| 8. And a male monster, whose name is Behemoth; which possesses, moving on his breast, the invisible wilderness. His name was Dendayen in the east of the garden, where the elect and the righteous will dwell; where he received it from my ancestor, who was man, from Adam the first of men, (55) whom the Lord of spirits made. (55) He received it…first of men. Or, "my [great-] grandfather was taken up, the seventh from Adam" (Charles, p. 155). This implies that this section of the book was written by Noah, Enoch's descendant, rather than Enoch. Scholars have speculated that this portion of the book may contain fragments of the lost Apocalypse of Noah. |
But the masculine is named Behemoth, who occupies, with his breast, a void desert called Dêndâin, in the east of the garden where the chosen and holy will dwell, where my grandfather was taken up, the seventh from Adam, the first of men whom the Lord of the spirits made.

But the male is named Behemoth, who occupied with his breast a waste wilderness named †Duidain†, on the east of the garden where the elect and righteous dwell, where my grandfather was taken up, the seventh from Adam, the first man whom the Lord of Spirits created.

Och ett manligt vidunder, hvars namn är Behemot, hvilket gående på sitt bröst bebor den osynliga ödemarken. Hans namn var Dendayen i öster af trädgården, hvarest de utvalde och rättfärdige skola bo; hvarest han emottog det från min stamfader, som var menniska, från Adam den förste af menniskor, hvilken Andarnes Herre skapade.
|
men det manliga heter Behemot, och det upptager med sitt bröst en öken, kallad Dendain, öster om lustgården, där de utvalde och rättfärdiga bo och hvarest min * farfar blef upptagen, den sjunde från Adam, den första människa, som andarnas Herre skapat.
