The Book of Enoch (Chapter 12) - 4/4

Notes
The Third Parable. (Pages 75-85)
The two monsters mentioned at 60.7 are also mentioned in the book of Job possibly the oldest book in the Bible. See Job 40.15 & 41.1. Behemoth is "the beast" and Leviathan is "the monster of chaos,” but what they represent, in Enoch's book, is not made clear.

At 60.10, the Watchers say it is a secret and then they soon change the subject.

At 60.1 Enoch gives his age; it is written as 500 and not 50 in the Ethiopian copies. I feel this must be due to an ancient transcription error so I have substituted 50 as the most likely alternative.

I suspect that Enoch had just had his exact age calculated by the Watchers, based on the story of his birth, which would be a rare thing to know in the days before calendars were in everyday use.
