The vision was shown to me Thus: Behold, in the vision clouds invited me and a mist summoned me, and the course of the stars and the lightnings sped and hastened me, and the winds in the vision caused me to fly and lifted me upward and bore me into heaven. I went in till I drew nigh to a wall which is built of crystals and surrounded by tongues of fire: and it began to affright me. I went into the tongues of five and drew nigh to a large house which was built of crystals: and the walls of the house were like a tessellated floor (made) of crystals, and its groundwork was of crystal. Its ceiling was like the path of the stars and the lightings, and between them were fiery cherubim, and their heaven was (clear as) water. A flaming five surrounded the wall, and its portals blazed with fire. And I entered into that house, and it was hot as five and cold as ice: there were no delights of life therein: fear covered me, and trembling gat hold upon me. And as I quaked and trembled, I fell upon my face. And I beheld A vision, and lo! there was a second house, greater than the former, and the entire portal stood open before me, and it was built of flames of five, in every respect it so excelled in splendor and magnificence and extent that I cannot describe to you its splendor and its extent. And its floor was of five and above lightings and the path of the star, and the ceiling also was flaming five. I looked and saw a lofty throne: Its appearance was as crystal, and the wheels thereof as the shining sun, and there was the vision of cherubim. And from underneath the throne came streams of flaming fire so that I could not look thereon. And the Great Glore sat thereon, and His raiment shone more brightly than the sun and was whiter than any snow. None of the angels could enter and could behold His face by reason of the magnificence and glory and no flesh could behold Him. The flaming fire was round about Him, and a great fire stood before Him, and none around could draw nigh Him: ten thousand times ten thousand (stood) before Him, yet He needed no counselor. And the most holy ones who were nigh to Him did not leave by night nor depart from Him. And until then I had been on my face, trembling: and the Lord called me with His own mouth, and said to me: Come hither, Enoch, hear my word: And one of the holy ones came to me and waked me, and he made me rise up and approach the door: and I bowed my face downwards.
