INTRODUCTION

Although there is some controversy regarding whether the Book of Hanok

(Enoch) should be included amongst canonical Scripture, it is evident that the
group of believers responsible for writing the Dead Sea Scrolls held the Book of
Hanok in similar regard to other Books of Scripture.
A number of fragments from the Book of Hanok were found together with
fragments from 28 other First Covenant Books in Cave 4, which was discovered
and excavated in 1952, after the initial discoveries of Cave 1 and the scrolls
contained within in 1947. Of all the caves in the Qumran region, Cave 4
contained the largest number of scrolls by far. They are mostly very fragmentary
and it took 50 years to publish them all.
Among the hundreds of thousands of scroll fragments, Cave 4 contained a
number of fragments, but no extensive portions of the Book of Hanok. Chapters
16-17, much of 24, 72-75, and 80-81 are missing, and only extremely brief
passages from about 44 chapters survive. The manuscripts date from the early
2nd century BCE to the Herodian period, and at least the Book of Astronomy
predates the Book of Dani'eL
Yahudah (Jude) also quotes from the Book of Hanok 1:9 -
"And Hanok, the seventh from Adam, also nabu of these, saying, "See, 1*134"
comes with His myriads of qodeshim, to execute judgment on all, to punish all
who are wicked among them concerning all their wicked works which they have
committed in a wicked way, and concerning all the harshness which wicked
sinners have spoken against Him." Yahudah 1:14-15
The Book of Hanok was of course known before the Dead Sea Scrolls discovery,
and is recorded in Ethiopic manuscripts and manuscripts of five component parts
of Hanok have also come to light in Aramaic: Watchers (chs 1-36), Astronomy
(chs 72-82), Dreams (chs 83-90), Epistle and Appendix of Hanok (chs91-108).
