ḤANOḴ 67

1 And in those days the word of Elohim came unto me, and He said to me, “Noaḥ, your lot has come up before Me, a lot without blame, a lot of love and uprightness.

2 “And now the messengers are making a wooden object, and when they have completed that task I will place My hand upon it and preserve it, and there shall come forth from it the seed of life, and a change shall come so that the earth will not remain without inhabitant.

3 “And I will establish your seed before me forever and ever, and I will spread abroad those who dwell with you. It shall not be unfruitful on the face of the earth, but it shall be baruḵ and multiply on the earth in the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.”

4 And He will imprison those messengers, who have shown unrighteousness, in that burning valley which my grandfather Ḥanoḵ had formerly shown to me in the west among the mountains of gold and silver and iron and soft metal and tin.

5 And I saw that valley in which there was a great earthquake and a convulsion of the waters.

6 And when all this took place, from that fiery molten metal and from the earthquake in that place, there was produced a smell of sulphur, and it was connected with those waters, and that valley of the messengers who had led astray burned beneath that land.

7 And through its valleys proceed streams of fire, where these messengers are punished who had led astray those who dwell upon the earth.

8 But those waters shall in those days serve for the sovereigns and the mighty and the exalted, and those who dwell on the earth, for the healing of the body, but for the punishment of the spirit. Now their spirit is full of lust, that they may be punished in their body, for they have denied 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts and see their punishment daily, and yet do not believe in His Name.

9 And in proportion as the burning of their bodies becomes severe, a corresponding change shall take place in their spirit forever and ever; for before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts none shall utter an idle word.

10 For the judgment shall come upon them, because they believe in the lust of their body and deny the Ruaḥ of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

11 And those same waters will undergo a change in those days; for when those messengers are punished in these waters, these water-springs shall change their temperature, and when the messengers ascend, this water of the springs shall change and become cold.

12 And I heard Miḵa’ĕl answering and saying, “This judgment with which the messengers are judged is a witness for the sovereigns and the mighty who possess the earth.

13 “Because these waters of judgment minister to the healing of the body of the sovereigns and the lust of their body; therefore they will not see and will not believe that those waters will change and become a fire which burns forever.”
