Book Reviews of Lost Book of Enoch : A Comprehensive Transliteration of the Forgotten Book of the Bible
Book Review: 2004 translation of the Ethiopian Version of Enoch's Prophesies
Summary: 4 Stars
Revised review: The translator of the Book of Enoch considers "2 Enoch" (the Slavonic version) as corrupted and inferior, therefore exclusively using "1 Enoch", the Ethiopian version. He uses plain, modern English, merging different previous translators, occasionally providing alternative vocabulary in brackets. The respective Western Bible sections are included which are referencing this obviously prior source. Some interpretation possibilities are provided, which are exactly that: possibilities.
The Book of Enoch is - among other subjects - about transgressions of angels and humans alike. Written in the Old Testament style, God/Jah appears to be vengeful and unforgiving on the surface. However, mystics will be able to see that differently. For example, there are hints about the sin of separation and that the flooded animals/humans/angels aren't destroyed, but now assembled/returned with good mind again to a joyful Jah/God. Those who blind separations experience death/perishable years of existence.
Accordingly, violence, hunger for power and greed gets condemmed. Which is a central theme in the rest of the Bible/the Western Bible, but got misinterpreted a lot in order to downpress and exploit minorities, i.e. doing exactly the opposite from that which had been written. In that line the Book of Enoch clarifies that a petition on behalf of the ones condemmed is not given, even if they speak all the words from God's writings.
Interesting the condemnation of kings in this Ethiopian Bible canon. Also the lengthy section of the sheep and wolves methaphor is of interest.
No less intriguing the search for knowledge in contrast to idol worship (the latter of which is interpretable also as beliefs of separations, veneration of gold, power etc). As an example, the Book of Enoch is against astrology, but elaborates intensely on astronomy. Suggesting a very different trend from the Western Bible translations, omissions and concepts.
