It is not regarded as scripture by Jews or any Christian group, apart from the translation by M. Knibb of the Ethiopian text in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which to this day regards it to be canonical. S.O.A.S. Library at the University of London. Western scholars currently assert that its older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) date from about 300 BC and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably was composed at the end of the 1st century BC. However, Ethiopian scholars generally hold that Ge'ez is the language of the Section I original from which the Greek and Aramaic copies were made, pointing out that it is the only BOOK OF THE WATCHERS 2.1 Contemplate all the events in the sky; language in which the complete text has yet been found. how the lights in the sky do not change their 1.1 These are the words of the blessing of courses, how each rises and sets in order, each It is wholly extant only in the Ge'ez language, with Aramaic fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls Enoch; according to which he blessed the at its proper time, and they do not transgress and a few Greek and Latin fragments.

  • 59 ELIJAH LORE and the ENOCH METATRON NARRATIVE of 3 ENOCH I – INTRODUCTION the Enigmatic Enoch/Metatron Narrative, Included I
    ARAM, 20 (2008) 59-76. doi: 10.2143/ARAM.20.0.2033120D. ARBEL 59 ELIJAH LORE AND THE ENOCH METATRON NARRATIVE OF 3 ENOCH Dr. DAPHNA ARBEL (University of British Columbia) I – INTRODUCTION The enigmatic Enoch/Metatron narrative, included in 3 Enoch of the Hekhalot and Merkavah literature, draws together threads inherited from a broad range of previous sources to weave a new narrative in which the human/ angelic figure Enoch/Metatron plays a central role. 1 Among these sources two central streams of traditions are pivotal: early Enochic traditions concerning Enoch, and rabbinic traditions, concerning the angel Metatron. Key studies have analyzed thematic and conceptual connections between these early Enochic and rabbinic traditions and 3 Enoch, as well as the channels through which the authors of 3 Enoch came to know them.2 In contrast, not much scholarly attention has been paid to the ambiguity inherent in the new literary construction of the Enoch /Metatron narrative, and the manner in which it characterizes its main protagonist. The narrative integrates, alters, and harmo- nizes themes and images rooted in the early Enochic and rabbinic traditions in a way that seems neither predictable nor traditional. Hence, questions related 1 3 Enoch or Sefer Hekhalot, is included in P. Schäfer, Synopse zur Hekhalot Literatur in col- laboration with M. Schlüter and H.G. von Mutius (Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 1981) sections 1- 79. A German translation of 3 Enoch with text-critical notes has been provided by P. Schäfer and K.

He is the principal regent who has reign over the Cherubim since Creation, and one of the most exalted princes of Heaven. Kerubiel is about seven Heavens tall with a body made of burning coals that is covered with thousands of eyes. His face is made of fire, his eyes sparks of light, and his lashes are lightning bolts. Fire spews forth with every word that he speaks and he is covered with wings from head to toe. Thunder, lightning, and earthquakes are his constant companions and the splendor of the Shekinah shines upon him.

  • Seper Hekhalot (3 Enoch)
    SEPER HEKHALOT (3 ENOCH) Sefer Hekhalot, or as it became known: J Enoch, is probably the best known Hekhalot text. Odeberg's famous edition of the book, which also contains an English translation and commentary, made the book available to the scholarly world. In spite of all its deficiencies, 1 Odeberg's edition has done justice to the subject, and in many cases his commentary and long introduction contain interesting and valuable material. 5 efer Hekhalot is the longest and most complex of the Hekhalot writings, and by the manner in which it fuses together a number of esoteric traditions it can be viewed as a romance or grand summary of the Jewish apocalyptic and mystical traditions. Although it is clear that the book draws its material from a variety of sources, it is not always possible to identify them and to assess the special manner in which the book uses them. Even in the case of the Hekhalot material incorporated in the book it is not always easy to show where it derived from. From the manner in which the writer, or compiler, of the book put his material together we may conclude that it is not an original work, as for example Hekhalot Rabbati or even Sefer Ha-Razim are. In fact, Sefer Hekhalot fuses traditions together in a rather artificial way, and one is justified in characterizing it as an eclectic composition. In addition, the writer, or compiler, of the book used his terminology in a rather loose, even careless, manner, and the reader sometimes wonders at the degree of literary degeneration the Hekhalot literature has reached with Sefer Hekhalot.

  • Dark Mirrors: Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology
    Orlov Dark Mirrors RELIGIOUS STUDIES Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology Dark Mirrors is a wide-ranging study of two central figures in early Jewish demonology—the fallen angels Azazel and Satanael. Andrei A. Orlov explores the mediating role of these paradigmatic celestial rebels in the development of Jewish demonological traditions from Second Temple apocalypticism to later Jewish mysticism, such as that of the Hekhalot and Shi ur Qomah materials. Throughout, Orlov makes use of Jewish pseudepigraphical materials in Slavonic that are not widely known. Dark Mirrors Orlov traces the origins of Azazel and Satanael to different and competing mythologies of evil, one to the Fall in the Garden of Eden, the other to the revolt of angels in the antediluvian period. Although Azazel and Satanael are initially representatives of rival etiologies of corruption, in later Jewish and Christian demonological lore each is able to enter the other’s stories in new conceptual capacities. Dark Mirrors also examines the symmetrical patterns of early Jewish demonology that are often manifested in these fallen angels’ imitation of the attributes of various heavenly beings, including principal angels and even God himself. Andrei A. Orlov is Associate Professor of Theology at Marquette University. He is the author of several books, including Selected Studies in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha.

Higher ranks may be asserted to have greater power or authority over lower ranks, and with different ranks having differences in appearance, such as varying numbers of wings or faces. Abrahamic faiths The Assumption of the Virgin by Francesco Botticini at the National Gallery The Jewish angelic hierarchy is established London, shows three hierarchies and nine orders of angels, each with different in the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, Rabbinic characteristics. literature, and traditional Jewish liturgy. They are categorized in different hierarchies proposed by various theologians. For example, Maimonides, in his Mishneh Torah or Yad ha-Chazakah: Yesodei ha-Torah, counts ten ranks of angels. The most influential Christian angelic hierarchy was that put forward by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite in the 4th or 5th century in his book De Coelesti Hierarchia (On the Celestial Hierarchy).
