R.H. Charles (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1913) Section I. Chapters I-XXXVI Chapters 1-54
The Book of Enoch is quoted by Jude and the story is repeated several times. Only by reading Enoch do we grasp what is being quoted. Someone has estimated that the book of Enoch is quoted at least 128 times in the New Testament.

Chapter 1
1 The word of the blessing of Enoch, how he blessed the elect and the righteous, who were to exist in the time of trouble; rejecting all the wicked and ungodly. Enoch, a righteous man, who was (1) with God, answered and spoke, while his eyes were open, and while he saw a holy vision in the heavens. This the angels showed me.

7 But to them shall he give peace: he shall preserve the elect, and towards them exercise clemency.
8 Then shall all belong to God; be happy and blessed; and the splendour of the Godhead shall illuminate them.

When God gave the Book of the Covenant, Exodus reads:
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. Exodus 19:18
However, as a result of the musical idolatry--rising up to play--God gave them the Book of the Law to protect them. After punishment, God ordained the Levites to stand between the people and the Tabernacle as the symbol of His presence. All but the Levites and Priests were now strangers and the clergy must bear the burden for the people. Therefore, in Deuteronomy, the second law or that "in addition to the Covenant":
