1 Enoch 53:1

In 1 translation

1En-Charles

There mine eyes saw a deep valley with open mouths, and all who dwell on the earth and sea and islands shall bring to him gifts and presents and tokens of homage, but that deep valley shall not become full.The valley of Jehoshaphat, where God was to assemble and judge the Gentiles, Joel iii. 2, 12. In Joel Theodotion renders XXX and the Targ. Jon. 'plain of the decision of judgement'. The Midrash Mishle 68ᵈ holds that God will judge the whole world in this valley. Though usually identified with the Kidron, the valley originally had no locality assigned to it. See Encyc. Bib. ii. 2353.1, 2. The presents and homage of the mighty ones avail not, as they are sinners and oppressors, and therefore torments await them.
