1 Enoch 32:1

In 1 translation

1En-Charles

(And after these fragrant odours, as I looked towards the north over the mountains I saw seven mountains full of choice nard and fragrant trees and cinnamon and pepper.)E (To the north-east I beheld seven mountains full of choice nard and mastic and cinnamon and pepper.)GᵍThe earthly Garden of Eden and the Tree of Knowledge.To the north-east Gᵍ, 'towards the North 'E. That Gᵍ is right appears from v. 2 'far towards the East' in both Gᵍ and E. So the Garden of Righteousness in lxx. 3, lxxvii. 3 in the NW. is distinct from the primitive earthly Garden of Righteousness or Eden in the NE. mentioned here. Also the seven mountains here in the NE. must be distinct from the seven mountains, one being God's throne, in the NW. in xviii. 6, xxiv, 2 seqq. The garden here seems not to be the abode of the departed righteous, unlike the garden in lx. 8, 23, lxi. 12, lxv. 2, lxx. 3, lxxvii. 3. Instead their souls have a division in Sheol. xxii. 9.
