The Book of Enoch the Prophet (1883)
1Eno(Lau)
[[SECT. XVII.]]
[No book] [1]After this I saw another dream, and explained it all to thee, my son. Enoch arose and said to his son Mathusala, To thee, my son, will I speak. Hear my word; and incline thine ear to the visionary dream of thy father. Before I married thy mother Edna, I saw a vision on my bed;
[No book] [2]And behold, a cow sprung forth from the earth;
[No book] [3]And this cow was white.
[No book] [4]Afterwards a female heifer sprung forth; and with it another heifer: one of them was black, and one was red.
[No book] [5]The black heifer then struck the red one, and pursued it over the earth.
[No book] [6]From that period I could see nothing more of the red heifer; but the black one increased in bulk, and a female heifer came with him.
[No book] [7]After this I saw that many cows proceeded forth, resembling him, and following after him.
[No book] [8]The first female young one also went out in the presence of the first cow; and sought the red heifer; but found him not.
[No book] [9]And she lamented with a great lamentation, while she was seeking him.
[No book] [10]Then I looked until that first cow came to her, from which time she became silent, and ceased to lament.
[No book] [11]Afterwards she calved another white cow.
[No book] [12]And again calved many cows and black heifers.
[No book] [13]In my sleep also I perceived a white bull, which in like manner grew, and became a large white bull.
[No book] [14]After him many white cows came forth, resembling him.
[No book] [15]And they began to calve many other white cows, which resembled them and followed each other.
