XXIV. 1. 〚And from thence I went to another place of the earth〛, and he showed me a mountain range of fire which burnt 〚day and〛 night. 2. And I went beyond it and saw seven magnificent mountains all differing each from the other, and the stones (thereof) were magnificent and beautiful, magnificent as a whole, of glorious appearance and fair exterior: 〚three towards〛 the east, 〚one〛 founded on the other, and three towards the south, 〚one〛 upon the other, and deep rough ravines, no one of which joined with any other. 3. And the seventh mountain was in the midst of these, and it excelled them in height, resembling the seat of a throne: and fragrant trees encircled the throne. 4. And amongst them was a tree such as I had never yet smelt, neither was any amongst them nor were others like it: it had a fragrance beyond all fragrance, and its leaves and blooms and wood wither not for ever: and its fruit 〚is beautiful, and its fruit〛 resembles the dates of a palm. 5. Then I said: ‘⌜How⌝ beautiful is this tree, and fragrant, and its leaves are fair, and its blooms 〚very〛 delightful in appearance.’ 6. Then answered Michael, one of the holy 〚and honoured〛 angels who was with me, and was their leader, XXV. 1. And he said unto me: ‘Enoch, why dost thou ask me regarding the fragrance of the tree, and ⌜why⌝ dost thou wish to learn the truth?’ 2. Then I answered him, 〚saying〛: ‘I wish to know about everything, but especially about this tree.’ 3. And he answered, saying: ‘This high mountain 〚which thou hast seen〛, whose summit is like the throne of God, is His throne, where the Holy Great One, the Lord of Glory, the Eternal King will sit, when He shall come down to visit the earth with goodness. 4. And as for this fragrant tree no mortal is permitted to touch it till the great judgement, when He shall take vengeance on all and bring (everything) to its consummation for ever. It shall then be given to the righteous and holy. 5. Its fruit =shall be= for food to the elect: it shall be transplanted to the holy place, to the temple of the Lord, the Eternal King. 6. Then shall they rejoice with joy and be glad. And into the holy place shall they enter; And its fragrance shall be in their bones, And they shall live a long life on earth, Such as thy fathers lived: And in their days shall no 〚sorrow or〛 plague Or torment or calamity touch them.’ 7. Then blessed I the God of Glory, the Eternal King, who hath prepared such things for the righteous, and hath created them and promised to give to them. _Jerusalem and the Mountains, Ravines, and Streams._
