The Book of Enoch

The book consists of 5 parts:

Part 1

The Book of the Watchers

Chapters 1–36
Watchers means Angels.
A short section of 1 Enoch (1:9) is cited in the New Testament Epistle of Jude, Jude 1:14–15, and is attributed there to "Enoch the Seventh from Adam" (1 Enoch 60:8), although this section of 1 Enoch is a mid-rash on Deuteronomy 33:2. Several copies of the earlier sections of 1 Enoch were preserved among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Mid-rash means is biblical exegesis by ancient Judaic authorities, using a mode of interpretation prominent in the Talmud. The word itself means "textual interpretation", "study". Midrash and rabbinic readings "discern value in texts, words, and letters, as potential revelatory spaces"
