Book of Enoch 106:1–19

¹ And after some days my son Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she became pregnant by him and bore a son. (ENO) ² And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head †and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful†. And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright. (ENO) ³ And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and †conversed with† the Lord of righteousness. (ENO) ⁴ And his father Lamech was afraid of him and fled, and came to his father Methuselah. (ENO) ⁵ And he said unto him: ‘I have begotten a strange son, diverse from and unlike man, and resembling the sons of the God of heaven; and his nature is different and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his countenance is glorious.

(ENO) ¹¹ And he arose in the hands of the midwife, and opened his mouth and blessed the Lord of heaven. (ENO) ¹² And his father Lamech became afraid and fled to me, and did not believe that he was sprung from him, but that he was in the likeness of the angels of heaven; and behold I have come to thee that thou mayst make known to me the truth.’ (ENO) ¹³ And I, Enoch, answered and said unto him: ‘The Lord will do a new thing on the earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and make known to thee that in the generation of my father Jared some of the angels of heaven transgressed the word of the Lord.
