Second Book of Enoch (2 Enoch, Secrets of Enoch, Slavonic Enoch)

The Second Book of Enoch was originally written in Greek at Alexandria although some parts of the text were written in Hebrew in Palestine. It is dated to the 1st century prior to the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. Two angels take Enoch into six heavens. Enoch is then taken by Gabriel into the seventh heaven and then by Michael into the Lord's presence. This book contains the extended version of 2 Enoch, The Exaltation of Melchizedek, and is an easy to read translation, with notes and cross references to both scripture and contemporary writings.
