1
Great were the people of the YHVH Shalom in the city of Enoch, listening as they did to the teachings passed down from the ancient of days:
2
Great knowledge and great wisdom had they, beyond the corruption of the world around them;
3
Knowing the wisdom of old, seeking from within the heart of Elohim YHVH, the Eternal Alohykm, knowledge that belonged to mankind’s youth coming out from the garden.
4
Wise were they with Elohim’s wisdom, yea they were wise with the wisdom of Ha’Elohima, these Sons of the morning and Daughters of light; yea, the very angels didst dwell among them within their city;
5
Strong were they with the power of Priesthood; drawn from that eternal fire that is Ruach HaKodesh—not the fires of this world which only cast shadows among the darkness.
6
¶ And of all these, greatest among the children of mankind was their High Priest, Enoch and one of his wives, the High Priestessb:
7
Keepers of the great temple, prophets and seers, teachers of the children of Light who dwelt within the city, driving out the priestcraft of mankind which inhabited the lands around them:
8
Mouthpiece of YHVH was Enoch; he who walked and talked with Ha’Elohim, spoke he to the kings of men with the Voice that must be obeyed.
9
¶ From this wisdom passed down from my fathers, grew I from a child into manhood, being taught by my fathers the elder mysteries, until in time there grew within me the tree of knowledge and the fire of wisdom, until it burst into a consuming flame.
10
And I desired nothing, neither food nor sleep: naught but the attainment of wisdom.
11
¶ One great day the command came from them that I be brought before Kohen Gadol, the High Priest of YHVHc in the court of my fathers.
12
Few there were at that time among the children of men who had looked upon that mighty face and lived;
13
For some that see are found wanting; and in them the fire brings madness, heresy, or death.
14
Yet was I chosen from the sons of men, taught in the ways of YHVH by Kohen Gadol so that the purpose of HaShem might be fulfilled by the passing of wisdom and knowledge; yea, and of knowledge and understanding:
15
For not as the teachings and wisdom of mankind are the teachings of the Sons of the Morning:
16
Yet I wast chosen from the sons of men, taught the ways of YHVH by Kohen Gadol that the purpose of The Name might be fulfilled by the passing of knowledge and wisdom; yea and of wisdom and understanding.
17
¶ Many years did I dwell in the Temple, learning ever and yet ever more wisdom, until I too was filled with the light emitted from the great fire (representing the Sefirot or emanations of God).
18
And he taught me the path to Ha’Elohim, the path of the Sons of the Morning, yea even the Sons of Light, even they that cried out with joy at the creation.
19
These secrets share I with you, Abram; for the lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding;
20
For where the teacher walks in the paths of YHVH, the ears of those ready for his teachings are open;
21
Likewise, when the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh a teacher to fill them with wisdom.
