The
Book of Enoch (also
1 Enoch;
Ge'ez: መጽሐፈ ሄኖክ
mätṣḥäfä henok) is an ancient
Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to
Enoch, the great-grandfather of
Noah, although modern scholars estimate the older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) to date from about 300 BC, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to the first century BC.
