1I went from there to another place and saw a mountain of fire flaming both by day and night, I went towards it, and beheld seven splendid mountains, which were all different from each other.
2Their stones were brilliant and beautiful, all were brilliant and splendid to behold, and their surface was beautiful. Three were towards the east, and strengthened by being placed one upon another, and three were towards the south, strengthened in a similar manner, and there were deep valleys, which did not come near one another, and the seventh mountain was in the midst of them. In position they were like the seat of a throne, and odoriferous trees surrounded them.
3There was among them a tree of an unceasing smell, and there was none of all the sweet-scented trees which were in Eden like this in smell; for its leaf, its blossom, and its bark never withered, and its fruit was beautiful,
4Its fruit was like the clusters of the palm. I exclaimed, Behold, this tree is excellent in appearance, pleasant in its leaf, and the sight of its fruit is delightful to the eye. Then answered Michael, one of the holy and glorious angels who were with me, and who presided over them,
5And said, Enoch, why enquirest thou concerning the odour of this tree?
6Why art thou desirous to know it?
7Then I Enoch answered to him, and said, I am desirous of information concerning every thing, but particularly concerning this tree.
8He answered me and said; That mountain which thou seest, whose head in extension is like the seat of the Lord, will be the seat on which the holy and great Lord of glory, the everlasting King, shall sit when he shall come and descend to visit the earth with goodness.
9And that tree of a pleasant smell, not one of carnal odour, they shall not be able to touch until the time of the great judgment, when all shall be punished and cast off for ever, this shall be appointed for the righteous and humble, and the fruit of this tree, the tree of life, shall be given to the elect; for towards the north, life shall be planted in the holy place, towards the habitation of the everlasting King.
10Then they shall greatly rejoice and triumph in the Holy One, the sweet odour shall enter into their bones, and they shall live a long life on earth as thy ancestors have lived; neither in their days shall sorrow, distress, trouble, and punishment afflict them.
11And I praised the Lord of glory, the everlasting King, because he has made this tree, prepared it for the saints, and declared that he would give it to them.
