1
And the cherubim and seraphim standing about the throne, the six-winged and many-eyed ones do not depart, standing before the Lord's face doing His will, and cover His whole throne, singing with gentle voice before the Lord's face: Holy, holy, holy, Lord Ruler of Sabaoth, heavens and earth are full of Thy glory.
2
When I saw all these things, those men said to me: Enoch, thus far is it commanded us to journey with thee, and those men went away from me and thereupon I saw them not.
3
And I remained alone at the end of the seventh heaven and became afraid, and fell on my face and said to myself: Woe is me, what has befallen me?
4
And the Lord sent one of His glorious ones, the archangel Gabriel, and he said to me: Have courage, Enoch, do not fear, arise before the Lord's face into eternity, arise, come with me.
5
And I answered him, and said in myself: My Lord, my soul is departed from me from terror and trembling, and I called to the men who led me up to this place, for in them I had trusted, and it is with them that I go before the Lord's face.
6
And Gabriel caught me up, as a leaf caught up by the wind, and placed me before the Lord's face.
