1 Enoch 83:2

In 1 translation

1En-Charles
Two visions I saw before I took a wife, and the one was quite unlike the other: the first when I was learning to write: the second before I took thy mother, (when) I saw a terrible vision.Enoch took a wife at 65 (Gen. v. 21). Her name was Edna, 1 En. lxxxv. 3, cf. Jubilees iv. 19, where these Dream - Visions are referred to. Note that lxxxiii-xc are only dreams, whereas in the other sections Enoch has open intercourse with the angels, and is translated bodily. Yet on ascetic grounds one would expect the bodily translation before marriage, and the dream-visions after.
