[Enoch's Journeys through the Earth and Sheol. The Fire that deals with the Luminaries of Heaven.] [1]From thence I went to another place to the west of the ends of the earth, [2]And I saw a [E: burning] fire which ran without resting, and paused not from its course day or night but (ran) regularly, [3]And I asked saying: What is this which rests not? [4]Then Raguel, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered me [E: and said unto me]: This course [Gg: of fire] [E: which thou hast seen] is the fire in the west which +persecutes+ all the luminaries of heaven.
