Slavonicenoch Stories

2 Enoch, also called The Book of the Secrets of Enoch, describes the patriarch Enoch's mystical journey through ten heavens, where angels reveal heavenly secrets, the nature of creation, and divine wisdom, culminating in his metamorphosis and ascension to God's throne, with sections offering moral teachings for his sons and a unique narrative about Noah's miraculous birth and Melchizedek. This pseudepigraphic Jewish text, surviving only in Slavonic, blends narrative, apocalypse, and wisdom literature, distinct from 1 Enoch, and reflects early Christian-era Jewish thought, influencing later Christian traditions about angels and judgment.
