[104 . . And they will believe in them and be glad over them]; and all
[the righteous] will rejoice [to learn from them all the ways of righteousness.
io« I In those days the Lord appointed them (the righteous)] over the children
of earth, [to read (them, i.e. the books), and to testify with regard to them
according to their wisdom, saying: *Tell them about it (wisdom), for] you
are [to lead them, and you will receive your reward from all the children
of earth. ^And] you [shall have all remuneration. Be glad ye, o children of
righteousness.'
1061 And after a time I Enoch took a wife for Methuselah my son and she
brought forth a son and called] his name Lamech [saying: * Brought low,
indeed, righteousness has been to this day.' And when he came to maturity,
Methuselah took for him] a wife, and she [became pregnant by him and bore
a boy. ^And when the boy was born, his flesh was whiter than snow and]
redder [than the rose, and all his hair was white as the pure wool, and thick
and bright. And when he opened his eyes he lighted up the] whole [house
as the sun . . .]
