《《The book of Enoch》（以诺书）》狱蛇

45、Annotation for Section XVIII

　　CHAP. 91.
　　Havinggiven his children an account of the events to come, Enoch proceeds to instruct them as to their conduct in preparation for that event. The parenetic words that now follow are thus intimately connected with the two visions. He tells Methuselah to call together his family to instruct them, 81: 6. Word, the (闪族语) spiritually discerned; cf. 14: 24.

　　—3. He, i.e. Enoch. Properly, literally, in rectitude, in aright manner. Love, cf. 94: 1.

　　—4. Double heart, cf. Ps. xii. 2. Associate, 94: 2, 3; 104: 6. Companion, cf. Prov. vii. 4.

　　—5. This conduct is necessary, because injustice will at last be cut off, vs. 8 and 11, and completed, i.e. will have to end. The reference is here to the first judgment, the deluge.

　　—6. The period after the deluge. Come forth, 1: 3.

　　—8. Final judgment. Roots, vs. 11. Deception, chosen with reference to the double heart, vs. 4; cf. Past. Her. Vis. ii. 2, 4; Barn. xix. 5.

　　—9. Pictures, i.e. idols. Towers, i.e. temples. The author has not forgotten the symbolism of his two visions. Idolatry is abhorred in 80: 7; 99: 7-9, 14. They, i.e. who? the unconverted heathen, as Dillmann supposes, or those that fell off and reviled, vs. 7, and consequently worshiped in these temples?

　　—10. Just one, collectively used. Will rise, cf. notes on 51: 1, 2. Wisdom will arise, easily understood from chap. 42; cf. 5: 8; 48: 1.

　　—11. Sword, cf. 90: 19; 91: 12.

　　—12-17. will be treated after 93: 14, where they undoubtedly belong.

　　—18. Good continuation of vs. 11. Again, i.e. in the following.—19. Cf. vs. 5 and 7-11.
