoch, who was the great-grandfather of Noah. There are actually three different books or sections that are commonly referred to as the "Books of Enoch." These texts are not part of the canonical Bible but are considered important in certain branches of Judaism and Christianity, particularly within the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Here is a brief description of each: 1 Enoch (also known as the Ethiopic Book of Enoch or the Book of the Watchers): This is the most well-known and extensive of the three books. It is believed to have been written sometime between the 3rd century BCE and the 1st century CE. It's an ancient religious text attributed to Enoch, it describes fallen angels who interact with humans, introduces forbidden knowledge, and presents Enoch's celestial journey and visions of the future. It's a significant non-canonical book with a focus on cosmology, angelology, and apocalyptic themes. 2 Enoch (also known as the Slavonic Book of Enoch or the Secrets of Enoch): This book is thought to have been written in the first century CE. It is primarily preserved in Old Church Slavonic and is not as well-known as 1 Enoch. 2 Enoch is largely concerned with Enoch's ascension into heaven, where he receives revelations about cosmology, the angelic hierarchy, and other esoteric knowledge. 3 Enoch (also known as the Hebrew Book of Enoch or the Book of Rabbi Ishmael): This book is quite different from the other two and is primarily a Jewish mystical work. It is believed to have been written in the 5th century CE. 3 Enoch describes Enoch's transformation into the angel Metatron, who serves as a high-ranking angel in Jewish mysticism and has a prominent role in the Merkabah (chariot) mysticism tradition.
